End-of-the-World Whiskey Sours
  • Serves 2
Author Notes

Every now and then someone declares that The End of the World is about to happen and I take it as an opportunity to bake a pie. You know, just in case…

So on the eve of the possible End of the World the two of us ate a whole take-out pizza, half of a cherry pie and many of these Whiskey Sours.

The End of the World didn’t happen, of course, but we still had a great time.

You know, just in case…

Someone once said, "the wise man knows that he knows nothing at all." Therefore if I spend my days seeking knowledge than I am simply trying to be a better fool. Hopefully I will eat well along the way.

Or perhaps we have the makings of a Food52 Meet-Up theme? Frankly I can't think of a better way to spend Armageddon than with a bunch of fellow foodies, lobster, pie and whiskey.

Have they done this as a contest theme yet? Your Best End-of-the-World dish? I can't remember, but if not, that could be a lot of fun...
