Only Buying Cheap Gin ~ A Friendship Warning

She has watched good people serve harsh gin to guests they claimed to like and never fully recovered from it. The bottle does not have to be expensive. It just has to be chosen with the same care as the guest list. Her circle has learned this the gentle way, over many better martinis.

• For the Honest One: The friend who says what everyone was thinking about the bottle.
• When It Lands: A housewarming, when the host unveils a bar cart that needs guidance.
• Gift Note: For the person who raised your standards and your grocery bill.

Cocktail Threads made this round ornament for the tree that stands beside the bar cart. Pick ceramic at 3 inches or aluminum at 3.6 inches, and it arrives with its hanging string. A wipe with a damp cloth keeps it ready for the next round.
