This Thursday was just too hot to make a cocktail! With temps hitting 99-100, I just cracked open a bottle of wine. Which is fine, it def hit the spot. But I did tune in to #GartenderChat on twitter and had a fantastic conversation with host @JaymeJenkins as we talked about Summer Entertaining and how to incorporate gardening into our cocktails and decorations. Check out the link for the transcript!
Let Me Get a 4-pk....of that Merlot
Ok, so I know that most people I come in contact with don’t or won’t have my level of wine & spirits knowledge of appreciate. I get that, it’s cool. But if you’re going to be around me for any period of time, or in my world, you have to be willing to at least try some things and sound like you have some sense.
So, I’m out with this guy right…gonna try to look past the fact that for a 1st ‘date’ place to get a drink and a bite to eat, he decided that a pool hall was appropriate. No, he doesn’t know how to play pool. Gonna also look past the ordering of a full glass of scalding hot water so he could wash his silverware at the table. How am I able to overlook this you ask? I have a glass of some mixed drink with all the Absolut flavors and cranberry juice. That helps.
Date over.

Thirsty Thursday - Pineapple-Infused Rum
I have been on it with these infusions lately! Pineapples are such a nice fruit in the summer and rum is just nice anytime. Put them together, add an umbrella…Hey Summer!!
Ingredients:
2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
2 cups golden rum
3 tablespoons sugar
Club soda, for topping
Lime wedges, for serving
Directions:
Combine the pineapple, rum and sugar in a bowl or pitcher. Refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 3 days. Strain the rum, reserving the pineapple. Serve over ice with a splash of soda, a few pieces of the pineapple and several lime wedges.
Also tasty with Tonic or Coke or Juice or Sprite or….
Chug!!
