Probably not Italian. But pretty freakin’ scary.

The Italian Gentleman Cocktail, on the other hand, is not one bit scary. Not sure what the origin of the name is, but I do know that this slightly bitter whiskey drink is worthy of any gentle man or woman.

Is Ethan Hawke Italian? A Gentleman?

Don’t know.

I do know that This One Goes Out To Ethan Hawke. I’d bet he would like to listen to this folksy, sweet song while sipping a cool beverage.

Check out Sydney Wayser on her Website where you can buy the music.

Cheers!
