Cocktails!!

You might read down below, in my previous post about my recent vacation, that I made some visits to some lovely nighttime beverage establishments. Some of my drinks proved to be inspirational- literally. Hence, a new love of beautiful drinks was born. I have always believed that a perfect beverage, be it tea or tonic, can cure any variety of mean reds, bygone blues, or sneezy flues.

So break out the shakers, citrus, and all manor of spirits and send me your favorite cocktail recipes! I want to build a book- ultimately- but mostly develop a portfolio and practice the art of the cocktail. Naturally, you will be included in the process- and if we're lucky, my lovely little shop will evolve into a lovely little cocktail lounge.



Should you find yourself lacking inspiration, might I suggest a trip to your local used book store to find an antique collection of cocktail recipes, the one pictured above never lets me down! Some other suggested reads include either of Dale Degroff's books, and this website.
