MILESTONES/500 500. How the hell did we get here? 500 times we’ve sweated over the deadline, argued about the cover, debated if we should say @#$* in the intro and weighed our options about slagging off the villain de-jour. But you know what - every late night design marathon, every last minute scribbled word, every beer with an advertiser, every heart to heart with a reader who has an idea to make the mag better, every interview with an artist that just wants to be heard, every new writer who just wants to be read, every time publishing changed, the tears of loss, the embrace of joy, the good, the bad, the really bad and the really good - all of it - every moment all adds up to what you are holding in your hands and we wouldn’t trade a second of any of it. To everyone who’ve helped The Source along the way - advertisers, writers, photographers, artists, contributors, delivery people, musicians and most of all you, our readers, we would not be here without you. From the bottom of our snarky smart ass hearts - thank you. Here’s to another 500. Source Out. Scott, Sophie, Tim, Kirsten and the rest of Team Source.

Life isn’t a matter of milestones, but of moments. Rose Kennedy
By TIM BUCKLEY
A HISTORY FROM MANY SOURCES notorious publishing powerhouse saw Jenny move back to the UK, then Karlin shooting off up to Nelson leaving Tim to fend off the lawyers from NewsCorp. Carly stepped in as a manager for a couple of years steadying the ship, Kirsten joined the team and then along came publishing heavy-hitters Rich and Ingrid. A design rethink, a move to a monthly entertainment mag and Carly’s dash to the UK to work for the family record label brought about a new era of full colour, colourful writers and regular complaints from visitors from the US. We also discovered Si’s secret poetry talents. Awesome. Next up, in 2013 Scott and Sophie joined Tim and Kirsten at the helm and whipped this rag along the back straight to the 500 marker... So where to from here? Good question. Do we keep going with the themes? Do we get that Helen Clarke interview? Do we zombie-flash-mob the next presidential visit? Do we send Justin Beiber an envelop full of ginger pubes? Big questions folks and if you’ve got any thoughts we’d love to hear them. Here’s to the next 500 (minutes of your life) make ‘em count.
FIRST THERE WAS A GUY CALLED BRENDAN. HE TURNED UP WITH AN IDEA FOR WEEKLY A GIG GUIDE AND SET THE BALL ROLLING. Back in those days; we’re talking 1998, The Source was just a photocopied single sheet of A3 supported by a few willing bars and some retailers. Nobody seems to know what happened to Brendan, he sold the gig to Bones and left town. Or at least that’s how Bones tells it. Cut-throat game this publishing lark. Bones stepped it up a notch and introduced a slightly classier level of printing. The paper went posh too. Then Bones cashed in his fortune and passed the mantle to Luke who ran the show for a couple of seasons. Back then the Wolf was howling at Council about closing times, Scotty was a regular contributor and the carpet at Chico’s was where the live action was at. Then in the early 00’s Jenny, Karlin and Tim took over the reigns for a stint. Introducing hEvan’s Horrorscopes and witnessing the launch of the LWB; It’ll never last we said... I think we also predicted the early demise of Fergburger once they moved out of Cow Lane... Further reshuffles at the top of this 4

The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. CS Lewis
By DREW MENTOCK
UNDERWELMINGLY GREAT.
CONTRARY TO COMMON THOUGHT, ONE OF THE MOST UNDERWHELMING MOMENTS IN LIFE CAN COME AFTER REACHING A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE. NOT TO SAY THAT MILESTONES ARE BAD. THEY’RE NOT AT ALL. ONE OF THE GREATEST JOYS IN THE WORLD CAN BE THE MOMENT WHEN A GOAL THAT’S BEEN DREAMED OF FOR YEARS IS ACHIEVED, BUT IT’S ALSO IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE NEXT MILESTONE IN MIND. This philosophy is often not followed in Queenstown. Many people living here took on a huge challenge by travelling thousands of miles to get here without knowing anyone. They found a job, new friends and a place to live amidst the most beautiful scenery in the world. They set up a life. But then they stopped looking for new challenges, new milestones. The life they set up becomes mundane. “You stop seeing the beauty in Queenstown because you get stuck in a rut of work and going out to the same places” said Hannah Sampson-Barry, an England native
who has spent the last year living in Queenstown. “Not saving and not having anything to show for your time can be a huge drawback. You forget to look up and see how incredible it is.” What is bad is the expectation that the achievement of a milestone will bring ease and tranquility to a once challenge-ridden life. This will lead to disappointment. That’s why the best way to live is to allow for a short period of time to enjoy a reached milestone, find a new one to reach, work until it is met - and repeat. This is supported by scientific research. John Salamone, a professor at the University of Connecticut in the United States, recently conducted research that shows that dopamine (the chemical in the brain responsible for feeling happy) is released once a satisfying reward is earned, as well as while the work is being done to earn it. At the end of next month SampsonBarry will be leaving Queenstown to attend the University of Canterbury in Christchurch. She is ready to reach a new milestone and to, once again, see her place in life as incredible.

