Probably, Most Certainly

You could probably say and think that life is one of the few things that you expect to follow a chosen path. A path that you designed for yourself, or it is just probably manufactured by your very own actions or the actions of those around you. However, a single moment, albeit a powerful one, could change all that. You could end up stranded, looking back you see the first half of what has been an easy path(a straight one), while up ahead, you see the roads winding, dividing into intersections, and probably a lot of uneven ground. Narrating this from a third person's point of view is indeed effortless, as is reading it, but think about how you would react, if you ever encounter a situation like this. Saying it matter of factly, its all just a period of wild circumstances, which lead to other different circumstances. But if ever we get caught in the web of life, it is definitely important to always remember that good times do not last, and bad times do not last as well.

So cheers, to a great time. For tomorrow there may not be one as great as before.

I decided to create a layering effect into a drink instead of a shot this time round, and it probably came to my mind as I slowly began to form the layers in it. Well you have to stir it in the end to mix it all up so that the flavours combine, but the appearance of this drink will probably remind you of better times, with its sunny disposition and radiant colours.

1 part Grey Goose Vodka
1 part peach schnapps
1 part Cherry Brandy
1 teaspoon of honey
1 half of a canned Peach, diced
Soda water (if prefered)
Maraschino Cherry to garnish

Place your diced peach into a shaker, and muddle it nice and neat. Add to it the honey, peach schnapps and vodka. Add ice, and shake well, and strain it into a tall and thin glass filled with ice. Using a straw, carefully pour the cherry brandy into it such that you get a nice layer of the brandy at the bottom of the glass. Top up with soda water if preferred, and garnish with a marachino cherry, and maybe even a nice little cocktail umbrella. Cheers!
