Sol y Sombra

July 3, 2011 (Day 97) — Sol y Sombra

During a bullfight in Spain, there are typically two types of seats the spectator can expect to pay for — the Sol (in the sun) or the Sombra (in the shade). The Sol is cheapeast and the Sombra most expensive. However, there is something in between.

And we’re not talking about tranny porn.

Or Lady Gaga.

We’re actually talking about Sol y Sombra. You’ll be in the sun part of the time. You’ll be in the shadow part of the time. Not as cheap as Sol, not as expensive as Sombra.

It’s also the name of tonight’s drink.

Sol y Sombra

• 2 oz Hennessy VS Cognac
• 2 oz anisette

Combine ingredients in a brandy snifter and serve. No ice, baby.

Beautifully mixed and tasteful. Unlike our above joke. Sorry about that.

Cheers!
