Cocktails & Clothes: Notes from Oregon

I’m on vacation! And, even though that means I’m social distancing in rural Northern Oregon, and not Ibiza, it’s still very nice to escape from my own house which I have barely left since April. Just because I can’t travel to a legendary Mediterranean holiday destination (I’m not bitter) doesn’t mean I can’t dress like I’m there.  I’m really loving the matching/co-ord/set thing, it feels so easy, put together and perfect for going on holiday. While I haven’t found my perfect matching set yet, I thought this color-blocked look had just as much impact. This skirt is the Breathtaking Tiger Lily’s skirt from Modcloth. The top is the Linen Tide Back Cropped Tank  from Lou&Grey.

As far as I’m concerned, there is literally no better time than any time to drink a Negroni. Since I’m in Oregon, and there’s a pandemic on, I’ve had to be a little flexible with my cocktail ingredients. I remembered to bring the Campari, of course, but I definitely forgot the sweet vermouth. Luckily, I happened to have one of my favorite white ports on hand, and it's a pretty great substitute.  Pour it, stir it with your (clean) god damn finger and enjoy it while looking at, talking to or doing something that you love. 

Negroni Angelica
1 oz. Gin
1 oz. Campari
1 oz. Picchetti Mission Angelica white port

Pour ingredients directly into a chilled rocks glass filled with ice, stir with finger. 

Cheers!
