I tough weekend to be sure - but quite therapeutic - we spent the weekend purging. If you remember my post about things - then you will recall that I have been blessed {most likely temporarily} with the gift to just let go. And so we did. But if you linger too long on things - they tend to find a safe haven in the hidden depths of a miscellaneous cardboard box destined for a attic. So, you just close your eyes and do it. Then, you take at page out of my friend Jen's handbook and mix yourself {or have your Dad do it} a concoction to put your mind elsewhere. In the case of this drink it is more likely sugar shock than inebriation. SO without further ado, I present The Cherry Bomb - my cocktail of choice - because there is no such thing as dinner before cocktail hour at my parent's house:
The Cherry Bomb:
~ 1 part lemon Vodka
~ 2 parts grenadine
~ 3 part tonic water
Combine in a chilled shaker with ice; pour into rocks glass full of crushed ice - insert skewer full of cherries and suck it down.
