Lorne ,'Why We Fight'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
How long do I have to wait before it's not too early for a drink?
it's 5 o'clock somewhere
And do I start with wine or some sort of cherry vodka based cocktail?
go cherry, choose cherry! I am a big fan of the cherry vodka gimlet, eponymously called The Stephtini
it's 5 o'clock somewhere
I have had my 17 (well, 16 at the time) year old tell me this. One would think I tip the occasional cocktail.
The noon rule does not apply to mimosas or bloody marys.

right. those are breakfast drinks, acceptable anytime after 9AM. or whenever, really
Side note: I would never ask this question during football season. If the game has started, or is about to start, it's time for a beer.
And follow-up question:L it's not drinking alone if I'm with the invisible people in the box, right?

That's a reasonable thing to keep in mind when you're you, Jilli. ALso, I note that you say this about things you "kinda like", which underscores the fineness of it - if you were turning up things you love because they'r be too common, that might be another kettle of fish. Or it might not. I've been trying to convince myself not to buy anything I'm not in love with, lately, so that's a bias I have right now...

Of course not! Virtual cocktail parties are all the rage. It's also not the sad drinking alone if you are in the bath, primping to go out (or stay in), relaxing after a crap day or watching a sport.
Even if the other Victorian goth girls have it, none of them will be able to pull it off the way you do, Jilli. A dress alone does not an impression make.
Stephtini recipe?

What about staring unseeing at the television?
Daisy makes the best rules. Or interprets. Whatever. I will gladly follow the Way of Daisy Jane.
I've gone with 4 parts 3 Olives, 1 part cranberry concentrate and one part lime juice. It's a bit more opaque than I'd like, and could use some sweet to balance the tart. Not much Actually, it's pretty good like it is. Maybe more lime less cranberry next one.
Also, my martini glasses seem quite enormous, I was sure I was making two servings but it all fit in the one glass no problem.
