A sausage buffet?
Cognac.
Feels like Christmas!
That's my pub lights tricking you!
Our house...the dining room is huge, and it's built right into the kitchen, open design (which I hate), so we took half of it and put in a small bar and a bar back, then painted it up, got a little pub table and chairs on the cheap, and hung a bunch of pictures and sentimental items all over the walls.You have your own Pub?
It's not a wet bar, and it's small, very condensed, so maybe a pubette.
Ok, you know how pubs in Britain have all these interesting names, like The Fox And Hounds and The Coach And Horses? We wanted something like that, but with our slightly off-center humor, we wanted the name to be a complete non-sequitur.
We happened to have a pub sign that we'd bought in the UK in the 90's, and it features Jack The Ripper on it, and we'd also somehow acquired a dragon flag from somewhere, and both are in the pub, so we named it "The Ripper And Dragon."
In a strange twist of fate, less than a week after we christened it, my wife was diagnosed with myositis, and the meds she's on to control that severely limit her alcohol consumption, so our dreams of nightly cocktails at 5PM and nightcaps at 9PM disappeared pretty quickly.

I love it!
I found a mini bottle of rosé Prosecco hiding in the fridge, so we're having a splash of that. No OJ.
This is another raspberry ale - part of a variety box.
This one is much more beer and much less raspberry. It's barely there. The Sam Smith's was almost syrupy sweet, where this one isn't.

You drink Prosecco with OJ? I've never heard of that.
Yeah, Italian mimosa!
From Wikipedia:Which shows what an innocent I am in terms of cocktails.
"A mimosa cocktail is composed of champagne(or other sparkling wine) and chilled citrus juice, usually orange juice unless otherwise specified. It is traditionally served in a tall flute at brunch, at weddings, or as part of business or first class service on some passenger railways and airlines.[1] The mixing ratio of the "classic mimosa" differs based on the source."
Nice for breakfast in bed then!
