Today's Menu: Honey, Grasshoppers, Snails & Whiskey

As you know, St. John lived on locusts and honey while preaching in the desert.

So, you should celebrate his birthday today with:

Honey-flavored whiskey

Honey-flavored beer, wine

Honey-flavored wine, brandy, port

And

The Grasshopper

2 oz. cream

¾ oz. green crème de menthe

1 oz. light crème de cacao

Pour all into a shaker filled with ice and shake 40 times.

Strain into a cocktail glass.

Oh! And eat some snails.  It is a Roman custom to eat snails on the Feast of John the Baptist.
