It’s almost summer. And in the post vax world, it’s time to fire up the grill and have friends over for a cookout. I’m planning my first get-together in over a year. On the menu is @Elliecoo’s Savory Cheesy Pepper Jelly Appetizer Cookies, Elote Corn Salad, and Fajita Burgers. I found the perfect drink to serve on The Alcohol Professor blog, the Social Cooler from Union Burger in Southampton, NY.
- 1.75 oz tequila infused with jalapenos
- 1.75 oz watermelon puree
- .5 oz margarita mix
Shake and serve over ice. I intend to mix up a frosty pitcher.
Got any party plans, Deadsplinters?
That drink looks delicious! And pretty!
Doesn’t it? I love all things watermelon.
@Hannibal that drink looks delicious. Do you deliver? (asking for the entire DeadSplinterati).
Of course, I’ll even mix it table side for you.
no plans here…no sirree mister policeman officer
No plans is often how I end up in trouble. I require a lot of structure, lol.
i think i may be much the same….
when i have work to worry about im pretty well behaved
then the weekend happens
Poor impulse control and too much free time is a bad combination! Talking about myself, not you.
whats impulse control?
talking about myself not you 🙂
Heading over to have dinner with friends tonight. Everybody’s vaccinated so time to have some fun.
Have fun @bryanlsplinter!
That looks good. I don’t have any tequila but a quick search shows versions with watermelon, rum and lime, which may get mixed up soon…
I’m sure rum would work,or vodka. Enjoy!
Drink beer, watch basketball, & try to look just busy enough I don’t have to spend my whole weekend in the garden. We moved 4 yards of compost last weekend & still have 1 left. I brewed a new batch of beer for when my Hawaii friend visits in a few weeks, 2nd dryhop charge went in today and currently it is about 5.5% alc. Hoping it will get to 6 or 6.5 when it is done fermenting but has slowed down significantly so may need some encouragement. On tonight’s beer menu…

Friends coming to visit! The post vax world is gonna be fun.
I just measured and I still have six inches of sweater to knit before I can move on to another. It’s like 10 rows to the inch, so alot. Despite my crappy pruning skills the early roses are putting on a show so I am literally stopping to smell the roses. I much prefer being the visitor, that way I can leave when I want. Guests are so bothersome, they just don’t know when to go home!
I’d rather people came to my home, then I can drink more since I don’t have to drive. But there is that weird area where it goes from being the perfect visit to awkwardly too long. People should have a built in sensor of some sort that indicates when you’re about to overstay your welcome.
Like when the hostess falls asleep? Because I’ve had people keep droning on and not notice I was asleep.
Beer. And whiskey.
I’m not really a beer drinker but there are times on a hot day where an icy cold wheat beer is very satisfying.
I would drink more beer if my restrooms were on the first floor…
