You won’t find a lot of fancy cocktails here. We both prefer the basics. Perhaps the occasional Old Fashioned or Manhattan. More often than not, you’ll find us with a straight-up Scotch or Bourbon Whiskey, especially in the winter. As the weather warms, which, as you may know, can take a while in the Pacific Northwest, it’s time to break out the Gin and Tonic and Margaritas. For Steven, a Bombay Sapphire Martini up with olives, very dry (just pass the bottle of vermouth over the glass and call it good) is a sure bet year-round. The slightest of celebrations, calls for a glass (or 3) of champagne.
Of course, few things go better with food than a good wine – any time of year! – so we’ll have quite a bit to say about wine in the articles below as well as our aforementioned favorites.
Cheers!
