This weekend is a BIG weekend for me.
I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time…the moment when my second love emerges after more than a year of silence and total abandonment…
Thank you to Urban Moms/Pinterest for this one of the dashing Don Draper. |
It’s when Jon Hamm…I mean Don Draper and the whole Mad Men cast come back to my television on Sundays and take me back to a time when drinking at the office was the norm, big hair was all the rage and the gal with the boobs in the office was the hottie. (I could have been so cool back then, maybe.)
Anyhow, season 6 of Mad Men returns to AMC this weekend for a two-hour opener on Sunday. I’m a little sad since after season 7 this show will come to a close, but for now I relish the time I have left to bask at Jon Hamm…(can you tell I have a small obsession with Jon Hamm? Check out my Pinterest for a nice little place I go when I need to put a smile on my face.)
And of course, what goes better with viewing a show that spends a lot of time drinking than to raise a glass of spirits. Last month when Downton Abbey concluded the season my friend and I enjoyed one “upstairs” drink with a little bubbly and one “downstairs” drink with a half/half British beer combo. It was so much fun to get a little into character, so I would be remiss not to toast to MM6 with a cocktail in hand.

Thankfully, AMC has made sure everyone can enjoy the whole show with recipes for several drinks from the times. So let’s celebrate with a few of my favorite sexy cocktails I found and will be sipping on Sunday.
Did I mention that these have like two ingredients too, so you can’t mess than up? Or you could just get a bottle and do it like the rest of the guys did. (But that wouldn’t be as fun, right?)
