Savoring Memories: A Nostalgic Cocktail Journey Inspired by Mad Men

Savoring Memories: A Nostalgic Cocktail Journey Inspired by Mad Men

Step back in time to the glamour of the Mad Men era with a classic cocktail that holds a special place in your heart – just like your mother's drink. This recipe evokes an essence of refined indulgence, a reminder of days when savoring a proper cocktail before a dinner party was treasured. As you enjoy this libation on a rainy Saturday in Southeastern China, the process of making and sipping the cocktail becomes a poignant reminder of meaningful moments, as well as a chance to relax and relish life's simple pleasures. Join us on this sentimental journey of embracing nostalgia, honoring tradition, and cherishing the art of taking time to unwind and enjoy.

There is nothing like a Vodka Gimlet 

1 cup water

3 packets stevia

3 oz vodka

the juice of 6 limes

Heat limes in the microwavable for 1 min to bring out the juice.  Press the limes for all the juice.  If you are like us, you will take the pulp as well.  Fill a cocktail shaker with the juice and pulp, vodka, stevia, water and as many ice cubes as will fit.

Shake for a couple minutes.  Serve over ice or not.  The key is to rest, relax and enjoy!
