The resulting drink was quite pleasant, a sweeter version of a gin & tonic. Simonson recommends a lemon wedge and a brandied cherry for garnish. My wife didn't see any jarred brandied cherries at the store so we may need to look into making our own - such a hardship! I used a regular maraschino cherry this time.

I'm down half a pound this week so the weight now stands at B-8 (baseline minus 8 lbs). I'm actually rather surprised. I was not so well-behaved this week, missing my exercise goals twice, once by accident, once through laziness. I was half-expecting a spike. Surprises abound.
From my walks:
Lovely butterfly☺
ReplyDeleteThanks. Took me all summer to get a decent shot of a monarch.
DeleteI'm thinking of branching into some whiskey cocktails next. I figure not everything can be rum and tequila.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! I look forward to hearing of your adventures.
DeleteI like a good Tom Collins and that looks yummy. Good for you for losing the weight and who cares if you were lazy for a day and/or/ cheated a bit. We are human after all. I love the monarch on the goldenrod...the colours are great
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI knew a Tom Collins once... It could have gotten confusing around a bar, but I don’t think we were ever in a fancy enough bar where they would have known the drink!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Did he have a brother named John? And parents with a sneaky sense of humor?
DeleteI should try the mix....
ReplyDeletebutterfly look beautiful.
I hope you well. Let me know what you think.
