drinks & tip of the week - episode 8

HELLO ALL! Here are the tips 'o' the week:

Drink of the week: Cointreau a-go-go.....

1 oz Cointreau

3/4 oz Cognac

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

dash Angostura bitters

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add all the ingredients. Shake vigorously to blend.
Strain the mixture into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a thin lemon slice on the side of the glass. Variation: Replace the lemon juice with lime juice and prepare the glass with a sugar rim.

Tip of the week: Use magazines for design inspiration!

There are so many great design magazines...buy some and start tearing out the pages...perhaps you like a color, or a lamp, or a piece of art, or the whole room and you don't know why...tear it out and save it! Also pull out images of what you DON'T like - it is equally important to be able to identify your dislikes........

There you have it! Have a great 4th of July holiday weekend!