A COLLECTION LOST BY SAM BROWN
sourced from overseas via mail order, friends and from local NZ record shops.
THERE’S MUCH TALK THESE DAYS AROUND THE RESURGENCE OF THE VINYL RECORD - SOME HAVE FOUND THIS MEDIUM FOR THE FIRST TIME, OTHERS HAVE REDISCOVERED IT AND FOR MANY IT NEVER WENT AWAY. POSSIBLY THIS RESURGENCE COULD SIMPLY BE THE JOY OF HAVING THE PHYSICAL ARTEFACT, BRINGING A FEELING OF TRUE CONNECTION TO THE MUSIC, ONE THAT CAN BE LOST ON THE INFINITELY MORE CONVENIENT AND ACCESSIBLE DIGITAL FILE. But what happens when the physical is damaged beyond repair - all but lost to the owner who has spent so much time finding and caring for it? And what happens when that loss is on an immense scale? One morning in April of 2014 at 7am black music specialist Danny Lemon received a text message about a fire at his storage facility. Along with some personal belongings - clothes, photographs, etc., the unit contained boxes stacked to the ceiling, holding the majority of Danny’s collection of jazz, jazz funk, house and reggae, including seven or eight boxes of 7” singles. Having lost a collection of 200 odd records to a London thief in 1980, the bulk of this collection had been
Along with the 8,500 odd records incinerated around 200 Black Music, Echoes and Blues and Soul magazines, catalogues, fanzines, private lists and his cassette tape collection supplied from other fanatics like himself he’d teamed up with locally and afar from the mid eighties were lost. This collection was the foundation of Danny’s vast musical knowledge. Local Kingston photographer and long time friend of Danny’s, Philippa O’Brien documented the heartbreaking clean-up on medium format film and later undertook a studio shoot of individual burnt artefacts. Whilst the physical loss was apparent and often too raw to process, these music colleagues consistently reminded Danny what counted was the musical knowledge that he had in abundance. 8
These friends and other lovers of music gathered to mark the loss a cultural treasure playing all night in solidarity. Philippa’s images alongside Danny Lemon’s Authentic Selection poster made up of the studio shots were on display and available to help support Danny in rebuilding some of this collection.
Then on Saturday afternoon there will be “A Discussion on Record Collecting with Danny Lemon”. This workshop discussion with Danny is likely to encompass topics such as artists and producers, mood and politics of the time and anything else that comes to mind - it is set to become a journey into black music. Register your interest in this workshop by sending your name, cellphone and email to sherwoodworkshop@dannylemon. com
Eighteen challenging months later The Sherwood are helping to bring the photography, music and knowledge of Danny to a new audience.
From Sunday the exhibition will move inside to stay up for the enjoyment of guests of The Sherwood over the following weeks.
The exhibition will have an opening at 5pm on Thursday 18th Feb with a Danny Lemon DJ set following from 7. 9

Recording Fire: Danny Lemon’s Authentic Selection 1974–2014 “I don’t know much about anything, but I do know a lot about music.” Philippa O’Brien Photography
There is much talk these days around the resurgence of the vinyl record—some have found this medium for the first time, others have rediscovered it and for many it never went away . Possibly this resurgence could simply be the joy of having the physical artefact, bringing a feeling of true connection to the music, one that can be lost on the infinitely more convenient and accessible digital file. But what happens when the artefact is damaged beyond repair—all but lost to the owner who has spent so much time finding and caring for it? And what happens when that loss is on an immense scale?

