This afternoon I started replacing the tile on a table we have on our porch. Of course the table wasn't square, so it was interesting trying to cut and lay out the tile.
I was sure glad when 5 o'clock arrived. It was very humid today.
Tonight I chose a 'Merry Widow Cocktail No. 1' (page No. 121)
1 1/4 oz Gin
1 1/4 oz Dry Vermouth
1/2 teaspoon Benedictine
1/2 teaspoon Absinthe (instead of Absinthe Substitute)
1 dash Orange Bitters
Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Add a twist of lemon peel.
This was a very presentable cocktail. It tasted like a cocktail you would have before dinner. We enjoyed it. The amount of Absinthe was just perfect. As usual, I forgot the lemon twist!
Enjoy
