Set out the olive tray, grab some crushed ice. It’s time for a blog party. The kind where we hand you an Old Fashioned as you walk in an offer you a cocktail weenie. There’s pearls and proper ties and a lingering scent of cigars. The music is low and the lights are dim. The hostess still wearing a proper apron.

Take yourself back in time and enjoy a Mad Men themed party just in time for the preview. How often do you throw a real knock out of a party any way? What a perfect excuse for a shindig where you invite all of your bests over to sit back and enjoy a little company.

Slip into something vintage, bust out the fine china and stemware, join us for our #MadMenBlogParty ! I’d love to see pics of the wonderful cocktails you join in and create too! If you join in, raise a glass and share them on my Facebook page!

Wanting to recreate a vintage cocktail that stands up to the test of time? The Whiskey Sour is the perfect classic cocktail for all of your party needs.

Ingredients

• 2 oz good whiskey
• 4 oz sour mix, or simple syrup and lemon juice
• crushed ice
• Maraschino Cherries

Instructions

1. In a proper old fashioned glass, pour the whiskey and sour mix over the crushed ice. Stir gently to mix.
2. Garnish with a maraschino cheery for that proper vintage feel (or just because you like cherries). Sip slowly and enjoy.

And when your friends organize an online blog party that’s Mad Men themed, what do you do? You grab your trusty Nikon and partner up with the classy gals next door for a fun vintage photo shoot. Yeah, this is my life. Living the dream 😉

Special thanks to the lovely women of Gloss Salon #GlossGirl – hair make up and models,  and Valle’s Fine Italian Steakhouse in Delaware for the location. More images from this set will be online soon at my photography site.
