Here’s an Official Postcrossing card from Russia! I have 25 minutes left to post today and keep my one-a-day streak going. Given a certain topic that’s filling all Facebook feeds right now, I figured something with a touch of alcohol might be in order, even if it’s not 60% alcohol-based. This here is the John Collins cocktail, a beverage that came about in the mid-1800s. It’s said that it was named after a headwaiter at a London hotel called Limmer’s Old House, and so the original recipe uses London dry gin. The other way you can make one, though, is with Bourbon whiskey. I don’t know how it would taste so… you’ll have to find out for yourself! Thanks a bunch for sending me this postcard!
