Here they are: my four new stemless wine glasses from Crate & Barrel. I’m so excited. It’s been six months since three-fourths of my other stemless wine glasses broke, so it’s about time I got some new ones. I’ve been imbibing from old Bonne Maman jam jars, and while that’s charming, I have to consider my sex appeal.
Since wine and such is so expensive, I’m going to inaugurate these glasses with a goddamn delicious non-alcoholic beverage. It’s fizzy, it’s light, it’s refreshing, and it’s a hell of a lot better than nothing.
Fizzies (makes one)
Ingredients:
6 ounces seltzer water
6 ounces fruit juice (my favorites are pomegranate and lemonade)
3 ice cubes
3 mint leaves
(For an added treat, chill glasses in the fucking freezer for an hour beforehand!)
Note: If you for some weird reason have fucking raspberry juice, try using thyme instead of mint. It’s a truly awesome combination.
Place ice cubes in glasses. Pour juice over ice, and add the mint leaves. Muddle the shit out of it. Top it off with the seltzer. Serve.
I took the liberty of producing a version of this post suitable for, you know, decent God-fearing folks:
