The holidays are busy and when they are all done, you just need a night to relax and reconnect with your significant other.
COCKTAIL
A classic cocktail, like a dirty martini is perfect for the night. Try this recipe from All Recipes:
In a mixing glass, combine 6oz quality vodka, 1 dash dry vermouth, 1oz olive brine and 4 olives. Pour into a glass over ice. Either drink on the rocks, or strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
DINNER

2. Thistle & Dahlia Centerpiece
3. Alencon Lace Napkins
