Bombay white martinis, 3:1 with Dolin dry. Large Mezzetta olive. Shaken 38 times. Mmmmmm. Perfect accompaniment was black pepper Boursin on fairly plain crackers. Cold gin and spice have a natural affinity, as good as potato chips and Champagne.

Orange crush: vodka, triple sec (I used dry curaçao because I didn’t have any triple sec and I couldn’t find my Grand Marnier ) Fresh OJ and sprite, all over crushed ice in a Tervis tumbler. Very refreshing, and surprisingly potent.

Limoncello over ice because the bottle wasn’t in the fridge/freezer . TBH I like my own homemade limoncello and Limecello a lot more. But that means I have to make some.
