mbarrick | Christmas Cocktails

The cocktail party last night went very well. Quite a few people showed up and it got pretty crowded. I didn't get many pictures of all the guests enjoying themselves because I ended up too busy tending bar - the Bolivian Marching Martini was a big hit and I dare say I perfected the recipie - but those that I did are up on Gothic BC. I learned a few new cocktails such as the Tara O'Hara, which I found quite nice, and am itching to learn more. However, trying to pour absinthe after too much agwa prooved interesting and I'm surprised I managed not to set myself on fire. The kitchen floor looked a little like the bathroom floors in the old Twilight Zone this morning (OK, that's a huge exaggeration, but still, it was gross). On the plus side Elaine's mystery gift is coming in very handy today — it was a counter-top dishwasher. There are a lot of glasses to wash today. And I have to vacuum. I suppose I should get to it...
