It’s been a slow day, and now it’s time for “something fast.” The latest entry in the catalog of drinks is the Ass (Arse) Burner. Ingredients? Although they can vary, the present incarnation is tequila, orange juice and hot sauce (Tabasco). That’ll fix ya. And guarantee a long line to the toilet. What do you ask the barkeep to make for you? Any preferences?

I like the moxy on that one. I'm old school. Dark rum and coke. And a bit boring I think by my choice.

At the pub? Probably a Magners. If it's a proper cocktail bar, I'm partial to a negroni or anything spiked with jalapeño. I also think a truly good margarita can be a thing of sublime beauty (I know of only one in DC - at a Chinese restaurant of all places).
