It's Booze O'Clock

I just finished putting up Christmas deco's, vacuuming up the carpet of sparkles left behind, and making another batch of roasted tomato soup (I used cilantro this time in addition to basil and thyme, quite a flavour sensation!!).

I also just listened to what is apparently the world's most relaxing song (scientist approved no less): http://www.shortlist.com/entertainment/music/scientists-discover-most-relaxing-tune-ever 

Now, I am relaxed and happy...getting ready to read a Christmas themed Style at Home in front of the fire, but something is missing...oh yes, a fabulous drink!  

I love Greyhounds. Loooove.  So I made a Greyhound martini and it is scrumptious.


I used 1 shot of vodka and a dash of Triple Sec.  I squeezed half a grapefruit out into my old school Nigella Lawson juicer, shook the juice up with some ice in my martini shaker, and done!! Wedge of lime on the rim, and delicious into my mouth.  Sit back, relax, enjoy :)
