Ahhh, nothing says Christmas like Hemingway Daiquiris while putting up the tree while it snows
I know, Hemingway Daiquiris are more summer, but grapefruit were on sale today so that's what I'm going with.

What a blessed, restful, life-giving, relaxing Friday and now Friday night today is.

Hemingway Daiquiri:

1.5 oz. Light Rum
0.25 oz Maraschino Liqueur
0.75 oz Lime juice
0.25 oz grapefruit juice

Standard classic cocktail directions: shake with ice, serve straight up in a Martini glass.



Anyone who blends this one deserves to die and spend hell watching - I'd like to say stuck in hell watching American Idol, because that would be hell for me, but anyone who blends their daiquiri is more than likely a fan of American Idol, and so the punishment is to spend eternity in hell listening to Beethoven, Bach, Yes, and watching the choreography of Pina Bausch, Twyla Tharp and Chandralekha.

1. I'll take that hell: I saw Baryshnikov dance Twyla Tharp's "Push Comes to Shove"

OMG. He was phenomenal. Exquisite. Truly Amazing.

What a memory. So much for hell. I'll take it!

2. Excellent! Big of Twyla myself.
Though I know of her almost exclusively through Einstein on the Beach and some other dances she did to Glass' music.

I know Bausch and Chandreleckha better.

All brilliant.

4. I suppose because of the grapefruit
You could say that's a drink for an Old Man and the Vitamin C.
