Monday. Already?

The weekend passed in a blur. Followed by another blur. Just the way I like it.


Saturday was full of French 75s (made in beautiful vintage shakers)

French 75


20ml gin
10ml lemon juice
5ml sugar syrup


Shake the above, strain and top with champagne.


Too much of a good thing made Broken Down Doll want more of a good thing...so Saturday's excess was cured by Sunday's Bloody Marias.

Bloody Maria


50ml tequila (reposado)
150-200ml tomato juice
15ml lime juice
4 dashes Tabasco
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
pinch salt and pepper


Multiply the measures by the number of dolls and guys still standing or recently roused, add plenty of ice, stir, serve, repeat.
