sunday, bloody martini, sunday

So, my mister (and many of our friends) appreciates a good Bloody Mary. I hate tomato juice and felt little left out so I started experimenting with The Breakfast of Champions: the Martini in efforts to start getting used to the taste of bloody mary mix.

The Classic Gin Martini:

2 parts Gin

1 part vermouth

The Vodka Martini:

2 parts vodka

1 part vermouth

The Sunday Bloody Martini Sunday:

1 part* bakon vodka

1 part gin

1 part vermouth

1 part bloody mary mix (or 2 parts depending on how tomato-y you feel that day)

2 green pimento olives

1 pickled asparagus

Put all liquids into the cocktail shaker with about 4 or 5 ice cubes. Next, shake it about 7 times and pour everything** into a glass. Then, garnish with olives and asparagus. Finally, sip and enjoy!

* In my case, 1 part equals a little less than 1 oz

**I include the ice cubes because it's a little strong without the melt off from the ice.

We had a great time at the Halloween party. I've decided not to make costumes on the day of the event! It worked out okay this time, but I probably gave myself a few more grey hairs.

Wine Stoppers

September was a busy month and I'm finally getting the chance catch up on blog posts!

Here are some of the finished wine (or oil & vinegar for the non drinkers) stoppers that Rebekka custom made for our wedding favors. They were perfect and it was so awesome to finally see the real thing after oogling over a sketch for so long.
