Double Bridge Weekend
This weekend's theme was restoration. Friday night @cocktailspirit and I went to a yoga class, which was exactly what I needed after my busy week.

Booze You Can Use

It's called Look Both Ways, and it's Tanqueray gin, lime, Chartreuse, and a float of Cote de Rhone. Sounds odd, but tastes amazing. Second of all, a big mazel to Abigail Gullo and Karen Fu
