This is a weird holiday season. One silver lining of being home with my folks is that I was able to cook a full, classic Thanksgiving feast–turkey, pumpkin pie, buttermilk biscuits with honey butter, and roasted veggies–with lots of room and enough equipment. And now, we turn our attention to the holiday season (hooray?). Given the circumstances, I’m not really going wild on shopping, but I have been thinking about getting restaurant merch like nice tea towels or a fun diner mug as a small gift for myself (to celebrate getting a job!). When looking at the shop of one of my favorite restaurants, st. JOHN, this funky bottle caught my eye. It’s a Fergroni (a Fergus negroni) that they’re selling in the UK only. While I can’t buy it this side of the Atlantic, I wanted to keep it here for posterity, or, perhaps, inspiration (things to imbibe upon future travels). The Fergroni was inspired by a trip Fergus Henderson took to Italy, and contains Tanqueray Dry Gin, Punt e Mes vermouth, and Campari bitters. While we could all make it ourselves at home, what makes this bottle special is the Fortunato Depero-inspired label. I think I’ll be fixing up one of these in December; to paraphrase, we need a little punt e mes right this very minute. -- source link
