The Angry Geologist's Gin and Tonic
You will need:
One bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin
One bottle of random store brand tonic
One lime
1.) Buy the gin at the liquor store. Get into a conversation about prospecting with the cashier about gold prospecting in Pennsylvania (?) after you tell her you're a geologist.
2) Buy the lime and the tonic at the grocery store.
3) Get home and start drinking immediately after you try to brush your dog's teeth.
4) Realize you have no tumblers, so mix it in a pint glass that you stole from your ex-roommate instead.
5) Pour in two fingers of gin. Cut an eighth of the lime and squeeze the juice in the glass. Pour enough tonic to fill it three quarters of the way.
6) Taste. Realize there is not enough gin. Pour more in.
7) Drink. Drink again. Drain the glass to all but about a finger left.
8) Wonder how this would taste with cranberries. Add one dried cranberry to the glass. Drink the remainder. Eat gin-soaked cranberry.
9) Wheeeeeeeee!

And a cranberry....that's a very good plan. I've been a little off gin and tonics for awhile, but maybe the memory has faded enough and I should try again!
My favorite liquor store is about 3 miles away... "Gunter's Liquor". I stop in there every so often for the past 8 years.
It's owned by a very nice Vietnamese couple.
