St. Gym-main

Yesterday i came home and went into the bathroom, and there was Nanc (she doesn't believe in locks). So i went to the other bathroom, and while i'm in there there's a knock on the door:

Me: Yes?
Nanc: I'm done with the other bathroom if you want to use it.
Me: No, i think i'll just stay here.

How nice has the weather been? I mean beautiful. Last night when i was going to bed (at, like, 7) we all decided that tomorrow we'd sit outside and have cocktails. So today i made one of my favorites: The St. Germain Cocktail.

I get home from work and Nanc is like, "I'm going to the gym with Eileen and Carol at 5." and i was like, "Ok, we can have cocktails when you get back." and she's all, "Why wait? we can have a quick one now." Oh that Nanc.The she was like, "Make the quiche while i'm out." ...thanks.

Fill some glasses with ice:


But first! slice your lemon (of if you forgot to buy them, lime) twists. Like a pro!:


 or just hack away at a lime until you get three decent looking ones, oBvi fruit cutlery is not my specialty (with the exception of peaches, i can fucking cut those like a boss). Pour 1 1/2 part St. Germain (or a little more if you love is), 2 parts Champagne, and 2 parts club soda into a glass. Stir:


 Don't have any club soda?  No problem, just omit the ice and you've got yourself a St. Germain and Champagne! Which, is equally delicious but slightly less refreshing. Anyway... add twist, and: Wha-la!



Fucking delicious, right Phil?


Right. Harvey could care less (she probably didn't have any club soda). 


But Nanc is appeased. Then Harvey started acting adorable:


And i was like, "Pose for the camera Harvey!" And she was like:


...thanks.


So there you go! The perfect refresher after a long day at work or right before you go to the gym.

  1. I always like to warm up for the gym with a quick, refreshing cocktail. Also, if mom got the door closed it's cause for celebration.
