I really like gin. Sherry is OK by me, too. Can't stand vodka, even in the form of a bloody Mary or a screwdriver. However, since my last sickness, for better or worse but I've become a virtual teetotaller.

Because naturally every middle-classed house has fully equipped bar. <br /><br />I think it is a bad thing to let guests decide what to have for aperitif. Because the meal is a ensemble that starts with the aperitif. Only the one who made the menu knows what drink suits best to the food to come. Yes, it will be finished by then but still. Of course there has to be alcohol-free option for those who do not drink. And people can always not drink if they do not like something. <br /><br />In my point of view, dinner is a show and I am the director. Therefor, I decide what is served, including the drinks. (of course I mind peoples allergies, but then everybody eats the same. Once we had hubby's vegetarian friend and we all had vegetarian food.) <br /><br />People should anyway be very careful with aperitifs. Wrong choice can really numb your tastebuds for the entire evening. I usually prefer dry sherry or dry sparkling wine. Some foods do require vodka, though. That numbs your moth very much, yes, but if you are serving russian-style food. Housewife from Finlandnoreply@blogger.com
