Normalcy

Well, not normal, not yet. But things are getting more organized here at the Campbell household. Enough so that I can occassionally engage in my accustomed evening martini. And I believe I've found a new usual gin for my concoction: Not that 'buy American' is a correct economic policy, but craft-distilled, Philadelphia-based Bluecoat American Dry Gin has just the right combination of florals, citrus, and gin-ny flavor to give a martini zing and zest. (And it's also cheaper than most other gins). Of course, there's no substitute for oak-aged Noilly-Prat French Vermouth. 6-to-1, up, with a twist, please. Posted by netrc at March 3, 2009 02:56 PM