JONNY SAYS NICE THINGS ABOUT US.
It’s when ordinary people rise above the expectations and seize the opportunity that milestones truly are reached. Mike Huckabee
By JONNY JAMES
THANKS JONNY
We’re bombarded by digital messages flooding our minds. We’ve fallen for the trick of pleasing our tech addiction by diving right in at the deep end of the digital swimming pool. Has information become so diluted with the “you can’t believe what happened next” click bait nonsense and narcissist vlogers that people are just starting to log off? With the turn of the new year I’ve noticed a few trail blazers attempt digital diets and good on them… but what is it about physical media that can now be appreciated with such a milestone…? These papers you hold in your hands right now are your first steps in joining in on the amnesty and with that thought in mind let’s take a moment to give the team at The Source the biggest lyrical birthday cake possible. Putting 500 editions into perspective you have to admire what this magazine has offered to our community over the years. It’s impressive, it’s pinnacle and it’s a unique publication to Queenstown, and to the whole of New Zealand and beyond. It’s free.. sure, it costs you nothing to pick up a copy and enjoy the
madness that entails beneath its covers. But, it’s also free from the political bullshit that other publications may get caught up in. Without these shackles, creativity is free to roam our pages whilst offering an honest perspective and thought provoking forum of ideas for our community to digest. It’s non-profit… okay, so it needs to cover it’s costs with advertising but those paid for pages in here are from like minded innovative people showcasing and investing in talented people and offering just that to you on your doorstep. The Source plays an important role; binding the creative sparks of our ever changing town and giving you the great opportunity to consume free media from a physical edition which will strengthen your eyes, your mind, your heart and your soul. For this bite sized magazine to continually challenge and inspire us through all these tech driven years is testament to the energised efforts of each and every member of it’s production team. So raise your glasses with me to toast and champion these unsung heroes amongst us who tickle your saucy pleasures.

MISERABLE MILESTONES
By BETHANY G. ROGERS A FEW BAD IDEAS FROM HUMAN HISTORY
would take 117 years to build... on soft clay ground. 1918 – In the midst of a skirmish in WW1 a British soldier stumbled across a wounded, unarmed German Lance Corporal who was sitting in a ditch. The British soldier pointed his pistol at the man but in an act of compassion, lowered his weapon and walked away. Later, Lance Corporal Hitler would retell his story, believing that his life was spared because he was intended for greatness. 1945: The Trinity Explosion. An army and some scientists got together and had a play around with plutonium implosion fusion in the deserts of New Mexico. A bright mushroom cloud was seen for miles around and a huge crater was left in the ground. A herd of cattle suffered radiation. Shortly afterwards, the USA and UK decided to try out their new nuclear toys on two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 1981: The Underarm BOWLING INCIDENT. 2011: John Key invented the threeway handshake. 2017: Donald Trump became President of the United States of America. He named it Trump World and thus was the beginning of the end.
200,000 YEARS AGO HOMO SAPIENS SHOWED UP. AN AFFLICTION ON THE EARTH FROM THE BEGINNING, THIS SINGLE SPECIES HAS DESTROYED FORESTS, THE OZONE LAYER AND INNUMERABLE OTHER SPECIES AS WELL AS CREATING NINETIES POP MUSIC. 200,000 and a bit years ago: Fire! At first, this was a good idea to keep people warm and cook up some good grub. Then humans started playing with fire; burning other humans, smoking cigarettes and messing around with fireworks. AD354: Christmas. An amalgamation of festivals which encouraged drunkenness, misdemeanour and singing naked in the street. An early Christian movement sought to convert Pagans by adopting the festival as Jesus’ birthday. The plan was to wean the Pagans off the booze and bad behaviour and eventually turn them all into good Christians. With a few creative additions from poets and soft drink companies over the decades, Christmas today is a wholesome festival of drunkenness, misdemeanour and singing naked in the street. 1173: Pisa’s Towering Mistake. Architects created an advanced design for a beautiful tower which 14

