I am Pleased to Introduce The Lovely Erinn Scott!

Hello Everyone,

In my past blogs (yes the all three of them)  I have vowed to stay current in keeping you updated with AToE.  Obviously, it did not prove to be true since the last entry was from last year!!!  With that said, the lovely Erinn Scott our newest team member and planner extraordinaire will also be blogging with me!  Erinn has a wealth of knowledge that she will be sharing with you in the coming days, so check back soon!  In the mean time here is my first official blog entry this year, it really should be two posts but what the heck!

Where do I begin? 2010 has been a Cinderella year.  I can not come up with words to describe how amazing this year has been for AToE thus far.  It has been a lot of hard work for all of us but a lot of fun was had as well.  I am sure that Erinn will catch you up in the coming days.  For now I will start with the present, AToE is very honored to be working with Rolls Royce during the Concours d'Elegance.  We will catering a week long event in a gorgeous Pebble Beach house being used as the  test drive "club house"?.  

In honor of the Rolls Royce Ghost, one of many fabulous test drive vehicles, A Taste of Elegance has concocted The Ghost Martini! 

It's a lovely white-translucent cocktail with exotic flavors and is very refreshing.  For the garnish, we shaved fresh ginger paper thin and candied it until transparent to it a ghostly feel. 

Here is the recipe:

.25 cup Vodka (we use Kettle One)
.5 cup Lychee Juice
4 Table Spoons Fresh Lime Juice
6 Table Spoons of Ginger Infuse Simple Syrup (see recipe below)
Paper Thin Candied Ginger for Garnish
Shake with lots of ice in a Martini Shaker and serve immediately.  Make 2 generous cocktails.  Enjoy!
