A Taste of Nostalgia

My family has endured it’s share of loss during the holidays this year. My grandfather joined my grandmother just before Christmas and is now looking down on us from above. Yes I’m a believer in heaven and an afterlife. And if I know anything about my grandfather, it is that he is looking down on us, with a gin and tonic in hand, smiling and waiting for us to be reunited once more. So for todays Tasty Tuesday, in honor of a man I loved and deeply respected, I’m toasting this Tuesday with his beverage of choice.

Gin and Tonic

Ice

2 fingers of Bombay Sapphire Gin (the man’s favorite gin)

Tonic Water

Lime (optional and never a preference of my grandfather’s)

Simple and yet refreshing recipe. Ready? Add ice to glass. Pour in about two fingers of gin. Fill remainder of glass with tonic. If you are opting for a squeeze of lime, add a wedge. Give a quick stir and enjoy!

Here’s to you Papa. May you continue to make great music, and save and gin and tonic for when we meet again.

Please stop by and see my fellow Tasty Tuesday partners in crime…
