A Martini or Gibson cocktail recipe for Christmas maybe?

Claudia

Good morning, All. ’tis the Tuesday before Christmas.  David and I had intend to publish the 3rd part of  David’s The Robot Apocalypse today, yet, overseas travel on his part and pre-holiday break work stress on my part kind of threw a monkey wrench into our plans. Oh well, part 3 will definitely be online next Tuesday and should you have missed the first two parts – here they are: Part #1 and Part #2.

As previously I will be linking with Elizabeth & Bleubeard at AlteredBooklover and with Les for her Coffee Chat, even though one or both may already be on a Christmas break. I will find out.

To stay true to the RobotApocalypse I am sharing with you today a recipe, to be precise a cocktail recipe and, of course, photos of it.

At my office’s Christmas party we always have a ‘yankee swap’ where you could end up with anything from totally awesome to absolutely useful, but the best part is the fun of it all. This year, I got lucky and ended up with a set of colored glasses, which I really liked. They could be used for any cold drink e.g. water, soda juice or, in this case here, a cocktail.

This is a very easy, but somewhat strong cocktail, a Martini or Gibson, in my case – dry. The recipe is so easy, it is hardly worth noting, but here we go.
