It’s finally Friday, I’m goofing around this afternoon and avoiding mowing the lawn, so come hang out by the frog pond with a cocktail, music, and good times with friends…
Read more… [edit
This week, we’re hanging by the pondside patio at the Frog Pond Cafe:
And look, Darwin thinks this is his pad:
*Can I get you a drink? I’m having an “aquatic themed drink” today…
The best thing about this drink, created by Blue Fin in New York City, is it’s fun garnish: Swedish fish.
INGREDIENTS
1 ounce Absolut Citron or other lemon-infused vodka (Sven, you can use Koskenkorva!)
2 ounces Hypnotiq Liqueur
1/2 ounce white-cranberry juice
Swedish fish candy for garnish (Do they make Finnish fish? pun intended)
In a shaker, combine 1 ounce Absolut Citron, or other lemon-infused vodka, 2 ounces Hypnotiq Liqueur, 1/2 ounce white-cranberry juice. Shake well and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a Swedish Fish candy.
And how about some music? Here’s one of my faves, Pink Martini (you can click the radio and listen to both of their albums), and here’s a link to a live stream from my local radio station.
And my froggy joke for this week:
Mother: “What does the cow say?”
Child: “Moooo!”
Mother: “Great! What does the cat say?”
Child: “Meow.”
Mother: “Oh, you’re so smart! What does the frog say?”
The wide-eyed little 3 year old looked up at her mother and said, “Bud.”
So, come on, tell us all what’s happening in your life? What good stuff happened this week, or why are thankful it’s over? Any fun plans for the weekend?
And as Sven Triloqvist likes to say, “May the 4s be with you…”
