Christie made an interesting suggestion after I posted a rather long excerpt from a book about city planning: “Each time you post an edifying passage such as this, you must also post a new drink recipe.” Well, I can’t promise that I’ll always be able to do that. As luck would have it, though, my brother invented a new drink last Saturday. It’s called an orange truffle, and here’s how you make it: Mix half a shot of Godiva chocolate liqueur with half a shot of triple sec. Sip or shoot, depending on your preference. I should warn you that this drink is ungodly sweet, although everyone who tried it enjoyed it.

Your brother is a goddamn genius. He should be the one in graduate school.
I checked into this, and unfortunately, UC Berkeley does not offer advanced degrees in mixology. There’s always the major in fraternity studies, but it’s a little late for that.
That major is technically called “American Studies,” just to clarify.
