Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. It’s the oldest saying in the book, yet still so relevant! Probably even more relevant in the world we live in today where we’re constantly battling stereotypes for gender, race and sexual orientation.
Recently someone told Katie “wow, she doesn’t look gay at all” (about me) and Katie had to school them. 😝It’s like… what does “look gay” even mean? Why do you have to look a certain way to get people to believe you’re gay!? Just because I don’t fit the mold of what people view as a lesbian, doesn’t mean I am any less gay.
Sorry minor rant.. But I’m making a point here! 😬
My point is that it can also apply to something as surface level as the type of alcohol one “should” drink. Just cause I am a feminine woman means I don’t “fit the part” for scotch drinkers. Yet one of my main drinking habits is to come home after work and pour scotch/whiskey/bourbon on a large ice cube (even sans sugar)! Some might consider this “manly,” I just call it Tuesday. 🤷🏼♀️🥃#badass
I love how simple yet rewarding scotch on the rocks is. I feel accomplished, like a badass woman sitting on the couch drinking my Glenlivet after a long day. I love having something to sip on slowly, as the ice melts the drink naturally becomes sweeter and more palatable. For me, it’s the ultimate “you deserve this” drink. Well, that and sometimes I’m just too lazy to make anything fancier haha. Like I said …. long day at work.
Full disclosure, The Glenlivet approached me for a collaboration but it felt more than natural to accept because I’m so passionate about their “Make No Assumptions” campaign. Who says old white men have to be the main consumers of scotch whiskey?! It’s time we repaint that picture! 💯
So cheers to women… And scotch whiskey. And to women who drink scotch whiskey!! The Glenlivet has a permanent place on my bar cart and I’m already counting down the seconds until 5pm when I can pour one out.
