4 sliced strawberries
crushed ice

There’s something about that long, lean, stretched-hourglass figure that’s often featured in vintage ads for champagne. Tattinger used it (”it” being Grace Kelly) in one of their pieces, and here we have two by Poto Leifi for a company (that may be fictional, because I can’t find any info on it) called Golden Sable.
You might […]

This is pretty cool! Anthony from Art of The Drink has posted a video showing you how to make the drink “Nutty Irishman”.
I really love the way he teaches, but the coolest part is that he’s holding a contest! He asks you a question, and you email him your answers and you’re entered in […]

I really wish I could handle the flavor of Sambuca, but despite my Italian roots, I just can’t handle Anisette. I know, it’s strange, and likely what confirms to anyone suspicious that I’m not 100% Italian.

Thanks to TheBar.com for the recipe and image for this yummy looking Royal Stretch!
