Yesterday's pic touched on the active streets of city life, so now for one of the nice, small details.
A Beautiful is one of the best lounging drinks ever. Courvoisier and Grand Marnier served in a brandy snifter. Often warmed over a rocks glass of hot water. I think the colors here capture the mood of the drink. |

Re: A Beautiful (drink)
You're on the right track...but unless you enjoyed this amazing drink prepared at Enrico's Sidewalk Cafe on Broadway in San Francisco, you can't possibly appreciate every nuance of this drink. A coffee cup containing mulling spices (like you would use to prepare hot apple cider) and hot water, are brought to the table along with the brandy snifter. First, the hot water containing mulling spices are poured into the brandy snifter and swirled. (The hotter the water, the better--you want to create STEAM!) Then, pour the hot water and mulling spices back into the coffee cup. Then, pour equal parts of courvvoisier and Grand Marnier into the snifter. IMMEDIATELY CAP THE SNIFTER WITH A SAUCER! (This captures the steam that incorporates the vapors of these two amazing liquors.) Pass the capped snifter under the nose of the recipient of the drink, and briefly uncap the snifter and allow the steam to waft up into the recipients nostrils...ENTOXICATINGLY WONDERFUL SENSATION THAT BRINGS A TINGLING EFFECT TO THE BRAIN! Now, sip slowly, placing the snifter on its side in the remaining hot water and mulling spices in the coffee cup. (That keeps it warm throughout the time you enjoy your BEAUTIFUL. I have seen the drink prepared this way by only one other person...a server at Enrico's Sidewalk Cafe in San Franciso. Among his other amazing talents was his ability to remember the names of every guest he ever served. I miss San Francisco and the good times at Enrico's.
