Sometimes you just need a strong drink. You know those kind of weeks when things just aren’t going your way and everyday feels 8 hours longer than it should be. Yeah, that’s when I lose the fruit and make something quick and strong. This little number, which is from the latest issue of Remedy Quarterly, was originally called the Post-Courtroom Martini, to be drunk after a stressful situation. Luckily I didn’t have to visit the courtroom this week, but it still fit the bill. It’s the perfect remedy for a tough week.
Cheers! To the weekend, relaxing and more relaxing.

Oh man, I could also use a stiff drink after this week. Here’s to a relaxing weekend and a better week next week!

Nice. I think a lot of us coud use a stiff drink after this week. Mine is going to have to be a gin martini, not vodka, though, because that’s how I roll (& because all my vodka is currently being used up in schnapps-making…)
