History lesson and drink recipe for Friday the 13th

Welcome to the first of three Friday the 13ths this year!*  To mark the occasion, I present both a quick history lesson and a funny drink recipe.

First, the history lesson from Life Noggin, which answers the question Why Is Friday The 13th Unlucky?


Follow over the fold for the drink recipe, which is not from Tipsy Bartender--for once!

The Super Tenders offer a recipe for a Valentine's Day Meets Friday the 13th Drink.

What do you get when you cross Valentine's Day with Friday the Thirteenth? You get a fabulous new drink called The Black Cat with spot on instructions about how to make this Sweet but Tart drink for your favorite Valentine!
Please let us know what you think of The Black Cat!
How to Make a Black Cat:
Into a Tall Iced Glass Add:
1 oz Vodka
1 oz Cherry Brandy
Fill the glass half way with cranberry juice. Then stir the mixture up and fill the glass the rest of the way with Coke.
Don't forget to garnish with a delicious maraschino cherry!

Skyy and Inna they're not, but they are funny.

*The others will fall on March 13th and November 13th, just two weeks after Halloween.  Spooky!
