Flowery oilcloth coasters catch drips from icy cocktails. These coasters are made like miniature versions of our place mats; let the pattern of your cloth dictate the shape of the coaster. With a large floral motif, for example, simply cut along the outline of a single bloom, and then back it with a solid color. These coasters blossom under some of our own favorite chilled drinks: Meyer lemon drops (left front and rear), served in glasses with sugar-coated rims; a peachmopolitan (right front), garnished with a fresh peach slice; and a frozen pink salty dog (right rear), with a classic salt rim and a wedge of pink grapefruit.
