Last week, Beefeater 24 took Boston by storm, and sponsored a tea party/launch event at Drink. Beantown’s own Misty Kalkofen joined the likes of Dan Warner and others as mad hatter-mixologists, serving up delish drinks. Check out the photos below as well as the recipe for Drink’s take on the Barbara West cocktail.

The Barbara West Cocktail

1 1/2 oz. Beefeater 24 gin

3/4 oz. Amontillado Sherry

During a “business” trip to Austin last week my girls and I stumbled across a gem of a bar in the Warehouse District called Peche. It means “to sin.” At first that seemed like an unlikely name for such a posh bar, but after we were there a while I started to understand the innuendo.

Picture this: we walk in – three goofy girls from the mid-west – and get greeted by none other than the owner. He asks us what we prefer to drink (white russians, vodka crans) and quickly says: those are no good, I will make you drinks that are much better! And that he did. One drink had egg whites and nutmeg in it (no joke), the other rare booze and a perfectly sliced apple. Since they make each cocktail to your taste you never have to worry about it not meeting your expectations. Mine, a bit too sweet – we added lime. Perfection.

For once in my life I felt like a true movie star; as if all I needed to complete the dream was a long cigarette, a fabulous gown, and an entourage of beautiful men.

One drink was plenty to start ”feeling it.” We danced back to our hotel looking forward to returning the next night in hopes of experiencing the same great sensations once more before returning to our mundane lives in the real world.

Peche. If drinking fabulous custom-made drinks at an old school cocktail bar makes me a sinner then send me off to hell! I am counting down the days till I can go back!

The other night I had the opportunity to attend an industry networking event at the Vibiana. The event was hosted by Brides.com and Brides Southern California Magazine. What a terrific venue! Vibiana is a complete blank slate with some beautiful accent with the cathedral decor that still remains.

There were beautiful flower arrangements on the altars, perfectly designed uplighting in purples, yellows, and the awesome lounge set up. There were some great vendors there, since it was a Brides.com event, and even some familiar faces!

Here is a stock photo of the location interior. Imagine all the possibilities inside! I could see some really beautiful weddings and special events here. This would be a great alternative to your hotel receptions. For hosts that want to add in their personal touches for a grand affair, this would be a terrific option.
