I don’t inhale (didn’t Bill Clinton absolve himself with that line at some point)?
Anyway, when your crew are floating around, you need to play high post. A benchmark Cuban gets the job done.

Fig paste and bitter cocoa give way to expresso notes and judicious sweetness. Excellent presentation, just requires a touch more density. Otherwise, rock n roll right here. — 14 days ago
