It was a dreary day here - high around 60 degrees F. but the wind made it feel much colder.
I missed last night's cocktail - first watched Auburn win the Southeastern Conference Championship and then went to dinner at the restaurant in our community. The host treated us to a great bottle of Pinot Noir and by the time we got home it was too late.
Tonight I chose a 'Hoffman House Cocktail' on page 97 of the Bartender's Guide.
3/4 oz Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
1 1/2 oz Gin (Booth's)
2 dashes Orange Bitters (Fee Bros)
Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass.
Serve with an olive.
Very good drink. It tasted like a somewhat mild martini, but tastier.
Enjoy!
