Nothing like a hot, humid day to bring out the inventor in me.
I've been out-and-about all day today, and am too fucking tired and hot to walk to Mac's or 7-Eleven for a Slurpee.
So, with no electric fans in the house, and my central air conditioner being out of commission, how's a guy to keep cool?
Put on a pair of shorts? Done! Take off my shirt? Done.
I'm still too hot!
Well, how about making myself a drink?
I'm still on antibiotics, so martinis are out.
Let's see, checking the freezer, I still have a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream left. Still have a bit of Coca-Cola left... Why not make a float?
What the hell, I still have a mouthful of Wild Turkey left in the bottle on the counter... that shouldn't be enough to react with my medication...
So, I made myself a bourbon and coke ice cream float!
Not bad, if I do say so myself! I must remember to make more of these when my prescription is done and the antibiotics have left my system.
OK, now raise your glasses. It's time for a toast...
Here's to a long, hot, humid summer!
Cheers ! I'll have to try that out. I have made a Cointreau float before but never thought of anything harder !
ReplyDeleteA Cointreau float? Never would have thought of that, sounds great - when combined with vanilla ice cream, I'd imagine it'd taste something like a Creamsicle.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely have to try that one out tonight!
Thanks, Mr. C!
I'll second that ... Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI have some Gentleman Jack here that I don't know what do with. Maybe I'll give that a try. But not today. Ugg.
