Alicia is hosting Thirsty Thursday's link-up today. You should join!
We talk about boozes we have drank, are drinking now, and will be drinking in the future.
Get some ideas and tell her your fave!
My drink today is a twist on an old timey favorite: the Tom Collins
I <3 Mr. Collins
And lucky for me, Bayou has a family that loves Tom as much as I do and they have adjusted his ingredients to, dare I say, make it even MORE delicious.
But I'll do it two ways (that's what she said)
The good ole' stand by and our modification.
Ready? Go!
My Way:
Into a shaker: 2 oz Gin (I prefer Hendrick's)
1.5 oz FRESH lemon juice
1 oz Simple
Dash of Maraschino cherry juice
Shake that shit up with some ice, ice baby
Strain into a high ball glass
Top with 7-Up
Garnish with a cherry and orange slice
Drink 10 of them.
Their Way:
Into a high ball glass: 1.5 oz gin (They suggest Tanquery)
1 oz lemon juice
.5 oz simple
Stir
Top with Seltzer
Garnish with lemon wedge and cherry......
MINE IS WAY MORE FUN.
DO IT.
And then you'll end up looking like this:
TBag. Out.
