Speaking of Cocktails...

It's Friday afternoon - my favorite time for a cocktail. And really, is there a better time for one? No, friends, there is not. Today I'm enjoying a Vodka Gimlet. It's simple, classic, and very Betty.

The recipe is:

2 1/2 ounces vodka

3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice

1 ounce simple syrup

Combine in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a martini glass. Or enjoy on the rocks in an old-fashioned glass. Garnish with a lime wedge. 

Betty thinks this cocktail is perfect drink to assist in closing the books on another work week. 

Cheers!

Hello, my name is Betty. It's a pleasure to meet you.

I'm blending the 1960's housewife with the modern working mother. I wear dresses with heels and pearls. I am a working professional. I'm smart, independent and I love pretty things. I can cook, make classy cocktails, and run an office. I want my daughters to know that they, too, can do it all. Watch out, world - Modern Betty knows what she wants and she's in control.
