To celebrate the return of electricity. All my remaining lemons & limes were lost to mold and I've not restocked yet, so something different. As close as I could get to Chancellor #2.
1.5 oz whiskey
1 oz tawny port
.5 oz Amaro Toscana
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Absinthe rinsed frozen coupe
Stir all ingredients with ice, pour into the glass.
A little sweeter and heavier than my ideal, obviously, but a nice aperitif, the flavors are good though. Not completely sure about the Toscana, close but maybe Amaro Nonino if I try it again. I never seem to have vermouth.
Real answer?
Don't fight the pelican. The law is on their side, for one thing.
No I don't think you could hold it away from you without hurting it or you. No I don't think it has any intention of harming you, unless you are a fish. Walk on by, it will either just sit there or fly away.
