The bar team at the Candlelight Club excelled themselves last weekend for our 8th birthday party. The cocktail menu had a birthday theme, and I feel compelled to share this image with you. It
’s a drink called Don
’t Blow Them All Out: the liquid is mostly gin and strawberry purée, lengthened with soda, but the cupcake-style piped-icing garnish is inspired. (How you actually consume it is a separate matter—I drank mine through the straw then found that by the time I
’d done this the garnish/topping was now nestling at the bottom of the glass and you
’d need a long spoon to eat it, but that is just nit-picking.)
