In certain aspects of my life, I am extremely organized. In other areas, not so much. Other than one semester in during my junior or senior year of high school, I have been a PC user. In April of this year I made the switch and became a Mac user. For those that have made that switch know that there is a steep learning curve, particularly after 22 years of using a PC. Sure, I could navigate the basics, but learning how to retrieve and store things was a bit different than I was used to.
My PC is organized within an inch of its life. Folder and folders and then more folders, all labeled. But when I got the Mac, I didn’t know how anything went in, where it went, and how to get it back out. Confession, I still can’t get a document or picture onto a flash drive from The Green Bean (the name of my laptop.) If you can tell me, leave a comment! (And don’t tell me to go to YouTube, I have watched the videos and it still doesn’t work.)I have since learned how to create folders and organize my pictures and documents. I figured it out a few weeks ago and from that moment on, I organized every new thing that went in. Then last night, I spent the time and cleaned up all the stuff I had already downloaded to The Green Bean. During that cleaning, I found not one, but two recipes I made and never posted. This drink and (and this one is really shameful, sorry Mom2) one of Mom2’s excellent meatloaves that she made while I was in California (IN MAY.) Sigh!

So, here, almost two months after it was originally made, Strawberry Lime-Tini. It tastes like a strawberry limeade who grew up and turned 21. Delicious.
Ingredients
Strawberry-Lime mixture
- 1 cup strawberries; sliced
- 2 limes; sliced
- 1 cup vodka
- ½ cup sugar
Cocktail
- 1½ oz . Strawberry Lime Mixture
- 1 oz . Lemon-lime Perrier (or 7up)
Instructions
-
Add all to a large jar or container and seal.
-
Then put on Chic’s 1970’s hit Le Freak and shake it during the course of the song, making sure the sugar is dissolved.
-
Refrigerate for at least an hour, but the longer the better.
-
I let it sit for 48 hours, shaking every time I went into the kitchen.
To Assemble
-
Add to a martini glass, stir, garnish, and serve.
-
Drink Responsibly.
