Turns out I miscalculated: We'll be having some mojitos, and maybe a glass or two of Sauvignon Blanc with a pesto pizza for dinner.Last night it was a couple of good-sized Martinis... Beefeater to be precise, which I know is not the fancy gin but has also fit perfectly in a cold, very dry Martini. Tonight might be dry Manhattans, Woodford Reserve, we'll see.
