Then add ice cubes in the blender until the ice cubes are no longer lumpy and it's the right frozen consistency and enjoy.<BR/><BR/>The rum and limeade ratio depends on how strong (or not!) I want it.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951302096900927727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35532892.post-39803985060780296312007-09-12T13:05:00.000-07:002007-09-12T13:05:00.000-07:00Excellent, Cathy.

Pour strained liquor into sugar-rimmed martini glass and garnish with a twisted peel of lemon.<BR/><BR/>NOTE: To create a sugar-rimmed glass, take a lemon wedge and rub the drinking surface of the glass so it is barely moist. Dip the edge of the glass into sugar.Cathy Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09755004700955618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35532892.post-89747290948210464342007-09-12T10:55:00.000-07:002007-09-12T10:55:00.000-07:00Come on, folks, don't just tempt and tease me.

My favorite is double chocolate porter. Seriously! Chocolate beer. Rich tasting and delicious.<BR/><BR/>I'm not fond of most mixed drinks, but I recently had fun experimenting with gin gimlets. The heroine in my first book gets a little tipsy on them! I even posted a recipe and some fun gimlet trivia on my website.<BR/><BR/>Fun topic, Susan!<BR/><BR/>Lee<BR/><BR/>PS: I hope this doesn't end up being posted twice.
