Forbes Traveler just posted a list of signature drinks from around the world. Boring and typical, at best.
They missed one of my favorites: Becherovka
On my summer holiday to the Czech Republic, the name of this drink, affectionately nicknamed the "Christmas Drink" by locals, was on bar chalkboards across Prague. Produced in Karlovy Vary, this sacred concoction — only two people know the recipe — varies in palates, and by company experimentation, changed flavor during creation in off-site locations. While with my Czech friends, they commented how the female gender typically enjoys the spirit more than males. Becherovka has plenty of options in mixed libations, but traditionally should be stored in the freezer and served extremely chilled. Drinking straight, there are subtle hints of gingerbread and perhaps cinnamon when it first hits your taste buds. As the "medicine" trickles down your tongue, a strong essence of pine (think actually licking a pine tree) hits as an aftertaste. Mmmm, Christmas in a bottle.

This blog is about pursuit: a transplanted Clevelander (me) in a new city (that's you, Pittsburgh!), pursuing the role of a self-employed copywriter, becoming a roller derby badass and somehow merging all my to-do items into one ever-growing Bucket List.
And of MY boyfriend. His blue balls started this mess.
