Cocktail Video: How2Heroes Sparkler

Well, the lovely, third installment of Italy ’09 (a newly trademarked phrase), the Upper Tiber Valley starring Nestor’s pizza, is still to come, but will have to wait another week, cause I’m heading to Boston, to celebrate the first anniversary of that delicious food- and drink-video site, How2Heroes.com. Can you believe it, just one year old and they’ve already put out some of the most rootin-est tootin-est tastiest videos around, from chefs, bartenders, writers, and genial drunkards. And, you, of course (or folks like you, since anyone can and should post videos). Anywho, for their first birthday they’re having a big ol’ party, where they’ll be serving up delights and giving away signed copies of Wine Cocktails (and yes, they’ll be signed by me. Or a proxy). And, I’ll be serving a wine cocktail too (the Bishop), as well as a sparkly drink I made just for the occasion, called the How2Heroes Celebratorio Anniversario Sparkler, or the How2Heroes Sparkler, for short. Hopefully I’ll be seeing you at the party, but if not, you should have one of these bubbly beauts on Weds to help celebrate. And the below video will show you how to make it. Doesn’t that deserve a Yay! all around? I think so.

Yay, indeed! Perhaps you’re eking out just one Italy post a week, but you’re still typing faster than I can read! Alas, I have been remiss in my blog reading this past week (although I am caught up now and recovering from the gratuitous meat photos) as I have been busy stuffing Jon full of pasta in preparation for his mini marathon, which he rocked last Saturday. (Careful about asking, though, cuz he ain’t that crazy about his time. Runners. sheesh.) We have been remiss also in making wine cocktails! (He couldn’t run all lickered up! Runners. Again: sheesh.) hugs and kisses.

Leslie, the bar-rage is an awesome phrase I’ve never thought of. Genius!

And Nicole, glad you recovered from the meat photos, and thanks for coming back? And tell Jon I’m sure his time running the marathon was faster than I could have driven it, so he should be happy about that. And about the fact that he can now drink it up again!
