Beautiful oilcloth on that table! Is it yours? (and thanks for the shout-out - I have been meaning to make that absinthe drink, but have been waiting for strawberries. Looks like it's finally the season.)
I'm about to break out the Polomas for the summer, but lately I've been enjoying the hell out of this twist on The Colonial:
Juice from half a grapefruit, red or yellow.
Juice from half a lime.
About a half tablespoon of honey or honey syrup (this is more to taste, so you can experiment with amount and with other sweet things).
6 or 8 dashes of bitters. Angostura is probably best.
A shot of gin.
Shake that baby up and you've got yourself something delicious AND healthy! There's like your whole day's vitamin C in there.
Enjoy!
Casey: I wish it was my tablecloth. This photo was shot at Ft. Defiance in Red Hook.
Mike: This sounds soo refreshing and I know I could make one, but could you and Jo come over so you can make it for me?? I will make snacks.
Wow, as a celery soda fan, that celery julep sounds amazing.
Nathan: Intriguing, right? I can see the celery syrup pairing really well with gin too.
Okay! Let's set it up! xo
Juleps with celery soda? I bet you could get a good one at Century Village. How about a Black Cherry-tini?
Hah, Dan you're just sad because you can't get down with the socks and sandals crew.
Nathan: Oh, he is!
