Tip Your Local Bartender ~ Ornament

Tip Your Local Bartender ~ She Lives Down the Hall

The local bartender in this case is a friend with a well-stocked cart and a generous pour, and her tips come in the form of fresh limes, good gossip and help with the dishes. Payment is accepted in citrus. Gratitude is accepted in return visits.

• Who Deserves It: The friend who has made your drinks for years without once asking for anything.
• When It Shows: A guest arriving with a sack of lemons as the house currency.
• Gift Logic: For the home bartender whose tip jar is a fruit bowl.

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.
