Because I love salt with cucumbers, I salt the rim for this drink, although I salt the rim of most drinks.
One of my best longtime friends Joe, flew 3,000 miles to the West Coast to celebrate my 46th birthday with me. We went to Big Sur & Carmel for the weekend. The first night in Big Sur, we went to Ventana Restaurant to have a drink and watch the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. Joe sent me out to secure sunset seating while he ordered our cocktails at the bar. By the time he arrived outside, I had found the guitarist (Rondo) and made several new friends in the course of 15 minutes--because that's just what Southern girls are brought up to do. The weather was perfect and the sun was on its way down. We all sat on the edge of that beautiful, hazy cliff, staring out at the ocean, singing along to Bob Dylan songs while we sipped on our perfectly-made cocktails. It was a happy trinity of friends, nature and booze, as we sat talking and singing and laughing with the group we had so quickly formed. It was a such great evening that I will long remember. The White Linen definitely enhanced this memory and enchanted my taste buds. It was so delicious, it seemed selfish not to share.
