I’ve always been a wine drinker. .  I love a glass of wine with my food, or when I’m munching on appetizers or something. But my love for cocktails has grown over the years. I am always in awe of the work of bartenders and mixologists for their craft. Mixing up delicious and exciting concoctions and figuring out the exact measurements for everything, what would compliment certain cocktails ..  how to incorporate new, seasonal and exciting things. It’s amazing.

And when you have a great drink, you remember it.

    I had my best G&T at the ACLounge in Downtown Chicago. Added touch was rubbing the rim with the lemon rind. We just gave them a call to ask about the tonic. It was a cocktail to recall fondly and try to duplicate!
