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.
