WHITE COSMOPOLITAN

WHITE COSMOPOLITAN Adapted from Daniel

2 ounces Snow Queen vodka

1 ounce St.-Germain elderflower liqueur

½ ounce freshly squeezed lime juice

1 ounce white cranberry juice

1 orchid or edible flower, for garnish.

1. Shake the liquid ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass.

2. Add the garnish and serve.

Yield: 1 serving.

Note: For the garnish, freeze the flower in an ice tray. Fill the tray halfway with water, freeze, and add the flower. Fill completely with water and freeze again. (Spherical ice trays, necessary to replicate Daniel’s large ice ball, are available at www.momastore.org and other online retailers. You can also just float an unfrozen flower in the drink.)

Arresting them costs a lot and accomplishes little. Firewall

Oiled

Garage wall. It faces south and the paint ain't never stuck on it too good. At least with the oil, I just gotta slap a new coat on every once in a while.