HERB INFUSED BUTTER
KAITIME
1. Melt the butter on low heat in a medium saucepan. Butter. Who doesn’t like butter? 2. Add the ground herbs to the (sorry Derek) melted butter a little bit at a time, stirring in between. Butter makes the world go round, 3. Simmer on a low heat for 45 add it to anything and it tastes mins, stirring frequently. While awesome. The great thing about simmering, you should start to butter is you can add stuff to butter see small bubbles forming on the and make it even better. Basil, surface. parsley - really any old herb you 4. After simmering for 45 mins, find lying around. The great thing strain the butter into a container about infusing butter with herbs using a metal strainer to filter out is that you can add that butter to the ground herbs. anything and you get the herbal 5. Press a spoon against the ground benefits for all your cooking and herbs in the metal strainer to baking needs. squeeze all the herb-butter.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Take pride in how far you have come and have faith in how far you will go. Christian Larson
Since this Source thing kicked off back in the nineties it’s been influenced and pistol-whipped by a whole host of strange and wonderful individuals (huge apologies to any we’ve missed - talk to the hand... or FB) music was too much for him to take. He’s gone underground, only surfacing when the DBs are high enough. Average Jo - She’s gone and spawned a second generation - by all accounts the babe looks totally average. Rire - Floating like a butterfly in the rarified AK air - she’s throwing beats in the mystical scene and is still very tall. Si - we were going to sum him up but then we realised we never actually understood him. Karlin - Opened up a hunting lodge where she writes a blog on taxidermy called ‘You kill it, we fill it’. Jenny - Shot through to Brighton where she’s living the high life ‘in the media daahling’. Luke - Living in Dunedin, loving art, building hand-made globes Bones - Now playing in goal for West Ham United. Wasted talent. hEvan - Ev is running health retreats and has his own range of quit smoking DVDs. Brendan - He started it. Honest. Lord knows where he is now though... possibly working for Rupert Murdoch?
The Queen - His majesty now resides in a pink blow-up castle somewhere in inner city Melbourne. He continues to be the most fabulous ****er on the tram and if you disagree, he will beat you down like the bitch you are. Adam - Our token ‘Merican moved back to the motherland where he works as an Austin Hipster, still maintaining his Zumba street cred and beard that you want to build a nest in and raise puppies. Ned Myopus - Sadly Ned ran into Visa issues and was deported back to his native... um actually we’re not sure where. Rumour has it he has opened a small bar catering to art rock reprobates. Business is apparently not going well. The Wolf - Dissatisfied with the quality of New Zealand beer, our former resident beer expert now only drinks his own homebrew and is unwilling to share. Carley - She put a ring on her squeeze and is owning the decks in London-Town. Russell - After the Christmas party he stopped returning our calls. We still have your pants BTW. Dugi - The growing discontent of the utter shitfullness of mainstream 18

A significant milestone in life is achieved when you learn to be your own best friend. Jeffrey Benjamin
By ALICE CONWAY
A TOMBSTONE FOR YOUR TWENTIES
TO CELEBRATE A PERSONAL MILESTONE IS TO ERECT A TINY TOMBSTONE MARKING THE WAY TO OUR OWN MORTALITY. Here Lieth My Twenties I should’ve taken more drugs. The death of the child the birth of the adult, the death of the ‘me’ the birth of the ‘us’. Every time, we kill a little bit of ourselves off with a helium balloon attached to a basket of cupcakes and a packet of party poppers from the dollar store. Each milestone is meant to mark the point at which we transition from one state to another. Leave behind the old, embrace the new, emerge like a butterfly into the brave new world. I emerge at about 3pm with the fear and the DTs. It’s okay though, my forties will be different. How does it feel to wake up 18-21-30-40-50-married? Please see previous comment. You may have noticed I’m not a fan of personal milestones. There’s the pressure and expectation of family and friends and it’s because we look forwards in time towards them.
30 things you should have done by your 30th. 40 places to go before you’re 40. F*** THE F*** OFF I am a huge believer in external milestones, other people’s coffin toppers, society’s big day. Where were you when the Berlin Wall fell, when the Twin Towers fell, when Bowie fell? What were you doing? Who were you? You were awesome, that’s who and it had nothing to do with you being in your twenties, it was just because you were there and you lived and you noticed. By all means mark time, keep track of yourselves, track your growth, your decline. Just don’t do it on the basis that an arbitrary selection of years that form a socially constructed portion of your life isn’t going to be there for much longer. Look back and remember what you did, or what they did, or what happened in that moment. Was it before you had to take your shoes off to board an international flight, or after? Do you know why you know that? It’s because you were boarding an international flight you rock star! 20
CAN’T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN’T SEEN..

