I am not a lush, I swear.
So if the readers of this blog are anything like my mother, every time I mention having a drink/trying a new cocktail, you are adding up precisely how many cocktails I have had in the past week, month, 6 months, year… and you may be thinking I am a lush. I just wanted to clarify, for the record, I am not. Just, you know, to clarify. Thanks!
Anyway, last night, we tried vodka gimlets. We also tried pomegranate martinis (blech!) and pomegranate cosmopolitans (slightly more drinkable) but neither of those were anything to write home about, so on with the good stuff.
Apparently there are about 2398294724 million different ways to mix a gimlet. We went with the version that is 4:1 vodka to Rose’s lime juice with a lime wedge garnish that we squeezed into the glass. In a word, YUM. Drinks I usually like are: vodka martini, vodka tonic with lime or a real margarita on the rocks* so if you have similar tastes, this is a must try.
*and let’s not forget cabernet… OMG maybe I AM a lush. Well, someone’s allowed to have a favorite wine, right?
