SUPER SONIC GIN AND TONIC

Friday, February 13, 2015

Valentine's Day is coming.  Did you know already?  Have you been bombarded with hearts, glitter and overpriced roses yet? 


It's a funny old day really.  I hated it at school, apart from one year when somebody slipped a handwritten card through my door.  I still don't know who sent it, but if it was you, you really made my day, thank you.

Anyway lets get back to the gin shall we.  

Valentine's Day in our house means husband is cooking and I am on cocktail duty.  The kids will be sent off to bed and we will light some candles, stick on the mix CD he made for me years ago (doesn't have quite the same ring as mix tape does it, but lovely non the less!), and enjoy the evening.  There will be no heart shaped table decorations and thank goodness for that, I will show my love in the form of the Super Sonic Gin and Tonic.  

Nothing says love like gin and tonic.   

NOTE: If you own a juicer because its the healthy thing to do and you couldn't possibly use it to make a cocktail just look at it this way; It's like getting healthy and a little tipsy all at the same time.  What could possibly be bad about that!!  

SUPER SONIC GIN AND TONIC
WHAT YOU NEED 
A juicer
A lime, peeled
Half a cucumber
Ice cubes
Tonic Water
Gin (I used Uncle Val's for this but Hendricks would be the other obvious choice for its partnership with cucumber is just too good to ignore!)

WHAT YOU DO
Juice the peeled lime and cucumber.  Now if you don't have a juicer you could blend the two together and strain the mixture to get rid of the bits.  
Place the zesty juice into two cocktail glasses.  Add a good (very good, your choice) measure of gin into the glass.  Add a couple of ice cubes and top off with a few splashes of tonic water.  Decorate with a lime slice and enjoy.  

Remember, healthy and tipsy- it's all good, I promise.

  4. Hi everyone!!!

    I'm so excited share this testimony here about how i got my ex husband back after a break up. I'm Clara 28 yr old from USA, Am a woman who love and cherish my husband more than any other thing you can imagine on earth continent. My husband was so lovely and caring after 3 years of marriage he was seriously ill and the doctor confirm and said he has a kidney infection that he needed a kidney donor, that was how I start searching for who can help, doctor has given me a periodic hour that he will live just 24 hours left, that was how I ask the doctor if I can be of help to my husband that was how he carried out the text, the confirming was successful, I was now having this taught that since 3 years now we got married I have not be able to get pregnant can I be able to get bring again? That was the question I ask the doctor, he never answer his response was did you want to lost your husband? I immediately reply no I can't afford to lose him. After the operation my husband came back to live and was healthy I was also OK with the instruction given to me by the doctor, after 3 months my husband came home with another lady telling me, that is our new wife that will give us kids and take care of us, that was how I was confused and started crying all day, that was how my husband ran away with his new wife cleanable. Since then I was confuse don't know what to do that was how I went back to the doctor and tell him everything, he told me that, this is not just an ordinary it must be a spiritual problem that was how he gave me this Email: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com that I should tell he all my problem that he can help that was how i contacted he and I do as instructed. After 28 hours and I have done what he ask me to do, my husband start searching for me and went back to the doctor, that was how we well settle he also told me not to worry that I will get pregnant, this month making it the fifth Month I contacted he am now 3 months pregnant.
