"Good drinking isn't simply about whatever liquid's in your glass. It's about the stories, and rituals, and beautiful things that accompany it, too."
"And that's why my wish list this holiday season is actually quite short on bottles of booze (if you're in need of more wine and spirits recommendations please do check back on my previous columns or Elite Traveler's gift guide!)."
"Something to read while sipping, a lovely glass, an outrageous potato chip - these are the sort of things that transform a simple round of drinks into a five-star cocktail moment."
Good drinking centers on the stories, rituals, and beautiful things that accompany the liquid. Rituals and storytelling create context and memory, turning a simple pour into an event. The wish list prioritizes experiences and accouterments over additional bottles, favoring items that enrich the moment. Suggestions include a compelling book to read while sipping, an elegant glass that enhances aroma and appearance, and a playful, outrageous snack that sparks conversation. These items provide tactile, visual, and narrative layers that uplift social drinking. Small, thoughtful objects and rituals can convert an ordinary round into a five-star cocktail moment.
