A Proper Bartender Would Never ~ Ornament

A Proper Bartender Would Never ~ And She Is Proper

Never shake a martini, never serve a warm glass, never let a guest pour their own second round. The list is long and she keeps it in her head like a catechism. Her friends test her sometimes, just to watch her not flinch.

• Who Lives By It: The host whose standards are the house style.
• The Scene: A party where someone asks for ice in their wine and she handles it with grace and a different glass.
• Gift Pick: For the one who does it right even when nobody is watching.

Tie it to a bottle neck and the hostess gift is done. This round ornament comes in ceramic at 3 inches or aluminum at 3.6 inches with its own string, and a damp cloth keeps it bright.
