Tipsy-less Tuesday

honestly, i feel like i’ve been drinking for a week straight.  wait, i HAVE been drinking for a week straight!  i can not, in good conscience, post this week’s tipsy tuesday cocktail.  so instead, read this article on the health benefits of water: http://www.thedietchannel.com/Top-4-Benefits-of-Drinking-Water.htm  yes, i’m serious!

and of course, i will post soon on the adventures of atlanta gay pride!!! 

but first, i must catch up on a (huge) pile of work, read my favie bloggers latest posts, gather my thoughts and come out of this mental seclusion bubble i’ve been in. 

oh, and tonight… the ATLANTA DREAM game!!!!!!  i hope they play as hard as they did during that last game against the mystics.  i will likely have me a little drinkey-drink… my fave at the phillip’s arena?  grey goose with a splash of peach schnapps and a splash of pineapple.  ooooohwee!

Tipsy Tuesday

so y’all know that i started using the “random drink” generator (at webtender.com) to pick our tipsy tuesday cocktail.  and honestly, this one… i’m not sure about. 

Kahlua Sour

---

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz Kahlua
• 1 oz Lemon juice
• 1 1/2 tsp Sugar

Mixing instructions:

Mix Kahlua and lemon juice, add sugar and enjoy.

i don’t know…, maybe it’s just me but the kahlua i know is creamy and goes best with coffee-ish mixers.  but then again, i’m all for the unexpected!

and in other news, it was really cool dating & living with a bartender.  i’m just sayin’.

it’s every lush’s favie day of the week again!

and i can’t even lie, folks… i was tipsy most of this past weekend.  i had the tiniest vodka night cap last night… just to fall asleep, of course.  but, i’m taking it easy until the weekend (thursday does count as the weekend, right?)

but for those of you partaking, have one for me!  and btw, i have no idea what “filbert’s” is.

(as usual, today’s recipe is from webtender.com)
