It's the three whiskey happy hour special gala July 4th edition

with your usual bartenders, me, John Yoo, and the International Woman of Mystery, Lucretia.

Well, it's the special July 4th edition of the Three Whiskey Happy Hour.

Brought to you, like Yankee Doodle Dandy, in a two-four time signature, with no rest between the measures, though.

More on that point in due course.
