staff favorites {thirsty thursday}

Writing this post makes me want to make one of these, like now.   It’s so crisp & refreshing and the perfect go-to drink.   Are you at a reception with terrible house wine and draft beer that will give you a nasty hangover?  Order a vodka + soda with two lemons + two limes.   Are you at a backyard bbq where it is so ridiculous hot that your shorts are melting into your skin?  Whip up a vodka + soda and you will feel instantly refreshed and not at all bloated.  Trying to lose a few pounds but still need a drink at the end of a very long day?  Vodka + soda.   See what I mean?  It’s the perfect go-to drink .   You don’t have to order the two lemons + two limes, but I like the extra citrus taste it adds to the cocktail.    And use a good vodka if you can – you won’t have a nasty hangover if you overindulge.
