happy hour: four roses, neat

Yesterday Aaron and I celebrated our fourth anniversary, which means we’ve been married for as long as we dated. Every one of those four years Aaron has given me an amazing floral arrangement made by Saipua. Each has had a little surprise in it that relates to the traditional gift for each year of marriage. This year the gift is silk or linen, so sitting amongst those beautiful real flowers are a few delicately handmade silk flowers. Man, I feel like a lucky lady!

Ok, so I’ll stop talking about flowers and start talking about booze. Seeing as though it’s been four years, it seemed only appropriate to celebrate with a glass of Four Roses Bourbon. I know that drinking whisky straight is not everyone’s cup of tea, but both of us are big fans of a nice little nightcap.

If you’re interested in whiskey but not sure of where to start, I highly recommend Four Roses (they haven’t paid me, I promise). It’s rich and caramely with a hint of sweet in each sip. If you’re looking for a slightly more affordable step, my everyday recommendation would be Rittenhouse Rye.

Cheers! To making it another year, the strong stuff and a fun weekend ahead!

P.S. If you haven’t picked up the latest issue of Remedy Quarterly, we’re including a copy of Issue 1 with each order… it’s like 2 for 1!

    Looking at the roses, I remembered when my wife and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. She just smiled and tenderly kissed me when she received 12 white roses from her loving husband :)

    keep burning and happy anniversary to both of you!
