Dwaine got me hooked on an alcoholic drink that’s light, refreshing, perfect for summer, but I can never remember the recipe even tho it only calls for, like, 2 ingredients. I tried to order it myself somewhere once, and it didn’t come out right. After talking to Dwaine afterwards, it turned out that having lime instead of lemon in this drink made it bitter. But the bartender, for some reason, always puts in a lime wedge unless you specify otherwise. So if you like mojitos but don’t want to deal with the sugar content, or don’t want to wait for the bartender to grind up mint leaves, you’d love this:
“Can I get a Citron and tonic, light on the tonic, with a lemon, not lime? Yes, on the rocks.”
That’s how Dwaine says you have to order it, and that’s how he ordered it for me at dinner on Tuesday evening. We had to ask for extra lemon (they use flimsy little lemon smithereens, but once you ask for extra lemon on the side, they give you the large wedges used in iced tea), but it was delish! And that’s Absolut Citron vodka. That’s what I’m gonna be drinking all this Memorial Day long weekend.
Mr. W may appreciate the humor of that unless you IM him. 😛
You mean he may NOT appreciate the humor of that unless I IM him? I’m not sure *I* appreciate the humor in that. This post is funny? I’m so confused. But then again, I was confused already cuz I couldn’t figure out why, in this photo, you look like Andrae and Andrae looks like you, altho you’re in your own shirts.
I swear I’m not drunk yet.
DOH!! I meant type this under the “Mr. W’s Early Birthday Present” blog. I’m not so good at multi-tasking.
Oh, okay. Lemme imagine your comment in THAT context then.
*thinking hard*
Oh, haha! That’s funny! Good one, Dwaine!
*sideglance*
=)
Now that I’m thinking about it, if I IM my imaginary conversation to Mr. W, I wonder if he’ll take it as another attempt of mine to break up with him. Hmm. But because everyone already yelled at me about doing that the first time, I’m not gonna test it out.
Hey isnt that the drink you tried to order once with me. I dont think the mix was right you mentioned. I think it did come with lime . That’s probably why you thought it was “off”
Hey, I think you’re right, I WAS with you when I tried to order that. Dwaine wanted to know why I didn’t just call him before I ordered, and I told him that I DID call him, and he didn’t pick up. Of course he called back right AFTER I got the drink, took a sip and made a face, and told me I got the lemon/lime wrong.
and a good bartender will use simple syrup to sweeten the drink rather than sugar, to ensure an homogenous solution.
right, cuz we wouldn’t want to deal with any colloidal suspension issues.
