The Frosty Plymouth Gin & Tonic

From David Rosengarten
makes one gin & tonic

four Schweppes Tonic Water Ice Cubes (see NOTE)
3 ounces Plymouth Gin
4 ounces Schweppes Tonic Water
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
lime wedge for garnish

1. Place the ice cubes in a tall, narrow, chilled glass (the cubes should come near the top.) Add the gin, then the tonic water, then the lime juice, stirring well. Garnish with lime wedge, and serve immediately. White dinner jacket is optional.

NOTE: To make the ice cubes, simply fill an empty ice cube tray with Schweppes Tonic Water, and let the cubes freeze. It takes just a few hours. Covered well, the cubes will remain fresh-tasting in the freezer for at least a few weeks.

Face Paint and Sprinklers

Yes, it was a big weekend around here. When we got back from Sunriver, our sprinklers were almost done. We went off to the Salem Art Fair while Romeo the sprinkler man finished up, and when we got home, voila! Beautiful sprinklers, and Aidan's facepaint still intact.
