You've heard of "Starbucks-ization", right? Take something simple and cheap (cup of coffee for 50 cents), sexy it up (grande latte) and sell it for much, much more ($4.29). Well, I'm not necessarily for that, but I have to say the home bar has just gotten a serious, Starbucks-level upgrade.
It's canning season, boys and girls, and the household spent this week pickling garnishes for the home bar. Jalapenos for western-style martinis, Dilled green beans for bloody Marys, and pickled onions for the ol'fashioned Gibson. It's great to make fabulous drinks at home, but even better to garnish them with something other than the teeny olives out of the little jar. I'm telling you, those pickled onions swimming in gin bring tears to my eyes (and not because of the onion- they're very mellow pickled). Beautiful. Tasty. Homespun. Gin. Mmmmm.....
