Monday Blues

Well to chase the monday blues away, I decided on a chill out drink. Not a very fascinating drink, but perhaps, the simplicity of it will drive ur blues away.

I looked at my collection of liqueurs today, and I have to notice the insufficiency of it all, even though a few friends will think im a nutcase with that much. But variety means a lot to me, which is why I am always eager at every opportunity to expand my collection, though I am still limited by the constraints of having to work with what I have.

Which comes to remind me of a song.(Electric Blues) So electric here would give me a feeling of a shock effect, something that gives the drink an extra bite, so I would have to go with a lemon. Hardly surprising. The tough part is fitting in the blues. I didnt go so much with the colour, but rather my favourite liqueur so far, amaretto by disaronno.

Amaretto Sour(My version)

1 part Disaronno Amaretto
2 parts iced tea
Juice of half a lemon
Crushed ice.

Well, just take a tall glass, fill it up with ice, and pour in the amaretto and iced tea in proportions. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into it, and stir well. Serve with a cherry garnish and lemon rind to posh things up. Chase your monday blues away, for tomorrow comes a better (Tues)day.
