Aperitifs

The SF Chronicle's SFGate.com has a great article on traditional aperitifs, including Lillet, Campari, vermouth, and pastis. I have almost all of them in stock and will have to give them a try soon. (Vermouth on the rocks is going to be terrible.)

I haven't been able to experiment with too many new drinks lately because it's holiday party season and I have to go where I'm told. I have nine events to attend in the upcoming two weeks, and most of them are not in fancy ultralounges with drink menus for me to review. That's probably for the best though. I can't afford nine days of ten-dollars cocktails.
