If you joined me on Instagram live, you saw how I made this cocktail but for the rest of you degenerates (I kid, I kind), I wanted to post the recipe! If anyone has any better ideas for what to call this drink, please let me know because while I really enjoy drinking cocktails, I don’t as much enjoy naming them.

Cheers!
