Operation Bathtub Gin complete!
Aug. 24th, 2007 09:16 pmOne empty Martini & Rossi Vermouth bottle
Approx. 1/3 of a fifth of Smirnoff
One empty teabag
Some dried, pulverized juniper berries
Juniper goes in teabag. Teabag goes in bottle. Vodka goes in bottle. Let sit for a while. Taste it until it tastes good.
Dried juniper berries have a spicier taste than the fresh ones used in real gin, so it has a bit of a peppery kick after it goes down. I like it.
For the wedding I want to buy an actual bathtub, one of those footy deals, and make some more of this in there, with $5 vodka. (Have I mentioned in these pages the plan to have the wedding be set in the very early 1930s, with the reception in a basement done to be a speakeasy, and when Justin and I are ready to run out and hop the train to NYC, we'll give a prearranged signal to his brother, who will lead a group of "G-men" in to "raid the speak" and arrest Justin and I and trundle us into the back of a Model A to carry us down to the [train] station? Because that will be the best wedding EVER.)
