I have invented the perfect cocktail for when your husband is away on business for 6 days, your almost 4 year old has the worst cold/flu in history, your 10 month old has pink eye, and you can't get in touch with your pediatrition...kind of cocktail sort of situation.
So you are crying in the middle of the pharmacy. The Dr was supposed to call in the prescription, but nothing has been done. YOU arrive with two children in tow because your husband is out of town....and you are told the medicine can not be filled at that particular pharmacy because they are clean out of that prescription. Everyone starts crying...including you, the baby and the almost 4 year old, well, screaming, actually, because, well, it is almost supper time.
Finally you get the meds after another trip in the car and are headed home. Put the kids to bed: feed, bathe, story time, tuck in, say prayers, lights out.
Now, mix one part of tequila + a splash of Jack Rudy tonic (http://www.jackrudycocktailco.com/) + a small handful of muddled rosemary leaves + the juice of two blood red oranges + half a juiced lemon or lime + a splash of sparkling water...shake well with ice and pour into a cocktail glass. I like my cocktails on the rocks but whatever you prefer. These were all the ingredients I had on hand and you know, it worked for me. Garnish with a slice of lemon or lime and a twist of blood orange.
Shake and drink. Realize blood orange and tequila are good friends and everything will be better in the morning. Put yourself to bed. Tomorrow is a new day.
