Gin paper plane is my favorite cocktail!
It’s perfect for many reasons:
1. Delicious
2. Common ingredients so you can almost always get it at a bar
3. everything is a 1 to 1 ratio so it’s easy to make at home and also batch
in fact, picture is from me experimenting to make a batch w/ mezcal and amaro camatti bc that’s what I have in the house! Classic recipe is:
¾ ounce bourbon
¾ ounce Aperol
¾ ounce Amaro Nonino
¾ ounce lemon juice
Shaken and strained

Tastes old-timey, is new-timey. Balances flavours beautifully. Recipe is easy to remember. Honestly just perfect

My best friend went through bartending school this past summer and introduced me to some of the most incredible gin drinks.
I realized that gin, which I previously regarded as piney and useless, was incredibly versatile. Gin can be lemony! Gin can be floral! Gin can be in a martini with giant stuffed olives!
Gin and honey! Gin and curry oil (you wouldn’t believe it until you tried it) Gin and orange!
Gin can be anything, and so can you!
This is all applicable to mocktails too, if you have access to a nice faux gin (I’m all about mocktails)
Wooooooooo!

I threw a dinner party last night and it was so much fun! It’s winter and it’s been pretty bleak, so I thought it be nice to have friends over. This was my first time hosting something completely solo and I thought it would be very stressful but it was smooth sailing and the night was merry and cute! For me this past year has really been about platonically putting myself out there and forging local friendships and last night felt like a cumulation of that effort :-) It wasn’t a super fancy meal, but still, very nice. It’s great to be invited but its also like sometimes you gotta make the magic happen

Intentionally putting on a special outfit for chilling really enhances the experience.

I’m sitting outside eating a spicy falafel wrap and fries in the best city (Philadelphia), the sun is shining, ambient music is being played directly into my eardrums, I’m texting friends, a child is playing and just leapt over me. I’m wishing everyone I talk to a happy new year :)
