in addition to our farm stay, i wanted to acknowledge all of the other little things surrounding the (september 4th) occasion.
on the 3rd, dan came home to a surprise gift from rocco and hobbes:
******************************//components (clockwise left to right)://**********************
stainless steel jigger, complete with star wars wookiee and glitter star stickers, acquired by dan in college. measures 1 1/2 oz and 3/4 oz. handy little thing.
stainless steel cocktail shaker, received as a wedding present. yet to be used.
25 oz. bottle of pure single malt scotch whisky aged 21 years, from the glenlivet archive, received by dan before moving to oregon from his crews at mariani landscape. brought out on special occasions, this gem is ONLY served neat.
boord's london -inspired- dry gin, served as a modified tom collins: gin, tom collin's mix, lime wedge. we don't mess around. fancy recipes are for fancy people. another favorite cocktail is gin & tonic.
smirnoff triple distilled black cherry vodka, a central component of my "cost plus closer cocktail." served in two shots with world market italian raspberry soda on the rocks. warning: be careful with consumption; it tastes like kool-aid.
good ol' jack daniel's sour mash whiskey, from the famous (and over-used) tennessee distillery. this old no. 7 brand is cheap and therefore served with (diet) coke on the rocks. far from creative yet serves up a satisfying buzz.
addtionally, shot glasses from cost plus & black semi-old fashions from target (replacing sipping liquor glasses when this photo was taken.)
