Cocktail time

I don't know why but drinks just seem to taste better from a cocktail glass, and there is something about the glass itself that makes me want to sip more slowly. Cocktails don't have to have alcohol - or even many calories! Pour some of your favourite flavoured water into a glass and spritz it up with something interesting, a dash of lime, a pinch of spice, a drop of tabasco, a mint leaf. Add ice if liked. Now sip with an air of refined elegance.

Mocktails sound good. I'm going to have to experiment with them more.

The times that I do try to have a "social" glass of wine with friends invariably increase my appetite and reduce my inhibitions to the point of adding many unintended calories...

I will get back to you if I find any recipes worth sharing.

I totally agree--put anything in a martini glass and it tastes better to me, booze or not ;)
