left bank


photo cred: thisrecording.com
people have been asking about this drink lately and for the record it is not my style- but i appreciate it's appeal. It's already august 20th and the earth is preparing for that amazing nostalgia inducing wind down- that i would nervously notice as kid (back to school!) and now laud as an adult (yay fall!) You can feel it happening.

Any hoot. the left bank is the paris that woody allen waxed poetic about in his most recent (aptly named movie) _Midnight in Paris_ It's the Paris of artists & writers, the Paris that makes people swoon & maybe- buy too many striped shirts..

You have two choices with this one. You may incorporate sauvignon blanc or a bianco vermouth. it's entirely your call.
GIn, St- germaine, sauv blanc of bianco

1.5 ounces of gin
1 0unce st germaine
.5 ounce of sauv blanc.

shake, stir & strain into a martini glass.

tweak and play with the amounts- whatever suits you best. just keep it to one and a half parts gin as a standard.
