I've had the loveliest of evenings. The darling boyfriend and I have spent it lounging in the kitchen, a kitchen I've begun to autumize (and de-halloween). We've been listening to Dean Martin blaring out of the speakers, playing gin rummy, noshing on rosemary crackers schmeared with port soaked sharp cheddar & sipping on these lovely pear martinis. A cocktail truly infused with the taste of autumn. It's as if the season hopped in glass, just for you to ingest and enjoy. A little sour, a bit sweet, with a serious punch of pear. Pear vodka is violently jiggled in a shaker filled with ice topped with pure pear juice, and a splash of lemonade. So simple. So good.
So why not shake up a batch of tasty cocktails and create a lovely evening at home for yourself, or a few friends? Break out a tasty snack, a deck of cards (perhaps a board game or two), put on a few of your favorite songs and settle in.
Cheers!
