Me: Miss Kid has informed me that she likes pineapple juice.

shadesong: There's such a thing?

She was dead serious. My girlfriend's weird.

Tell her: Yeah, there is such a thing. Combine in equal quantities with Melon Liquor and Raspberry Liquor and drink. :)

YUM!

I've never had pineapple juice any way but straight and in pina coladas. Given how much I love the stuff, I do need to find other mixed drinks using it.

Try that one. It is the Becky Sex On The Beach Special. ;)

Oh, it is a really good mixer. I can think of lots of stuff to put it in. But the above is my favorite thing to do with it.

I've added it to my list of recipes! Thanks. :-)

Malibu and pineapple juice is the nectar of the gods. :-) Kind of like sunshine in a glass.

Then again, I am of the school that believes Malibu Makes It Better. Cherry ginger ale/7Up, Coke, Cherry Coke, etc. Mmm, Malibu.

That said, I do need to augment my liquor collection. Right now, it consists of one mega-bottle Malibu (7/8 full), one bottle brandy, one bottle clear creme de menthe (the preceding two being the makings of stingers, mmm), one bottle Bailey's, one bottle Godiva licqeur, and a bunch of bottles of wine--a couple of German rieslings, plus about 6 bottles from a Maryland winery. Problem with wine is that I can rarely finish a bottle before it goes off, since I have to drink alone. Oh, forgot to mention the 9 remaining Mike's Hard Lemonades. Nothing like finding fun liquor on sale at the grocery store. :-)

Ok, there's a whole seperate post.

"What's in your liquor collection?"

My answer? Not Enough! I need to acquire the makings of Cosmopolitans, because I have a craving. The house I used to live in has a bar in the basement, and my then-roommate keeps it well stocked.

I'll try to remember to do it tonight, I started, but couldn't remember nearly enough of it.

What's in a cosmopolitan?

Vodka, triple sec (Cointreau, if you're feeling well-off), cranberry juice. Shaken w/ ice, served in a martini glass w/ a lemon or lime twist (preferably swiped around the rim/inside of the glass first). It's a very nice drink--light enough to be summery, but still a real cocktail. Some have called it the "stealth martini." Does tend to sneak up on you if you overindulge....though I've never actually done that w/ cosmos.

Hotwired's Cocktail site (http://hotwired.lycos.com/cocktail/) gives the recipe as: 2 ounces vodka, 1 ounce Cointreau, 1/2 ounce lime juice, and 1 splash cranberry juice
