Long time, no blog! I've gone through many moons since we last spoke. There was a health kick. And a dry period. Many, many books. Some traveling. And some big life changes. All of these things have kept me from you. However, I'm back, bitches!
Let's keep this brief. It's midnight on a school night and I've had a decent amount to drink. But I have an exciting book to talk about:
Punch Bowls and Pitcher Drinks!
I have had this book for quite some time and, as discussed above, have not had the time to pick a drink, force it on my friends, and write about it. Until tonight.
I arrived at Jerssica's house to spend some quality Sunday Funday time with the Jerssicas. I figure, what better time to make a big batch cocktail.
After hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of flipping through the book (this book is a mere 100 pages WITH PICTURES) we settled on the Lychee Mojito Punch. And no, I didn't make a drink from the "LAZY SUNDAYS" section. That'd be too easy.
This recipe says it serves four, so obviously I doubled it. Actually, I kind of tripled it? See, I doubled it at first, but then it seemed like mostly solids (lychee, limes, mint) and not enough liquids (rum.... and rum). So I added more rum.
These drinks were STRONG. Each of us had two and boy oh boy, I'm not quite sure WHAT happened on True Detective tonight. We all agreed that it could use more lime, and maybe even more lychee. But that's probably because of the addition of the extra rum. Overall it was pretty refreshing.
The whole book is nice. It's not super extensive, but there were a lot of tasty sounding drinks, enough that it made it hard to choose just one. There's also some yummy looking photos.
So let's see if I can remember the rating system:
Would I talk about this book when drunk? Yeah, so I took some time to be SUPER HEALTHY and I didn't drink much. So obviously I didn't talk about any books at this time. JUST KIDDING, I talked about books non stop. I was just sober. I think this book even came up. Something like, "Once I start drinking again, I have to make everyone cocktails!"
Would I recommend this book while drunk? Eh.
