It Can't Come Quickly Enough...
Finally, the weekend is here! But, unfortunately, this is the last day of the nice weather here in Chicago-land for the next couple of days. The clouds are already rolling in. This week has been pretty blah for me so this grey weather coming is a great way to finish it off. And, just in time, it's cocktail day! (ROUND OF APPLAUSE) I'm going to savor this. Next week is going to be a busy one for me. But, let's not think of that. Instead, lets think happy yellow thoughts like the color of this wonderful martini.
THE RECIPE
Ingredients:
White Cranberry Juice: $3.49
Vodka: had (come on I'm Polish, I always have vodka)
Sweet & Sour Mix: $2.49
Meyer Lemon Juice: $3.29
Total: $9.27
THE RESULTS
FAST: I'm no Tom Cruise in Cocktail, but I can manage to throw this together in at least 5 minutes.
EASY: Like a Sunday morning.
FRESH: Lemon fresh.
Overall: I like that they call it a meyer lemon cosmopolitan, but they really should call this a lemon drop martini. Essentially, that's what this looks and tastes like. I can get a little of the cranberry, but the major flavor is lemon. Don't get me wrong, in either case this is DELICIOUS! I'm just saying if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck....
Tomorrow is a pie that I've never made before. I'm really looking forward to it. See ya tomorrow!

"Easy - like Sunday morning." You've got me singing that song now! LOVE the Commodores! I think I just dated myself with that statement!
P.S. - please no more pig head pictures!
Lemon, my very favorite. Looks so refreshing just going to have to make one, or two or.....Thanks Mark
Lordy that looks tasty. My favorite would be the lemon in it.
