So I have decided to start a new blog with a more directed purpose: exploring the world of mixed drinks. After my first Midori Sour, I knew there was a world out there that didn't suffer from beer-induced hangovers (seriously, most beers are disgusting). Or is that just an opinion? It doesn't matter.
I'm exploring HTML so if that is also a fail, my apologies.
THE COSMOPOLITAN:
what a curious name behind a widely popular drink. Three things come to mind: 1) the galaxy forced into a small cocktail glass 2) the incredibly unhelpful and usually contradictory magazine Cosmo 3) what cities were called, and still are referred to I suppose, back when skyscrapers were still breath-taking. I'm pretty sure the 3rd choice is most appropriate, especially since after drinking a cosmo I did not feel a strong urge to question whether my boyfriend was right for me (I just felt like jumping him; and I didn't feel like wasting my time with "sex tips" either).
[Ingredients: 1 pt triple sec; 1 pt cranberry juice; 2 pts vodka; splash of lime.] Results: very delicious, very pink drink. I believe triple sec is a type of orange liqueur, but I'm still unsure. First mixed, the drink burned a little, so to be more
precise, bump 1 pt cranberry juice to 1.5. Let's be serious: the best drinks are the ones that are just
diluted enough to let you forget you're swallowing fire.
