Folow my lead and don’t update for a month and a half.
I’M SO SORRY. Ironically, a large part of why I haven’t been blogging is that I’ve been cooking and drinking and eating and drinking and drinking and drinking more often than usual (which… I mean, you have to do it every day to live, but still..) and as a result I’ve been 1. not taking pictures and 2. horribly hungover at work the next day, which makes it hard to post. And why does work have to start at 9 a.m. anyway??? Who invented this cruel, cruel system.
As an apology — a bad, half-assed apology, but an apology nonetheless — I offer you the recipe to my new favorite drink, which is some kind of mutant hybrid of a Gin Julep, a Gin & Tonic, and a Gin Mojito. Yes, it’s that delicious.
And also a promise to get back to blogging regularly and stop being such a foodie douche. APOLOGIES!!!
Ingrediants:
A nice handful of fresh mint
Up to one teaspoon of sugar (how sweet you want it is up to you)
One lime, sliced up. (You only need a wedge or two).
Ice (preferably crushed, but whatevs)
Gin
Tonic water
Method:
Combine your mint (you can rip the leaves up first if they’re huge) and your sugar in the bottom of a glass. Using a muddler, if you’re fancy, or a spoon/fork if you’re po’ like me, muddle/mush/crush the mint and the sugar together. Halfway through, add a thin slice of lime and continue to mush away. Add crushed ice. Add gin and tonice to your preference, stir, and garnish with lime wedge.
Lather, rinse, repeat until you can’t feel your face and the lightening bugs in your front lawn are particularly interesting.
