It's warmer from worlds away...

It has been a very strange last couple of days.

I received some very foreboding news on Monday, and while I'm trying to stay positive, it has been difficult. 

My life seems to be getting more complicated.

I guess that's what I get for "growing up."

I'm going to try to arrange a lovely trip to Chicago soon.

I need some best friend time for sure.

On another note, my parents suggested that I take bartending classes, and offered to pay for them. 

Crazy.

I think I might take them up on that one.

Because knowing how to make fabulous drinks with equally fabulous names is always a good skill to have.

My personal favorite drinks, and how to make them:

White Russian-

2 oz vodka 

1 oz coffee liqueur

1 oz cream

Mix over ice and serve.

Captain and Coke-

4 oz rum

8 oz Coke

Mix and serve over ice.

Colorado Bulldog-

1 oz vodka

1 oz coffee liqueur

1-2 oz milk

1 splash Coke

Mix in a shaker everything except Coke.

Pour into glass over ice and add Coke.

Vodka Red Bull-

2 oz vodka

1 small can Red Bull

Mix and serve over ice.

Mojito-

1.25 oz Rum

12 mint leaves

1 T. sugar

0.5 oz lime juice

2 oz soda water

Place mint leaves at bottom of glass.

Add crushed ice, and all ingredients.

Garnish with mint leaves and serve.

My favorite drink names:

Dead Nazi-

2/3 oz peppermint liqueur

2/3 oz Jagermeister

Pour peppermint liqueur into a shot glass and add Jagermeister.

Fuzzy Navel-

3 oz orange juice

3 oz peach schnapps

Combine ingredients and pour over ice in a tall glass. 

Garnish with orange slice.

Slippery Nipple-

1/2 oz butterscotch schnapps

1/2 oz irish cream

Mix and serve as is.

Okie... Now that I've encouraged everyone to drink, I'm going to have (a drink or five) a shower, watch a movie, and try to clear my mind for the night.
