Teacup Martini

 
My dreams of creating my own speakeasy were dashed by this quarantine, but I can still serve a prohibitiion-style cocktail-in-a-teacup. A gin-tea-ni in my grandmother's old Noritake cups. Speaking of which, Japan has three times Canada's population and one third the Covid cases. Go, Japan!
