Let me preface this by saying I’ve already had one. And it was delicious.
I’m listening to the songs of my youth- Bryan Adams, Sting, U2….. Random songs from soundtracks…
Brian is fishing and I miss him dreadfully. Emma was in tears because really? The 10 hugs and kisses Brian gave her before he left are simply not enough and how is she supposed to sleep without hugs and kisses from her Daddy Brian NOW?
SOB.
I snuggled her to sleep, since when he’s gone she sleeps in with me, with the door locked and the gun quite handy. I never thought I’d be the type…
But I wasn’t ready to sleep. I’ve had quite the busy week and was just kinda fried. So I made one earlier to help me relax and then I figured what the hell? I kinda promised.
SO.
Get yourself a nice clean TALL glass. I don’t have fancy shmancy barware yet. I favor Pom tea glasses. Put on U2′s Original of the Species while you do the following steps.
You may notice in the back ground the lovely flowers Brian gave me on Wednesday, when I was having a bad day. He makes me smile.
Then…
GET SOME MINT!
This is pineapple mint which I have a little pot growing on my deck. I brought it in for tonight though. Its quite pretty with white and green stripes. And a pleasant pineappley flavor. Go figure, eh?
Yummy stuff, mint.
Take some mint, put it in the glass with some sugar:) I like a lot of sugar!
MMMM. Mint and sugar…..
NOW SMUSH it up REALLY GOOD! The handle of a wooden spoon works just fine for this. You want the mint to release its minty goodness into the sugar.
Like SO!
Now add some lime juice. I like lime juice- this is key lime juice I bought to make a pie.
That would be the damned pie that made me gain 2 lbs back.
Damn pie.
Yummyness.
Add ice….
and go and find your rum.
I use coconut rum, cause I love coconut. This is not expensive rum for I is kinda poor right now. Tastes the same as Bacardi though, really.
Resist the urge to get friendly with your rum.
Better things come from waiting! I PROMISE!
Add the rum to your carefully prepared glass!
Or you could just dump in half the bottle too. That TOTALLY WORKS!
Now add some club soda!
Mmmm. Fizzing bubbles!
Now go back to your mint plant! You need a sprig of mint to garnish your glass!
Garnish your glass….
And DRINK!
And then blog.

I so love him
I’m trashed with one drink, 11 shots in one hour?
You’d have to put me in the hospital I think…
I heart alcohol….

YOU TEASE! I’m dieting- No booze for me. *Cringe* I’d be a raging alcoholic if it wasn’t for the pounds booze pours on a body. Darn it all. hee hee.
HOLY COW! 11 shots! I’d be drunk for a week- Or dead. I had 4 shots the other night and I’m still missing my panties. I don’t even think I finished the 4th shot. More or less I think I pour it down my face (real classy).
Cheers Bella!

Mmmm… sounds good. I’ll give it a try sometime in the distant future. I’m giving my liver a break from booze for awhile. I seem to have been over-indulging lately. Shame on me.

I cheated and bought pre-made pomegranate mojitos from Fred Meyer. They were WAY too tame for my purposes in terms of alcohol content, so I fixed them up a little with some cream de menthe.
Shall definitely be trying it your way next time instead.
