Drink Of The Week: K.I.S.S.

September 1, 2011 Sylvia Bee No Comments

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.

Where You Should Drink This:
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.
