Cocktails at Babington House

April 1, 2011 by Helena Halme 4 Comments

After a highly successful Babington book club on Wednesday someone (I think it might have been me…) decided it’d be a really good idea to finish the evening off with a round (or two) of cocktails.

And so the night rapidly turned into the kind where you have a full and meaningful conversation with the lovely mixer of cocktails (Greg), about which you remember very little the next morning.

Lucky, then, that I had the presence of mind to take a few pictures. I took these on my iPhone and without a flash so I’m afraid the quality isn’t that great. (And that’s nothing to do with the cocktails…)

The Englishman chose an Old-fashioned made with….
Bourbon.

Greg presenting me with my choice: an Appeltini mixed with…

Local cider brandy

 I blame Greg for my headache the next morning…

    Cocktails are lethal. Every now and then, I think its a good idea. Bad Idea.
    It's a lot of fun though, especially if you have a good maker. I'm sure it'll be the only maker I meet.

    I'm typing very softly – hope your head feels better soon. If not, maybe you could recommend Greg to the French Foreign Legion! :)))
