The drink combines amaretto and orange juice. The recipe calls for an orange slice garnish but I went with a section of clementine. The drink is quite lovely. Amaretto is scrumptious stuff. Technically, I have a nut allergy but I have also recently learned that an almond isn't really a nut. It is a droop, like a peach or plum. This is good because almonds are yummy, especially in liquor form! I discovered some time ago that it goes nicely with lime. Orange works, too.
What any of this has to do with the game of Bocce - Italian in origin, dating all the way back to Ancient Rome - I don't know. Maybe The Scamp knows. She's quite an expert at chasing balls rolling across the floor. Sadly, I think she's on the verge of outgrowing that short and precious time when a kitten will play Fetch.
Train it now to play with the laser pointer. Our cat won't do it, much to the disappointment of my kids.
ReplyDeleteOh, she loves that! We even have one that will go automatically. It's a godsend.
DeleteWe had one cat who was too smart for it - had the whole thing figured out. Seemed such a shame!
Oh she knows how to sit by this drink and it has her seal of approval. I like this drink
ReplyDeleteHighly recommended.
DeleteThis drink sounds good!
ReplyDeleteIt is!
DeleteOh My goodness, she is learning the way of the camera. Just look at the pose and smile into the camera !
DeleteShe is losing her kitten face. Love her poofball of a tail.
The drink sounds so lovely. I did not know that about almonds.
cheers, parsnip, Oliver and Merida
This shot's definitely a keeper.
DeleteThe tail is impressive, isn't it?
Cats have personalities, some like scamp perhaps want companionship but others are just meeowing for food, bless their little hearts, we're only creatures after all.
ReplyDeleteShe's a lovely one, actually - loves to cuddle. Plenty of meowing for food, though.
DeleteI think your cat decided that drink belongs to her!
ReplyDeleteShe has yet to try to do more than sniff.
DeleteLovely kitty, and the drink sounds fun. I keep wondering if I should try ordering one of these random ones at a bar...to see if I'd get an accurate version. I can't even imagine the variety of liquor I'd need to invest in to keep up with your quest.
ReplyDeleteV:)
I tend not to order cocktails when I’m out, actually. I do so love draft beer. But now that I have found my go-to cocktail, the Manhattan, I am interested to see what a professional might do with it.
DeleteI bet I would stump most of them with a bocce ball.