COME ON
I’VE BEEN HERE TEN YEARS THIS YEAR. TEN YEARS IN THIS SMALL CITY, BIG TOWN PLACE WITH IT’S MOUNTAINS AND FRESH VIEWS. IT’S TRIPLED-IN-SIZE MENTALITY AND THE QUEUE AT FERGBURGER. I came to this fair land at an age (a mere 26) when the important things were where do I get a decent haircut and was it really warmer in the old Pig and Whistle than my house? My, my, my what a difference. I have the same hair (maybe a bit less - I found a good hairdresser) the same skin (maybe a bit more frazzled) but my mind has been altered just as this wonderful little magazine has altered many of your experiences here in Queenstown. I remember the day I landed as you all will. I walked up and down the streets (that still look the same and I still forget which street the casino is on) and I wondered “how will I remember where everything is?” Looking back I laugh at my naivety, my wonder, my amazement at how could a world be so beautiful, so clear, so fresh and so small
all at the same time. I still have those same thoughts as I open to my eyes on the drive to work. The streets are busier, the traffic enough to make you scream but the air is still crisp, the trails are still quiet. The music and arts scene has got better, the community and connections have all grown wider and more beautiful. There’s a hum of chatter about the way the town is heading from tourists to car hire, from traffic to coffee shops being knocked down and moved on. We have fighting spirit, we love a good argument. We can all argue one minute about the colour of a building (Camp Street salmon pink anyone) then settle down to all talk about our love of a good Central Otago pinot the next. That’s what makes us so gorgeous, so different, still full of youth as we see where and what this town can do next. I love this town as I do what The Source is doing out here. Being bold, being fresh and being alive. That’s Queenstown all over.

THE BATH HOUSE
ABOUT: The Bath House sits elegantly in the afternoon sun right on the shores of Lake Wakatipu. This beachside restaurant and bar has been a Queenstown landmark since it was built to commemorate the coronation of King George V in 1911. It was originally constructed with changing rooms for the modest swimmers of the day but has become a local favourite for tapas, freshlycooked food and of course a great selection of wines. The service is outstanding and the location is probably the best there is in or out of town. SPECIALTIES: Breakfast, lunch and really great scones. SOURCE SAYS: If you want to step away from the hubbub of downtown it’s a two minute stroll along the Parade to this cosy, warm, lakeside hideaway. Opening Times: 9am - late THE BATH HOUSE Food: Full menu lunch and dinner Marine Parade, Queenstown Bookings: Possible New Zealand Music: Background P: 03 442 5625 Outdoor area: Absolute beach front unwind@bathhouse.co.nz 23

Age is not important, unless you are a cheese. Helen Hayes
By SCOTT KENNEDY
COOKING UP AT
REVERB SOUND KITCHEN and mentoring. The space is already being taken advantage of by many a local junior muso, with more joining in all the time. So if you’re sub 25, looking for a place to jam and make art in a cool and supportive space get amongst it. Same goes if you know the way around the blocks and want to give something back - the next generation would be stoked to hear from you. For more info check them out at www. wakatipuyouthtrust.co.nz or on Facebook at The Youth Booth.
THE NEXT GENERATION OF MUSICIANS IN QUEENSTOWN FINALLY HAVE A PLACE TO CALL HOME. GONE ARE THE DAYS OF THE GARAGE, FRIENDLY VISITS FROM NOISE CONTROL AND THE UTTER DESPAIR OF PLAYING ROCK AND ROLL AT AN EMBARRASSINGLY LOW VOLUME. Enter the Reverb Sound Kitchen - brought to you by the fine folk of the Wakatipu Youth Trust. The Reverb Sound Kitchen is an alternative space for young people aged 15-24 to use as a home to create and play music. On Friday nights when The Booth closes, the space transforms into a muso cafe. With this comes an opportunity for young people to jump on stage with their instruments and perform their music, as well as opportunities for guest artists

