This is one of my favorite bottles: looks like a dark pink, almost purple imperial orb, filled with raspberry and blackberry liqueur:

Happy hump day
just wanted to stop by and share my new-in. I found this Equateur summer silk 140 (new with tags). Although I dislike the summer silk, I love the design in a larger format. I re-homed all of my 90 hoping to find a larger one - and here we go! I think I am sisters with Lanit and Croisette (?) - remember seeing those inspirations. Have a great rest of the week, all!

I’m taking notes! I like to experiment while ensuring I have a secure supply of my beloved Barr Hill gin, produced in Vermont and redolent of honey. I hope to pair more H scarves and cocktails before the theme week is over!Oh, my dear @LKBNOLA, I am sure we can do better than this! Always happy to enable, I mean ‘help’ 🤣
I’m not much of a vodka drinker, and the skull bottle really is quite unique, so I’d keep that (you can always refill it at some point!)
For the gins, there are some excellent choices now. The rise in the craft gin movement had produced some exceptional gins. Some of which come in lovely bottles. Keeping in mind the aesthetic sensibilities of your cart, when it comes time to refresh these, you might take a look out for:
The Isle of Harris gin (an excellent Scottish gin, that comes in a beautiful bottle that reminds me ever so slightly of reticello glass)

Or Mermaid gin (the scaled bottle, with its ombré blue, is adorable)

A wallet friendly alternative is Citadelle, an excellent French gin that is delicate enough to tempt even non-gin aficionados and makes a superb martini. It also comes in a very attractive fluted blue bottle. I always have a bottle, or two, of this on the cart. It’s not robust enough for many cocktails, but it’s a great pairing in gin-forward drinks where a clean gin is a must.

A personal favourite martini gin, when I can find it, is Bacur. It’s an Italian gin, with bright juniper and excellent balance. It comes in a beautiful copper finished bottle that is quite unique (and probably speaks to our love of orange packaging here 😊)

And, sticking with the Italian theme, if you can find it, Italicus is a superb addition to the bar cart, that also comes in a beautiful bottle. It’s an Italian bergamot liqueur, which is delicious in a martini! Just reduce the vermouth and add a little of this (up to 20% for a more prominent flavour)

Just to make you laugh, I also recently bought a gin just for the stunning packaging (so can take some of the ‘heat’ from you) The contents are distinctly average, but the presentation is outstanding. It’s not the first to use butterfly pea flower for the intense purple-blue colour it imparts (and which changes to lavender-pink with the addition of citrus to change the pH), but it is the first I know of to add pearl mica. It looks like a swirling galaxy in a bottle.

You really need to see it in motion to capture the effect; the pearl mica disperses through the liquid and shimmers through the indigo like the Milky Way in motion. Mine is likely to remain a display bottle too - it’s too pretty to consume and there are better options above!
Well, that’s my public service for the beautification of bar carts over!
Enjoy!
I like that bottle shape too!
And your Zenobia is beautiful!About as festivus as I can get.
Dark plaid with some emerald green in it with Ex Libris Madras bandana moussie. Organza always feels like a holiday type of material too.
And this scarf has nothing at all to do with the holidays, except that one day (during spring or fall, I can't recall
) I wore this out walking, and someone said what a nice Xmas scarf I had on.... 
Cherry Pink and Green Xmas for you then, Bains d'H

Too cold so it's cashmere day for me. Wearing my Orphee CSGM which reminds me of a mixed drink.
Sharing a cocktail from my home country, DH and I served this at our wedding. We had to reduce the amounts to make sure our guests didn't get drunk right away!

Thank you both so kindly. L’hiver en poste seems to have come in good colors.

I love this, thank you for sharing the scarf and the recipe. It sounds so delicious, I'll have to given it a try!
A fabulous post with so much to learn. Your cw is beautiful and that dear moon pin again.
Beautiful icy colors and another great looking drink.
