New Years Eve

New Year's Eve is always an epic night in New England. No use in bringing the camera out with you - so I snapped a few quick photos post-going out with my friend Jhai, over some Ol'Fashion's and and Pimms.

Start with a beer... ignore the old sayings.

A Quick Selfie

A glass of Pimm's will always settle your stomach post-drinking a lot. 

Jhai - an old friend from college always stays in touch with us. He's a wildly talented musician and a sharp dresser.  

Jhai's watch and style mix tweed and scotch well. 

Steff and I recently found this gem of a super 8 vintage camera at a second hand store. It's made it's way onto our fireplace mantel. 

Pre-going out into the cold, we always make ol' fashions. It's a real mans drink - slightly sweet with a smooth aftertaste. It warms your soul but is quite refreshing. We always recommend huge "king's" ice cubes.  

Our Ol'Fashion Recipe:

- Start with a sugar cub in an ol' fashion glass. I prefer one with a heavy base. 

- Add a few drops of Angostura Bitters to the cube and smash with a spoon.

- Add 2oz. of a great burbon - I always perfer a slightly sweet one such as Angles Envy

- Add a cherry, some orange slices and muddle it together. 

- Fill it with an oz. of water - and add one huge King's Ice Cube. 

-For a holiday feel - add some nutmeg on top, and garnish with a cinnamon stick.

- Sit in front of your fire and enjoy your New Year's Eve. 

The Finished Product

Enjoy your fire, and be a man. 

 Happy Holiday's from the Fiftals, and Anchor Wood!
