As part of their annual Solstice celebration, the beautiful Forest Hills Cemetery asked LUPEC to serve up a drink of our choice to some odd 250+ attendees. In honor of a Forest Hills “permanent resident”, Lucy Stone, we made Stone Rickeys, and [...]

by Pink Gin The thing that we at LUPEC Boston have to love about Kingsley Amis is that he wrote a regular drinks column just like we do.
