Today being my birthday, I felt I was entitled to a mid-week cocktail on my arrival home. BUT! ALAS! No Ginger Ale!! The Narrow Escape is perilously low on mixers, although fairly well stocked on inherited gin, vodka, rum, bourbon, and tequila. Fresh mint and lime grow in the back yard. Being the MacGuyver that I am, I sprang into action, mixing some agave nectar with sparkling mineral water. A taste..mix again...Aaah, that's it! As I haven't mixed my favorite drink in some time (?), I had forgotten the requisite proportions of this tricky concoction. And, I was too thirsty to look it up on the ol' interweb. First taste indicated not enough gin, add gin, woah too much! Now more lime, more 'ginger ale'..THE KICK IS GOOD! Damn good thing I used my Honolua Surfco mug by Tiki Farm, that thing is massive. Not exactly Forbidden Island quality, but with the buzz I have now, I can't complain about a thing.
