Like Prince says, “I just want your extra time and your [insert meedley meedley guitar riff] kiss!” In this case, K.I.S.S. being the acronym for “Keep It Simple, Stupid!” And I really could use your extra time – when not writing insightful articles, I work as a theatre techie, and I am currently entering Tech Week. (For you laymen out there, that means a week of 10 – 12 hour rehearsal days during which we throw the actors, costumes, lighting and sound cues, quick changes, scenery moves, and last-minute emergencies into a blender, whizz’em around, and decant into what we hope is a full-fledged, audience ready product.)
So what with 12 things and another, I’ve been a bit busy. Of course, I’ve also needed to relax once I am done with the workday, so I have been Keeping It Simple with an alcoholic version of a favorite juice blend.
Drink Name:
Fauxwaiian Punch
Main Alcohol:
White Rum
Type of Glass:
Highball Glass
Who Should Drink This:
Anyone who has these ingredients handy.

At home…you have no time to go out.
What This Drink Says About You:
You may have forgotten the question, but you know the answer is rum.
Ingredients:
1 ½ oz. White Rum
Orange juice
Cranberry juice cocktail (NOT 100% juice, it won’t taste right)
How To Make The Drink:
Put a few big ice cubes in your glass. Pour in the rum. Fill with equal parts cranberry and OJ. Stir with a long straw, then use straw for sipping. See? The straw is a multi-tasker, just like you.
