Today is National Name Your Poison Day.
As described on many websites, “… National Name Your Poison Day is observed each year on June 8. Over the years, bartenders have been known to use the phrase, “name your poison,” when asking patrons what they would like to drink. This observation celebrates that phrase and is a day to commemorates making a choice or a decision.“
As per usual, mine is Bombay Sapphire – Gin so good, you wished you were embalmed in it. Drink enough and you will be. Apparently you will become quite artistic and see lots of things once you drink enough Bombay Sapphire.
Before I forgot , today is the 16th World Gin Day as well – started by Neil Houston and Emma Stokes in 2009, always celebrated on the second Saturday in June, (National Martini Day is coming up on Thursday, June 19, a few days after Father’s Day – I will just have to pace myself!).
I wait patiently by the phone for confirmation that I have become the new spokesperson for Bombay Sapphire.
Remember – A perfect martini should be made by filling a glass with gin then waving it in the general direction of Italy (or Paris – pick your poison.)
(As always, please celebrate responsibly.)
