New York City may be our home base, but our hearts are always in Philly. For the holidays we packed the car to the brim and merrily made our way down South to see our friends and family. An “It’s a Wonderful Life” party. Christmas with Jackie’s folks and family. And a wonderful visit to our friends Allen and Susan’s (Lord Whimsy and Lady Pink Water’s) new home in Mt. Holly with a surprise visit from our dear friend Rob Wiess.
After a nice long visit we sped off to Philly for some delicious crepes at Beau Monde on 6th and Bainbridge we couldn’t resist a visit with our friends, George and Kip, at Southwark last night. As many of you know, they are preveyors of fine cocktails and delicious slow food. George proceeded to include us in on a Plymouth Gin only sold in the UK. Juniper berries, as you know, are the key ingredient in making a fine gin. This rare bottle tasted of the fresh berries, with a citrus overtone and smooth finish.
Thank you for sharing with us, George, and thanks for the heavy pours of Pink Ladies for my Girl Friday! When you have a chance be sure to give Southwark a look see. In my opinion, it is worth a trip to Philly just to give it a try!
