Holiday Party '50s Style
If you’re planning a holiday party, why not do a retro theme? We are celebrating the imminent return of Mad Men to our Winter TV viewing schedule, after all!
To guide you along, pick up Vintage Cocktails: Retro Recipes for the Home Mixologist ($14.56) by cultural historian Amanda Hallay, with sassy drawings by fashion illustrator, David Wolfe. Serve up some Pink Ladies, Gin Fizzes and Whisky Sours in these gorgeous Onyxflower coupes from Anthropologie (US $14). Throw in some foods on a stick and do the Watusi all night long.
But do draw the line at chain-smoking and office party affairs. And don’t be a Betty Draper. —Jennifer Nachshen
