Thursday's 109 - It's Summertime....

June......it's the month of the longest day of the year and as far as I'm concerned, the start of Summer, and since some of us are gearing up for the big trip to LA, here's a drink in Gini's honour. (since she likes rum.....)

Naranjita

i n g r e d i e n t s
1 ounce light Puerto Rican rum
2-3 ounce ginger ale
1 ounce orange juice
orange slices for garnish
carambola (star fruit) for garnish


h o w t o m i x
Combine all ingredients, pour over ice in a highball glass and garnish with orange slices and star fruit.

Serving glass: Highball glasses

I'm going out back to hose down the patio furniture and get it ready for the partee. After that, I'll make some hot crab dip to get us started.

Can someone please give that jukebox a kickstart and get this Summer partee rolling. :)

...and as my late Grandmother used to say on the first day of each month.....WHITE RABBITS!

I so totally agree with your Grandmother Slick, wise woman. :D :D Yes Gini does like rum. Of course she likes apple-tinis too. Of course she likes white wine too. Of courjeu48ty945847 *sorry, someone just threw a shoe at me* OUCH! ;)

You would really believe it's summer if you were down here. It's humid as hell. So, lets make sure to have plenty of ice in those drinks. I've also got some cold watermellon sliced and ready to eat. Sounds like it will be a wonderful party.

Slick, I can use a couple of those drinks! For some strange reason the boss still thinks I'm young. He thinks I can cut grass for eight hours straight. I'm pooped!

Pssst....not to mention slushies....not to mention Bailey's.... ;)
DDM....it's humid up here too. I feel your sweat......
Yup, got lots of ice to melt away the heat. DONE! Thanks for the watermelon. ;)
David, DONE & DONE! You are only as young as you feel. Age....it's just a number.

Hot crab dip served. Help yourself. I'm going into a meeting in about 10 minutes so you might be on your own for a bit. Can someone look after Mario? He's got a fresh diaper on so shouldn't be much trouble.

Slick, I'll keep an eye on him. I'll make sure I hide the cherries!

Noooo!!! Please, no more rabbits....of any color! Two of my roses have just a teeny tiny hint of a bud on them and it would be sooo nice if that bud did not turn into a certain uppy eared critter's dinner. :rolleyes:

DOTD sounds yummy! Extremely busy here :rolleyes: so sorry but, gotta drink and run! :)

Well, I can see that my reputation precedes me here............

But, Slick, you have outdone yourself with that recipe for

Naranjitas. I can even pronouce it all by myself!

Laurie, come over here, I want to talk to you!:D :D :D

Debbie....

Speaking of rabbits....remember these???

Perhaps I should send Edwina over for a visit....
