The Tom Collins

Modified from the original, we decided to add fresh fruit thus creating a raspberry/blueberry Tom Collins.
1 handful of berries
1 oz simple syrup
1 oz lemon juice
3 oz gin
Muddle the fruit in a tall glass with lemon juice and simple syrup. Add gin, ice cubes and top wth soda water. Stir till mixed.

Happy July 4th!

today's preferred drink; the Negroni.

1 oz gin
1 oz sweet vermouth
1 oz Campari® bitters
Stir with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass 3/4 filled with cracked ice. Add a splash of soda water if desired. Garnish with a half slice of orange.

The Bonnie Parker Dress

Okay, maybe not an actual Bonnie Parker dress but I did make it from a sewing pattern from the 1930's. It's the bees knees.

Late night cocktails and electric tea lights...

a mixed blessing.










use liquor wisely.
