Vintage Drinking on Edisto Island
Aug/13/2009 21:37
The weather was great. The ocean water
temperature was perfect. The tides were well
timed for morning and evening kayak trips into
the marsh. And David made us classic cocktails
all week.
Sunday:
Negroni, Evans Cocktail
Monday:
Gin & Tonic, Josette Cocktail
Tuesday:
Dandy, Marguerita, Gin & Tonic (Fever Tree Tonic Water), Baranquilla Green Jade
Wednesday:
Ford Cocktail, Lucien Gaudin
Thursday:
Marguerita, Gin & Tonic, Vodka Tonic, 20th Century, Brandy Alexander
Friday:
Grande Bretaigne
Saturday:
David left so Lutz and I slummed with plain old vodka and plain old Tonic
Some drinks were very exotic with interesting combinations of liquors and liquers. I had no real favorite - I enjoyed every one that I drank.
Some other highlights:

Movie - 28 Days Later (zombies!)
TV - Mad Men, Flight of the Conchords, The Guild, and Shark Week on the Discovery Channel
I missed Eagle vs Shark and The Thin Man
- Susan swimming with us in the ocean fully clothed including large Andie McDowell style hat
- We took our usual 3 hour walking trip to
Jeremy's Inlet - a place that is supposed to be
rich in fossils. I did find a couple
- Fried Chicken, sweet corn, shrimp,
flounder, crabs that we caught, blackberry
cobbler, smoked chicken salad, fruits and
vegetables from George & Pink's
- Dinner at Whaley's a new pub/restaurant
that used to be a gas station and little store.
- I won a Scrabble game!
- Cocktails at Ingrid and Tom's
- Kayaking in the dark - last time I was too chicken to try. I was only mildly afraid of the zombie alligator that I knew was out there somewhere.
