license to chill

Flemington Motor Vehicles
Oh the dreaded renewing of the drivers license.  I will never forget the horror of doing this in Brooklyn when I first learned to drive.  Today was an absolute joy.  Look at all those people ahead of me.  Heh, heh.  In AND out in ten minutes.  I must celebrate tonight!





Summer is so close to over I can't believe it.
      I still never perfected my peach martini.  Well, it isn't over yet is it?

2.5 oz peach vodka
.5 oz peach schnapps
2.5 oz organic peach nectar
a squeeze of fresh lemon

Put this all in a shaker with lots of ice and shake till chilled.
Strain into frozen cold martini glass.
Peachy.

appletini-time!

I think one of the most refreshing summer martinis has to be the apple-tini.  


I love the bright green color and the way it tastes tart and west like Jolly Rancher candy!

I make mine like this:
Add 2 oz. of DeKuyper's Apple Pucker
2 oz. vodka
and 1/2 oz. of sour mix 
to a shaker with LOTS of ice.
Shake till the shaker is too cold to hold anymore.
Strain into frozen martini glass.
Enjoy.
