Good evening pals and gals!
Tonight’s post is about drankin. It is Thirsty Thursday after all!
While I’ve definitely consumed my share of wine out of an old coffee mug, vodka straight out of the bottle (sorry mom, sorry dad), and have only nearly escaped botulism from less than hygienic plastic keg cups, in my more advanced age I have started to truly appreciate the ritual of a nice presentation for my beverages!
Thus, in the spirit of fancy barware, celebrating at fancy restaurants, and making cheap booze or other beverages more fancy in general, a bev montage:
 |
| This past Christmas. Dig my parents classy goblets! |
 |
| sake from beautiful stoneware at a Thai restaurant. |
 |
| Hollywood Blonde overlooking Venice Beach |
 |
Champagne in a mini bottle. The day I learned what
a champagne “split” is. |
 |
| My favorite mug! I’m not only talking booze here, people… |
 |
| white wine flight in lowball glasses |
 |
| Favorite beer glasses- this beer was not worth the glasses, but they helped! |
 |
| Fancy espresso at mom and dads’ house. I love their mugs. |
 |
| Frankly, I’d drink champagne out of anything, but my friends’ glasses are so pretty! |
 |
CERTAINLY this junk was not worth my favorite (handled)
shot glasses from Madrid with the flamenco dancers and
bullfighters. But again, the presentation helps with cheap crap… |
 |
| Mismatched stems? Why not, I said I would drink champagne from anything! |
 |
| I like beer in a glass so I can see the bubbles and have fun pouring |
 |
I use these for smoothies and soft serve, since I don’t like Irish creme.
But who doesn’t like drinking something with their name on it? |
So there you have it. Wow, now I’m kind of thirsty. Perhaps I will dig out some of that huge box of booze I showed you guys a few weeks ago and pour it into something fancy!
Do you make an effort with presentation and using the right type of glass with your beverages? Or do you just grab the first thing that will hold the right amount of liquid?
What do you like to drink? Ever order anything just because of how it looked? Yeah, me too 🙂
Cheers!
