The name here sure makes it sound dangerous, doesn’t it? Do Be Careful is fun to say, tasty, but ultimately, not in need of a special license to enjoy or chaperone to guard against one’s foolishness showing up naked on FaceBook. A bright, citrusy bev that’s mediated by the dash – and I do mean dash – of grenadine, the DBC is innocuous and goes down nicely for a couple rounds. We’ll make them again. Moving on….
So, the real story this week is the cocktail vessels themselves. Check those out! Recently, I’ve been thinking to myself that the photos were getting a little stale. We only have so many styles of glassware and seeing the same ones repeat over and over on the blog was getting monotonous. Wow…is this the Dilettante or the Debutante who can’t be seen in the same outfit one cotillion to the next? But what’s a home mixologist to do? Do you know what quality drinkware costs??? Anyway, The Partner was apparently reading my mind. (Honestly, I never expressed my thoughts out loud or even hinted!) As I was about to decant the DBC’s into a set of our martini glasses, he stopped me and pushed a box across the bar. “This is really for Christmas, but I think you might want to open it now.”
Awesome. Constantly chilled bevs that are never watered down. Some cocktailing designer was really thinking on this one!
