Lazy week...

Alright I admit it... This past week I have been big time lazy! I have as they use to say in the Army walking around with my head deep in my fourth point of contact. i never did understand why my ass was the fourth point as when I fall it is usually directly on my ass or my head depending on a number of variables: total alcohol consumed, wind direction and speed, slant of standing surface, pace of movement and if music is involved and the list goes on and on.


So a couple of weeks ago I put the Blanco Mango, Habanhero and Cucumber Tequila into play and it was a huge hit with some and with others not so much. The combination really was a hit or miss type of deal. However I was really liking the tequila creation as apposed to my usual vodka infusions. As we inch ever so closer to May I figured it is a good idea to stay on this kick. May for me means Jimmy Buffet, salted rims, sunshine with hopes of a warm summer, Easter Sunday and Cinco de Mayo! More over spending Easter Sunday with my entire family makes me want to drink tequila. Many of my drinks lately have been a bit time consuming and involved. This week a quick trip to the liquor store will get you pretty much all you will need. This drink is the Pinata and although the name itself invokes ideas of belligerently beating the snot out of a defenseless paper mache animal or some pain in the ass who really works on your last nerve with a stick till candy pours out of their ass, I like to use it for more therapeutic purposes. So grab a glass and have a sweet spot in the sun all picked out to take a nap after.
