Combining favorites in a haphazard fashion can ruin our appreciate for even the individual components.  I do not know how many times people have rushed in for that extra boost and parlayed everything in site.  Six legs come through while the final one hits the wall.  Instead of having a great day, all comes up in tatters.  The same thing happens in beverage crafting.  Most trial and error is great but every once in a while the shudder one gets from a misfire can cause you to stand clear of each ingredient.  Today AB’s The brink will look at how one of our drinks got over this fear and allowed us to wager at will once again.

GGG, Parlays, and the Mayweather Pacquiao Fight

My stormy night can on an occasion where GGG was fighting.  Golovkin is a beast.  He is one of the few fighters I managed to get on early before the world caught on.  I was parlaying him with everything in site.  Not only does his undefeated record was in play but his penchant to destroy almost everyone by knockout.  Well, I jumped feet first too many times without thinking and parlayed the KO to all my wagers.  It was one of the few times it did not cash.  It crushed me emotionally.  Caused me to miss a few good years following the Sweet Science.  Only now with Floyd and Manny has the love returned.  Had I looked at GGG’s foe that night, I would have given pause to it and saved months of heartache.

Success on the Beverage Front

Same feet first in the adult beverage realm but I learned from GGG.  Now I scour for information before I just pour it all in.  I came across a recipe for a Dark N Stormy.  Naturally with any good marketing, the name is the first barb that sink into you.  Interesting, so I found out that it both had rum and ginger beer.  Favorites of mine.  Pour them in one glass and it reminds the sailors of a night that no man should be at sea.  Drink too many of this and you will certainly be grounded in your bed the next morning.  It is simple to sample and here it is.

So to get the brain properly pickled for today’s free pick.  Mix in the order I gave you, sip, and enjoy.  Tonight has the game where a passing of the torch could happen.  The Clippers host and are favored by -1 1/2 over the Spurs.  If San Antonio gets bounced in the first round then the dynasty ends.  We love the Clippers in this spot.  Chris Paul and Blake could shake their playoff reps by moving a step closer this evening.  Grab your Dark N Stormy’s because the Spurs are headed for rough seas this evening.
