I wanted to get this posted before it makes no sense at all to have posts up of me in a dress when it's so cold out. Last month, Brian and I decided to have a date in the park and have a picnic. Being the bougie guy he is, Brian packed his mini cocktail kit and everything else he needed to make a Manhattan for himself. I must say, Brian makes a great Manhattan and I thought it would be a fun idea if I got him to share his recipe today.

Big thanks to Brian for helping me write this post. And for you, readers, what are some of your favorite cocktails?
Such a classy cocktail!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! I haven't had a picnic in ages - I need to schedule one!
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun little kit to bring to a picnic! :) Looks like a lovely way to spend an afternoon too, it's been a few months since I had a picnic, I need to plan one now that it's warmer.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a lovely weekend! We are having a quiet one as it's too hot to be outside while we're sick - dealing with sick toddlers!

Love the cocktail shaker kit - so cute! I personally love Moscow mules and French 75s!
ReplyDeleteHow had I never heard about this cocktail before? It's so quick and easy to make! The cocktail kit is so cute, and super handy for picnics or to take to a friends' dinner!

How fun! Picnic season just ended around here - it is now officially almost cold - but I love picknicking in the spring and early summer, before it gets sweltering hot!
