Andrew is a very organized bartender.

Tonight Andrew and I had a gathering of people from The-Cocktail-Club-formally-known-as-the-Book-Club. Last year a friend and I started a monthly book club with a membership of nine ladies. It all started out enthusiastically enough but as the months progressed the ladies dropped out, each with some sort of lame excuse like having to spend more time with their children. After six short months our book club was a bust. So last September, over a Friday evening drink, my friend and I founded the Cocktail Club. The Cocktail Club works like this: once a month or so a pre-selected member hosts a gathering at their home. So far we have been treated to a wine-tasting night, a beer-tasting night, gin cocktails and tonight we served vodka cocktails. Next month we’re going to Palm Springs to try champagne. There are so many members in the club that we won’t have to host again until the year 2010.
