Caribbean Dinner Party Ideas

September 25, 2007

  • granulated sugar
  • 2 fl oz citrus vodka
  • 1 tablespoon triple sec

Coat the rim with sugar. Chill the glass. Pour into a shaker 2/3 full of ice. Shake well (or stir). Strain.

Uh, not too “Middle Eastern”, as far as dinner party ideas go, but neither is this

Found this fellow while reading about Seth Godin and typepad, but that’s not for this blog.

His site is phenomenal for a number of reasons – first of which is his crazy cool firepits.

The second is that your dinner party would go great with stuff like this. I know that ours would.