Review your goals twice every day in order to focus on achieving them. Les Brown
By THE SAUCE
LET ‘ER RIP The old Whiskey Room - I’ll take nine $5 cocktails please. Boiler Room - “Dude if you go in there dressed like that the cougars will rip you apart.” DuxDeLux - the organic polenta salad comes with a free punk show. Monty’s - Oh cool they are showing that sports wipeout video again.... Hard Rock - never went there and neither did you. Frasers - not just a sign, an actual bar too. Q-Lounge - why have one pool table when you can have 17? Solero Vino - half price before 6. Snow Park - the first-aid line was longer than the lift queue. The Studio FM - I have no idea who this band is, but I like it. Mini Bar - beer and a bump. McNeill’s - meet me on the patio, I’ll be the guy with the mullet and Ray Bans... Red Bar - David Lynch, party of one. Cow Lane Fergburger - full volume D&B, somebody’s asleep in the corner, grill boys dancing, is that the sun coming up?
IN THE PAST 500 ISSUES WE’VE SEEN LOTS OF GOOD THINGS COME AND GO IN OUR FAIR QUEENSTOWN. LET’S BOW OUR HEADS FOR A MOMENT AND SHARE A THOUGHT FOR SOME OLD FRIENDS LONG GONE. The Carpet in the Pig and Whistle - always soggy, never forgotten. The (old) World Bar disabled toilet - yeah, everybody did... Vudu - where waiting 40 min for a table was worth it. The original Joe’s Garage - no sign, no menu, no problem. Revolver (both of them) - on a good night, sweat drips off the ceiling Debajo - 20,000 watts of sound and 4 people filling the dance-floor. I swear I met God in there one night. Subculture - “It’s 6am we really should call it a night - nah, Subby’s is just getting going.” Tardis - I’m totally winning Sugardaddy this winter. Code Bar - “sorry, how much for the Mojito?” Altitude - perfect for rugby after functions and hobbit dress up parties.

SPLORE 19TH-21ST FEBRUARY, AUCKLAND. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out on what is potentially NZ’s finest festival. The music’s the main focus but there’s lots of interaction, arts and culture. There’s also a beach. Plus Leftfield are playing. Oh, and did we mention we’ve got two tickets to give away? Stay tuned on FB.
HORRORSCOPES ARIES - Learning from the past would be a lot easier if you could remember any of it. TAURUS - Looks like someone had an extra bowl of bitch flakes this morning. GEMINI - If I give you a straw will you suck the fun out of someone else’s day? CANCER - I really wish I could understand you but I don’t bark. LEO - You cannot make everyone happy, you are not a bottle of wine. VIRGO - The voices in my head are telling me to kill you. 27
LIBRA - Don’t let your affection give you an infection. SCORPIO - If you don’t know what you’re doing, walk fast and look worried. SAGITTARIUS - Sometimes the right thing and the hard thing are the same thing. I read that on a teabag. CAPRICORN - Why have abs when you can have kebabs? AQUARIUS - Trying to understand some people is like trying to pick up a turd by the clean end. PISCES - Nothing brightens up a room like your absence.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Lao Tzu.
What do squirrels give for Valentine’s Day? Forget-me-nuts. Did Adam and Eve ever have a date? No but they had an apple. What is a ram’s favourite song on February 14th? I only have eyes for ewe, dear. Do skunks celebrate Valentine’s Day? Sure, they’re very scentimental. What is a vampire’s sweetheart called? His ghoul-friend.
A couple were having marital problems. They decided to do the right thing and contacted a marriage guidance counsellor. Several visits followed when lots of questions were asked and lots of listening carried out. Eventually the counsellor felt that he had discovered the main problem. He stood up, went over to the women and asking her to stand up, he gave her a huge cuddle. He turned to the husband and said ‘This is what your wife needs, at least once every day.’ The husband frowned, considered what had been said for a moment, then replied ‘Okay, what time do you want me to bring her back tomorrow?’

COCKTAIL OF THE MONTH
BIRTHDAY CAKE MARTINI X IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY, WE DON’T LOOK A DAY OVER 300, BUT TRUTH IS WE’RE 500. WHAT BETTER WAY TO CELEBRATE THAN A COCKTAIL THAT WILL MAKE US FEEL LIKE A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL.
INGREDIENTS
60ml /2 oz whipped vodka 45ml /1.5 oz amaretto 30ml /1 oz white chocolate liqueur 60ml /2 oz cream 100s and 1000s Honey
Begin with two shallow dishes. To one, add a teaspoon of honey. To the other, add the 100s and 1000s. Rim the edge of the martini glass first in the honey and then in the 100s and 1000s. Set aside. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, amaretto, white chocolate liqueur and cream. Shake vigorously. Strain into your prepared martini glass.
