The rain lilies are happy, and I am enjoying the rain with a paper plane. So happy the rainy season has arrived at last.
What are y’all drinking?
This was last week’s blueberry basil margarita.
Made the syrup with blueberries and agave and basil in a pot, heated and then strained.
2oz Espolon
1oz Cointreau
1oz lime juice
1oz syrup
Shaken and strained over ice in a salt rimmed glass
Garnish with fresh blueberries (which sorta sank), basil and lime wedge
Yesterday I had some icetea with Ukranian vodka and also tried icetea with dark rum.
The vodka is good stuff, but didn’t fit the tea, the dark rum was way better.
But it just confirmed to me why I don’t really drink alcohol during summer, I get too warm and are having trouble sleeping later.
The drinking should come after the parking, as is tradition
Lol, my daughter had the car, but our driveway is an odd shape, that’s not the road.
I went with a classic Moscow Mule tonight. Been a while since I’ve had one and I love the bite of the ginger beer.
Sazerac; raining here too
Classy!
My mint is going crazy so I had a mojito. I’m thinking julip for tonight.
Milk, with my cat.
I might go get the stuff to make one of those myself. I was just about to make a trip to the liquor store and have been feeling like a Paper Plane lately.
It’s hot as hell where I am, though. I wish it was raining lol.
Raining again! I am going to make this, but am completely out of tequila so probably substitute bourbon (or maybe leave it out), and my tepache doesn’t need sweetener. So I guess not exactly making this, but tepache and mezcal, anyway.
