After several months of weary transition and heavy work load, I needed some creativity in my life.
It was time to experiment with some cocktail mixing.
I purchased the book “Shake: A New Perspective on Cocktails” at a yuppie store that I like to judge yet would love to own half the things in that store. I almost bought the $36 mason jar cocktail shaker, which seems great and I reallllly wanted it, but I would rather make a DIY mason jar shaker by drilling holes in the top.
My friend and I looked through the book and since we are in the weird middle seasonĀ of winter-figuring-out-if-it-should-die-and-let-spring-come-forth, we thumbed through the winter and spring cocktails, considered which booze and ingredients we had at our homes, and came up with four.
This post is just me reporting on what we made and drank and what we thought of it.
