where’s my drink?
Wine charms, while fun to make and often a delightful little adornment on one’s wine (or martini) glass, are so…yesterday.
Alas, wine charms do serve a tremendously useful purpose — keeping your beverage from getting lost in the crowd.
But, what if your cocktail-container doesn’t have a stem?
Use your handy lime zester to engrave each guest’s initial into their drink’s lime. For the truly talented, try engraving a mini portrait or drawing (daisy, cat’s face, heart, sun, bumble bee…you get the idea). Thanks Better Homes & Gardens for this clever, creative tip just in time for all those Cinco de Mayo margaritas.
Of course, the wine charm still has its place. Who would want a glass of wine with a lime in it?! Rubber Romance Stamps (creator of very lovely stamps) has a clever wine charm tutorial using stamps and shrink plastic.

Stamping is an instant gratification craft and anyone can do it. Sometimes, though, with the abundance of ink choices available it can be a little overwhelming to figure what ink to use.
