Cocktail hour resumes and the weeks roll on

 






So after a little break for the Easter weekend, cocktail hour resumed at The Maison.

There was a four day week, but it felt like 40! I'm still struggling with the cough left over from covid and its becoming  a tad wearing now. Lack of sleep caused by constant coughing at night  means that I am more tired than normal.

Dratted covid!!!!

Fingers crossed I buck up soon, if only because its a matter of weeks to my holiday!

Friday came and  cocktail of the week was


The Godmother


Vodka

Ameretto 

Lots of ice.

Put ice in to a shaker and add the vodka and ameretto. Shake and strain over more ice in a tumbler.

Served with a platter of Antipasti ( well nearly).


And another week began, a trip to the Docs  for a full MOT means that I am still awaiting results!

However before I knew it , it was Friday and choice of cocktails was 







Brandy Manhatten.


Brandy

Sweet Vermouth

Orange bitters


All shaken with ice, strained and served over frozen grapes.

This really was exceptional and I had another just to make sure it was that good!


We are now heading to a bank holiday weekend  so lots to look forward to.

Have a great week
