description:
Not your standard Valentine's Day mix. This would be one inspired by a (or soon to be) Ex-Valentine. So, if you don't have a Valentine this time around, you can always listen to my mix and think back on any prior Valentine's that have come and gone (also a perfect time to pour some whiskey on the rocks).
