A Fruity Cocktail and a Lazy Cat

June 14, 2012

It was really hot today. I was useless and got nothing done which was a problem because I had a lot to get done today. Yup, it was a crazy day. Around 7:30pm, it became clear that a fruity cocktail was exactly what I needed. So I scavenged through the kitchen. We didn’t have much, but we had a couple of things.

For starters, I had a glass and I had ice. And a lazy cat napping on the futon (in the background) that hadn’t moved for at least an hour. She’s hot too.

I also had the key ingredient, Limoncello.

I tried a tiny bit of this straight up the other day and to me it was like drinking Jaeger. Blech. And so I added the fruity part.

Yea, it’s really sweet and fruity. Of course fresh squeezed lemon juice and simple syrup would make this better, but this is what I had on hand, and it was quick. So I tossed it all together and threw some fresh squeezed lemon on top, and voila! My fruity cocktail. Just perfect for a hot summer night.

Note that the cat still has not moved. Lazy cat. Yea, you! Wake up! Eh, never mind, go back to sleep.
