A few things I am not:
-pro-ana
-a speedy runner
-shy about public speaking
-opposed to cocktails before noon
-sorry for including all of my interests in one confused tumblelog

This blog contains my personal musings, adventures and inspirations.

Shenanigans, beautiful finds and Instagrammed shots from daily life, you can follow here. Shoes, cocktails, feathers and food; fashion, running, bikes and art. Sometimes politics. Sometimes athletics. Sometimes all of the above.

My full account (running only, no stilettos) of my athletic ambitions since running the 2011 Boston Marathon for charity is at KateRuns, though I share snippets here as often as possible.

Want to get in touch? Ask me anything or shoot me an email at kate [at] unionjackcreative [dot] com! I tweet and facebook, too.

Be sure to also follow Union Jack Creative for a more gender neutral dose of design and contemporary art.

Doce Uvas Cocktail

South American New Year’s traditions dictate everything from outerwear (dress head-to-toe in white for a spiritually rich year) to underwear (yellow for wealth) to snacks (12 grapes in the first minute of the new year for all-around good luck). Allan Katz, the general manager at Caña Rum Bar in Los Angeles, plans to greet 2012 with this sparkling cocktail—another South American tradition to savor.

1.0 Don Q Añejo
3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
3/4 ounce spiced cider gastrique
1 dash Bitter Truth Creole Bitters

Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with cubed ice and shake for eight seconds. Strain into a flute or cocktail glass and top with Champagne. Garnish with one of your 12 grapes.
