Both the party itself, with all the prep work, and the building of, and hanging of a screen door built from scratch. I am exhausted. I think my wife appreciated the party and all of the accoutrements. The cheese selection, and fancy baguettes went over well. Could have held off on the veggie tray/fruit tray, but I’m glad to have offered the choice anyway. We didn’t end up needing pizza. The white wine from Yellow Tail, a Pinot Grigio was well received too. Glad I had it on hand, chilled of course. First time we’ve busted out the wine glasses. Had to wash the dust off of them. Haven’t been used since they were opened after the wedding. Not wine drinkers. Good times.
I didn’t get a chance to make the signature drink, as everyone was driving elsewhere afterwards. But I’ll make myself one at some point soon. I’m anxious to see what the fuss was about. My mixing drinks history extends as far as OJ & Vodka, Cranberry & Vodka, Gin & Lime Juice, or Rum & Coke, or Rye & Coke. Two simple items for one delicious drink. Sex on the beach however, requires Peach Schnapps, Lemon Vodka, Orange juice, Cranberry cocktail, and possibly also a splash of Sprite/7Up. Mixed with shaved Ice like a slushie. That seems complicated, but also, potentially – delicious? I’m hopeful for it to be my new go to for the summer months moving forward. Though it’ll be damn near impossible to knock daiquiris off of that pedestal. My true alcoholic beverage champion. Though a chilled Radler comes in the top five, for sure.
The second party of the weekend starts soon, so I need to get things set up at the in-laws. Ciao bella!
