All the pomp and circumstance of drinking a ‘tini, with a little less bite. 1.5oz of Gin, 1.5oz of Dry Vermouth, and a few dashes of Orange Bitters — stirred until ice cold and served in a (chilled!) glass with a twist of lemon or a few olives if that’s your thing. The only rule: never vodka - it doesn’t bring much to the party.

3:1 gin and vermouth with olives and a twist. Ideally Hendricks, Aviator, or Monkey 47 with Dolin.

2 oz St George Terroir Gin (using this gin is the second most important part besides the frozen glass)
.5 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth
Lemon twist
Frozen Dorothy Thorpe Roly Poly glass (superior vessel to martini glasses for drinkability)
To make:
Combine ingredients into a shaker full of ice. Shake vigorously for at least 10-15 seconds. Remove glass from freezer. Express the lemon twist and place in the bottom of the glass. Pour the shaker into glass.
Sit back and sip.

Have you ever lusted over an object to the point of obsession? For some ungodly reason, this has been my relationship with Belgian Shoes: the dainty, bowed loafers only available at their single Midtown storefront (closed on Sunday’s). They’re whimsical, aspirational, and have a way of completing a look — from formal to casual. In a sense, perfectly imperfect.

Tomato season has arrived, and finally I feel justified in my love affair with a classic sandwich: The Turkey Club. I think it’s only appropriate for lunch, BUT it makes a great pairing for a lunch time 50/50 ‘tini (see above.) Oh, and I’ve never actually had one at a club — your local diner probably makes a perfectly good one.

Sometimes you’re lucky enough to stumble upon something great entirely by accident and at exactly the right time. This is how I feel about Tony Shirtmakers. Tony is a one man powerhouse who designs and makes (mostly custom) shirts & shirt jackets out of his home / studio in Maine. I am impatiently awaiting a beautiful brown-olive shirt jacket I commissioned a few weeks ago that should arrive right around the time this newsletter drops. Tony also just launched a small collection ready-to-wear at No Man Walks Alone — grab a top before they’re all gone!
