Corks + Caftans

Pack the tonic, Jeeves.

June 6, 2010 6 Comments

And you might as well put some spirits in it. And lime juice. And some bloody ice cubes, for Christ’s sake—reaaallly.

And that’s how you end up with a bottle of makeshift V&T’s in broad daylight on a Sah-turr-dee.

God save the Queen.

      hand-picked ones that would fit in the top, which was finger-numbing fun. Then in the heat of the midday sun, they conveniently got small enough to just slip out into the glass. Like we’d done it on purpose. Trust me, I was way more excited by this serendipitous meltage than should be healthy.
