Past sins have marred my drinking present. As I have stated before, I am not a big whiskey drinker. It’s always a challenge for me to choose a whiskey based drink. But Gustavo felt strongly about the Louisiana Mule from the Morgantown Bar, and I followed his lead. There is nothing stronger than a man’s strong feelings about a drink. If someone close to you believes so much in a drink, then you have no choice but to follow. I looked at the calendar, and Mardi Gras popped up – it  was no coincidence that I was tasting the Lousiana Mule a few days before Mardi Gras. The drink mirrored the excess of Mardi Gras, and it had the nice feeling of an old-timey cocktail, one that brings about delightful inebriation through excessiveness of senses and straightforward sincere liquor.
