Now that we know what you like to cook and eat, what do you drink? Favorite cocktail?

Violet - Definitely the Aviation. Cool, refreshing, lemony, earthy, gin-ny. Add a splash of Creme Yvette and I'm a puddle.

Aviation: Gin, Maraschino, lemon juice, a bit of Creme Yvette. Served UP.

Rye - I love a Manhattan, I love a Martini, I love an old fashioned, I love a Hemingway daiquiri. But fuck, you just can't beat the Negroni. And flame that orange peel!

Negroni: Gin, Campari, sweet vermouth. Orange peel (some add an orange slice, but I don't need it). Served on the rocks.
