As the sun starts to make more regular appearances here in Seattle, our thoughts naturally turn to two things: first, our annual attempt to grow an herb garden in our kitchen and second, lemonade. These things might not seem related, but they are. At least when it comes to herb-infused lemonade.

       

Seattlest Abbey and Seattlest Katelyn, inspired by this Culinary Sherpa entry, combined resources last night to create and consume Eyeball-Tinis. You too can create this crafty, creepy, delicious beverage! For more detailed martini instructions, check Culinary Sherpa.

The internet knows drinks, we'll tell you what. A little while ago we were casting about for a good fall drink, and have been trying out the various suggestions. A Maker's Manhattan ranks right up there, but yesterday we were tipped off to the existence of the "Broken Leg." Hot cider and bourbon. It's a little tricky to hunt down the cider (we called 15th Avenue's Liberty, Smith, and 22 Doors before the Canterbury came through for us), but we're here to tell you it's worth it. Just be careful--it goes down real easy.

We were sitting in Liberty last night having a gin and tonic, when all of a sudden we felt like we were wearing white after Labor Day. The g&t has been a wonderful, refreshing summer drink, but it's probably time to move on. To what, though? Irish coffee? A Manhattan? Hot buttered rum is too mid-winter. What's a good autumnal drink? Maybe something that goes with a earth-toned scarf or a green cap, if we're not getting too specific.
