Sandra Dee, Rome, 1965

Made a Ten Spot cocktail tonight - 3 parts gin to 1 part Aperol, lime juice, and grapefruit juice. I don’t usually favor gin cocktails but they’re nice to mix things up. This one is very fruit forward with a hint of bitterness. And I love the color!

Nw:

Watched these two silents in the last couple of days, really loved them both. They were actually kind of similar (adventure movie with a charming rogue-type in a foreign land). After silent comedies, I think I connect the most with silent adventure films. A bit more exciting, a bit more kinetic.
