Tonight's martini...

... featured The Botanivore gin, from St. George Spirits in Alameda. It's heady stuff... medicinal, but mostly in a good way. I suppose being a born-again Californian and native plant lover I must try their Terroir gin, with "Douglas fir, California bay laurel, coastal sage, and other evocative botanicals." Do those botanicals include the musky (and lovely) Ribes sanguineum? At any rate, so far, in my martini I rather prefer another local, No. 209. Shaken, not stirred, of course.
