Today’s drink is the melon-ball.
A classic that taste’s surprisingly like fresh Honeydew the standard recipe calls for:
2 oz Midori® melon liqueur
1 oz Absolut ® vodka
4 oz Dole ® pineapple juice
The economy version substitutes Dekuyper ® melon liqueur, Monarch ® vodka, and store brand pineapple juice. The foo-foo version, the fuzzy melon-ball, uses peach schnapps in place of vodka. The alcoholic’s version uses equal parts of vodka, melon liqueur, and pineapple juice.
The think (thought) for the day is the economics of drinking out.
Saving money for a cab is relatively easy. Assume there are two people in your party. The cost of a cab one-way is most likely only equal to the cost of 2-3 drinks in total. This means that if you can each avoid 1-2 drinks at bar prices, you’ve paid for your ride home. You can do this by pre-drinking (each have 1-2 drinks before you head out). Another solid option is the 151-coke. In most bars this will cost you the same or 50 cents more than a well drink but you’ll only need half as many to have the same effect.
Today’s link is the story of Jeffrey Perrotte (http://www.drinkdriveprison.com/)
Jeff reaches out from prison in California, where he was convicted to serve a life sentence for killing someone while driving drunk.
