It’s Movember! You know, the month previously known as November, where man grow mustaches to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues. If you don’t know about Movember, I urge you to visit the website where you will find valuable information on the goals of this event.
I am participating in this year’s campaign, trying to amass as much money as I can by growing an awesome ‘stache. I usually proudly wear a full beard, and shaving on Movember 1st was difficult. But it’s for a good cause and I gladly did it for my Fathers, Brothers, Friends and myself. Nobody is safe from cancer.
For the occasion, I’ve created the following cocktail which is at the same time my 19th martini of the marathon. This manly drink explodes with flavors and will, for sure, make your facial hair grow faster (works on man only! 😉 ). Try it, and if you liked it, please make a contribution to the cause. Any sized donation is welcomed and greatly appreciated! Visit my mo-space on the Movember site and hit the “donate to me” button. On behalf of all men, I thank you very much! 😀
