Friday Cocktails – September 22 2023

Sep 22, 2023 | Rita

Friday Cocktail - September 22 2023

Friday has rolled around again,which means it is time for Friday Cocktails! This week has been spent working and cooking for the recipes I will be sharing over the next few months. You would not believe how many recipes I have coming for y’all. Let me tell you the entire neighborhood is tired of the Halloween cookies but I did so well on them. I can’t wait for y’all to see them.

Would you believe that I have most of October through December written and scheduled? I haven’t been able to do that in so long I can’t remember how good it feels. All I have left are the Fridays and the Month in Review to do and I can’t do those until the last minute anyway. I feel as though a huge weight has been lifted. I don’t know why or how I have been able to get so much done in the last week but I am not going to question it at all.

This Week’s Cocktail

This week’s cocktail is the Long Island Ice Tea which as a southern gal I love. Making one is pretty simple.

  • 60 ml each vodka, gin, rum, tequila and triple sec
  • 120 ml lemon or lime juice
  • 50 ml gomme or sugar syrup (if we’re not using homemade, we like Monin’s version)
  • 500 ml cola
  • Lime slices, to garnish
  1. Fill a 1.5l jug about halfway with ice. Add the alcohol, lemon/lime juice and syrup to taste. Stir to combine then add the cola. 
  2. Fill four highball glasses with more ice and distribute the cocktail between the glasses. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.

    It sure has been a super fast week for me. Taking care of a loved one has kept me super busy this week. Lots of cooking, cleaning and running errands.

    This week seemed to go by ultra-slow, which gave me more time to get everything done. 🙂 (For once!)

    I had a physically painful week as my left knee is still hurting and I have yet to visit the doctor to find the cause. Also the discomfort and lack of mobility has me frustrated as I have been unable to complete the tasks that need doing

    I’m having a very tough time. My son is being discharged from the Navy after only 2 years and my daughter is having anxiety attacks. Last night I didn’t sleep a wink. I’m praying for better days.
