Cocktail Hour in Arvada

Dale and I stayed with John and Dianne in Arvada, Colorado this past weekend. After dinner drinks included a martini for me and a gin and tonic for John in the hot tub (don't worry, we kept the temp a little lower and were well hydrated).

Cocktail Hour in Colorado

Dale and I are in Colorado visiting his folks, Brenda and Irv. Irv is a big fan of cocktail hour and, although not a martini drinker, he let's me mix one up for him when we're out to visit. On our last visit I bought him a martini shaker and a couple martini glasses for when we're here because it helps, of course, to have the proper tools. We used Bombay Sapphire gin and a little vermouth. Olives were a must.
