Now that tax day - April 15th - is safely behind us, it's time to celebrate a little. Even if you
don't feel like celebrating, at least have a drink and allow yourself to remember that you won't have to do this again
for another year. Courtesy of the Wall Street Journal, here's a recipe thats perfect for
the occasion:
Income Tax Cocktail
1 oz. gin
3/4 oz. fresh orange juice
1/4 oz. dry vermouth
3/4 oz. sweet vermouth
dash of bitters
Combine and shake with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass and
serve with an orange wedge (or a cherry) and a sigh of relief.

Iced Tea 101
Pierogies + cheese + onions + kraut = Parmageddon!

This is one of my long-time favorites. It tastes a lot milder than the ingredients would suggest, and just like its namesake, will clean you out.

Tax time is among the most slow time in Las Vegas. The high end customers that Las Vegas craves are usually the ones who have to write a check on April 15 (or 17'th in the case of 2006), so they need their cash to pay the IRS.
Maybe Las Vegas should promote "tax day" as "tourism day" ... letting people know they can come enjoy all the cocktails they want ... along with cheaper rooms (around tax day)!
