Thyme Passages
And now it’s time for a drink, don’t you think? Kelly Snache turned something classic and timeless into something new (and timely), which seems like a good theme for a special drink to toast this masterpiece. I love a good classic cocktail, as you may be aware, and there’s nothing more classic than the drink which likely started it all – the “Old Fashioned”. This combination of spirit, sugar and bitters was the father of all cocktails. But it’s a new year, and the theme requires something new from this old classic. I’ll include the lessons learned over time - a little bitter, a little sweet, as we look to the future to create something new. I’ve also played some word games with the flavors, but it’s forgivable – it tastes really good. So let me offer this sage advice with my limited wisdom: take your time to laugh and love a lot this year. Thanks for reading my ramblings and from me and my family to you and yours, Happy New Year!

Time to enjoy the new year - cheers!
