What are you drinking tonight?

[inane]

Finishing off that whiskey

[anarchir]

There's a sugar-free version of the non-cola Red Bull.  Of course it doesn't taste all that great, but you know...they never do.

As for what I'm drinking...pomegranate limeade from Trader Joe's. 

It's sitting in the fridge for tomorrow night. Tonight, I'll be trying sugar-free Wired.

Thus far, they are all about the same. Flavored water in brightly colored cans. I do believe the can does more to keep you awake than does the actual contents.

Probably.  I drank four sugar-free Red Bulls in one night and fell right asleep.   

Red Bull has the same effect on me. The last time I had one I finished  the can then promptly passed out.

For the last of my seven midnight shifts, I saved the granddaddy of them all, the king, the one that started the entire energy drink fad, raging Red Bull. No wings, at least none that I could detect. Maybe half a wing. But then, an emu has wings too, but it can't get off the ground.

Tonight, I'm off, and so it's on to other things. Rum, for instance.

[Laetitia]

Tonight is cups of hot black coffee and glasses of ice water.
In approximately 2.5 weeks, I'll be enjoying limoncello:

Will top off the carafes with a bit of everclear tomorrow. Need to up the alcohol content a little from the 80 proof vodka, so that it doesn't freeze after I add the simple syrup in 10 days.

I think you're not supposed to use any of the white part of the peel when making stuff like that. Makes it bitter.

I'd start over with a handle of Everclear and just use a lemon zester to get the top part of the peel only.

Yeah, I know, I'm a spoilsport.

Not a spoilsport. I adjusted as I went. Grabbed the wrong peeler when I started the 2nd bottle. After the first lemon, I switched back to the peeler I used yesterday & got it pretty thin. Very little pith.
I was going to use the zester, but read conflicting recipes that said I needed to use more lemons if zesting instead of peeling. So, I opted for thick skinned lemons, so I had an easier time skimming the peeler across the top.

Just in case though, I'll check the first bottle before adding the sugar, to make sure it's not bitter. Don't need it until close to end of June, so I'll have time to start over.

That sounds nice. 

A long while back, a friend of mine had this big brown upright cooler, with a spout on it.  Like an upright suitcase, kinda, but plastic.  We filled it with chopped up watermelon, maraschino cherries, cans of chunked pineapple, a couple gallons of vodka, and a big bottle of Everclear.  It went over well.  But I always knew something was missing - lemon zest. 

We set it on the edge of the kitchen table, pouring cups from the spout.  Smoked a fuck-ton of dope.  Then my girlfirend started dirty-drinking off the spout, letting it pour down her tits.  Then my friend Scott went outside and beat some guy with a raingutter downspout, while the girlfriend gave a bunch of people blowjobs.  There was a lot of the booze left, so I filled a big 2-liter bottle and left.  There was bound to be cops soon. 

I think that was the Summer of the Blue Mustang.  Yeah!  Because then I started fuckin' Lori - who i met at someone's wedding (no clue whos wedding it was), and she wore the lycra camel-toe shorts in the Mustang, and then I wrecked it, dumped Lori, and got the Monte Carlo.  I think.

But anyway, Everclear - gotta watch that stuff.
