Mixie-Mix for Saturday Night

Twas a Saturday night...  And I had nothing to do!  Actually that is almost never true--living abroad, the community is ALWAYS having some kind of party.  Ex-Pats like to party and entertain!

Originally, I had a plan to create this baby but... I'll be honest here folks...the only champagne I have is a little o' my friend Dom Perignon... and I'm just not ready to pop that baby open!  SO...I made my own concoction which basically turned out to be a glorified gin and tonic...(like I said before...you just can't go wrong with a G&T!)



You'll need:
1.  an awesome flamingo glass from Ikea
2.  ice
3.  Grey Goose
4.  Bombay Sapphire
5.  tonic water
6.  basil leaves
7.  cucumber
8.  a dash of apple juise
9.  limes...if you want.

Mixie-mix the liquor, tonic, and apple juice.  Crush the basil leaves and lime (if you want it...).  Throw in the cucumber and jab it a little with a spoon.  VOILA´! 

I used English Cucumbers because I find the normal cucumbers to be pretty bitter, here at least.  You may want to try those bad boys too, they are super refreshing and not bitter.  

cheers!
