Go Saints!

Today's martini recipe:
Chill two glasses, martini shaker and a nice bourbon. To shaker add: crushed ice, chilled bourbon, a couple drops sweet vermouth, and wave the Angostura bitters nearby. Shake well. Pour into chilled glasses with skewered Maraschino cherry and dried fruits (fig, cherry, cranberry). Add Maraschino cherry juice to sweeten taste.

(This is called a bourbon martini, also a Sahara-dry Manhattan.)

Quite a Super Bowl party for you guys!! That recipe sounds like the good old "Old-fashioned" drink your Dad and I used to enjoy. Or the "Manhattan" cocktail all us Old-timers used to imbibe. Yum!

You have interesting glasses too--very festive as befitting that SUPER game.
