nuts & berries (to the tune of "love & Marriage")

We have a dear friend who was born in Austria. In our years of friendship, we have known our “bear” to be serious yet deadpan funny.

He, too, loved a tipple mostly centered around wine. One night, however, we went out to dinner and did not want the night to end. Our waiter suggested an after-dinner drink he called nuts and berries. We agreed to try it and ordered a round.

The drink itself was simple. It consisted of half Chambord and half Frangelico giving us a taste of, obviously, nuts and berries. I am sure it was the festive nature of the night but imagine our surprise when our bear broke out into song. He was attempting to sing Love and Marriage, but changed the words to Nuts and Berries.

It is now a tradition to sing his version of the song every time we break out the Chambord and Frangelico. Good times!
