It's another sad week here in the world. The horrible attack in Nice yesterday hit home for me, as I was in the south of France on Bastille Day last year. My heart and thoughts are with the city and the victims.
A Drink
It is HOT here in the Northeast, with the kind of humidity that steams up the windows and creates a halo of wispy hair around my head. To help keep cool, I'm sharing a cocktail that's low alcohol and refreshing. Dare I say it's also hydrating? You can get the recipe below.
And Things
I finally stopped buying cheap sunglasses from the pharmacy and sprung for a pair of Warby Parkers. The name of the color of the frames sold me instantly: Himalayan Salt.
In other news in things pink, I'm declaring this the rosé of the season.
Love Hemingway? Me, too. I'm dying to read this book.
The Recipe
Vermouth and Soda with Lemon
Makes 1 drink
2 ounces sweet vermouth
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
4 ounces soda water
Ice
In a collins-type glass, mix together the vermouth and lemon juice. Fill the glass with ice and top with soda. Enjoy.
