So I've been a bit quiet over the last 2 or so weeks - I've been battling some kind of annoying unpredictable lurgy. It keeps coming and going - just when I think it's gone after several days of feeling fine, I wake up feeling like death again. Hrumph.
Fortunately it decided to behave itself on Friday - however I think this is the first time I've organised an event that enables me to complete an item on my list of things to do before I die completely unintentionally. My sister and I decided to have a small flat warming to celebrate our mold free residence. After much contemplation we decided to make it a cocktail party. However, it wasn't until a few days before the party that I remembered that #51 on the list was "invent a cocktail". Awesome.
Grace and I threw ourselves into this challenge with gusto and a complete lack of fear. The first attempt was a daring mix of amaretto, malibu, rum, orange juice and lime. Named a sleazy hawaiian, it was pretty good. But we didn't stop there. Next was a spin on a springbok (baileys and creme de menthe) made with chocolate cream instead of the baileys. This was followed by a martian sunset (like a tequila sunrise but with rum instead of whatever you normally but in with the tequila). However, I refined my choice down to a simple combination by the end of the night - amaretto, orange juice and a reaaaaaally generous amount of lime (1/4 - 1/2 a lime). I hereby name this tasty combination a "number 51". Mmmmmmmmmmm. A very enjoyable way to complete an item on the list....
