And, as it is the month of June and Father's Day is just around the corner, our cocktails this week are cocktails every guy should know how to make (at least according to this).

And in keeping in theme with Brit Week...

I have a friend in the MSW program that was born and reared in Great Britain. I got to hear some of his stories from his childhood and learned a little bit more about Britain (like, the flag is called "union jack"). Here are some more fun facts I learned from him regarding a proper tea...a few tips from a Brit, if you will. 

- High tea should be served at 4pm.

- Cream tea is a hot tea (a black tea - breakfast blend or earl grey) with milk. 

- Tea is served with a confectionary (a biscuit or scone served with a dollop of jam and clotted cream).

- Cucumber and butter sandwiches, with no crusts, are served with this delicious tea.
