Designer cocktails…

Designer cocktails…  for my last birthday, the bartender at a fancy restaurant created a drink for me based on brandied cherries (a personal favorite of mine).  It was very good, not too sweet, and I got to name it.  But it is MUCH HARDER to name a drink than you think!  After some un-original thoughts about birthdays, favorite colors, what was in the drink, etc. I picked something silly.  Ever since then I have pondered what makes a good drink name…

It also made me ponder what I’d put on a bottle of higer-end alcohol, if asked to design a label.  This design, I call The Double V, is one of those results.  I’m debating about the silver color — what do you think?
