Happy Hour: Midnight Millionaire

Dec 16, 2011

It’s difficult to believe that in just a few short weeks, the calendar will close and 2012 will be upon us.  And while I usually love a new year, 2011 was very good to me, so I’m sad to see her go. 

Regardless, the New Year is a great time to celebrate life.  So why not celebrate in style with a cocktail that’s sure to raise the festivities to another level? 

Elit Midnight Millionaire

1 oz Stoli Elit
Perrier Jouët Fleur de Champagne (I prefer Rose.)
Raspberry for garnish

Pour the vodka into a Champagne flute. Fill with Champagne, and give it a light stir just to combine.
Add a single raspberry (or a few, depending on your taste) as a garnish.
The ingredients for this recipe are pricey, but you can easily sub in some less expensive choices.  For champagne, Miss M and I are both loving Piper Sonoma.  It’s the perfect under-$20 bottle.
I’ve had numerous requests for evening shoes, so I thought that I would share this pair.  I love a metallic shoe for evening, and the light sparkle on this black pump would be perfect for new years.  I also think the mesh cut outs are a bit edgy without being over-the-top. 
I’d wear them with bare legs.  Even if it’s a little chilly, I don’t particularly like to wear tights with evening clothes, unless I absolutely have to wear them.

    I'm confused by this cocktail — is Stoli Elit a flavored vodka, or is this just basically fortified champagne? If that latter, I'm not sure why this would be better than just having a second glass of champagne . . . .

    H.-I'm never opposed to more champagne.

    The texture of Elit is different, though the flavor is the same. It has almost a silky texture. No idea why. So when you put it together it has an interesting mouth feel. But hey, if you want champagne with raspberries, who am I to argue?

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.
