We are in the midst of our 2nd Annual Memorial Day Getaway with Kitty and her fiance. (This trip has been planned much more in advance than our plans to sell our house, if that gives any indication to how well Duck and I ready ourselves for major life events...) Last year we were in Ogunquit, Maine. This year we are in another seaside town of Jamestown, Rhode Island, just adjacent to Newport.
We have been eating seafood and making cocktails, of course.
A "Jamestown"
Look how pretty this drink is! Kitty has made an old-fashioned of sorts, which comprises of: fresh mashed cherries, sugar, a splash of orange juice, a dash of bitters, and bourbon over ice. We have dubbed this drink "The Jamestown" in honor of our week here.
Meanwhile, I made this...
A Pink Mojito
It's a pink mojito, the pink courtesy also of two mashed cherries. There is no cherry flavor per se, so they're there for color really. Pretty, no?
I have finished my glass and now must refill.
How I love the summer. Cheers to you all!
