Blair! How are you?
You left a comment answering my question about making my own liqueurs, but I went back to check it and now I can’t remember where I posted! Haha! Care to enlighten me again?
Thanks in advance!
Ginty,
You might track down a book called, “Luscious Liqueurs: 50 Recipes for Sublime and Spirited Infusions to Sip and Savor” by A. J. Rathbun. It’s a great starting place and can easily find copies for sale online.
Cheers!

Excellent! Thanks so much. Now starts the adventure!
Blair, you are awesome on a lot of levels.
Hello Blair! I’ve encountered your comments on many a cocktail blog and figured I should say hello. That glass in your photo is quite nice; looks like an Aviation to me, but I suppose it could be any drink of a light bluish hue. I have a glass quite like that one, as in this photo of the Chrysanthemum Cocktail, which I highly recommend: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aphonik/7154991402/in/photostream. It’s amazing what kinds of glassware you can find at Goodwill stores for 50 cents. Cheers! –Eric
