We've seen Jake Gyllenhaal, Naomi and friends eat out so much recently that I've become not a little interested in their choice of restaurants. Last night, it was the turn of the Bombay Talkie in Chelsea, which, according to a WDW friend, has a rather sublime selection of cocktails. On Thursday lunchtime, Jake and Naomi lunched at the Morandi, which apparently serves 'casual Italian' fare that one feasts upon while squeezed into 'hobbit chairs'. I'm posting another picture from Thursday's lunch in order to satisfy the readers who have expressed such positive feelings about the cardigan.
After hearing about the cocktails of the Bombay Talkie (I wonder if Jake was tempted by the Love Story cocktail that rather imaginatively features cocoa puffs), I've been inspired to investigate that most famous of cocktails - the Aqua Velva of Zodiac fame. This is what I discovered from the Houstonist Bartender: 'The Aqua Velva is named after a brand of aftershave with a similar hue. During WWII, sailors supposedly drank the aftershave for its alcohol content. We promise this cocktail is soap-free, totally masculine, and very delicious.' And this is how you make it:
'+ 3/4 oz. vodka; + 3/4 oz. gin; + 1/4 oz. Sprite; + 1/2 oz blue curaçao; + 1/2 oz. Sprite - Shake vodka, gin, blue curaçao and Sprite with ice. Pour/strain into glass and top off with Sprite. Cocktail umbrella optional.' Rather worryingly, I have each of these ingredients, bar the sprite, to hand.
