I love grapefruit. No one else in my family does. I love its tart kick and fresh pop. I prefer its natural sour state instead of dolloped on sweetness. I suppose there’s a metaphor there.
If you read yesterday’s post, you know that I’m wiped out. I’m keeping today’s 5:00 Fridays post short. I’m adding the unspent writing energy to my energy pool. For now, I’m putting up my feet, literally smelling the roses blooming in glory in the garden, and sipping some grapefruit elixir.
Grapefruit Elixir
3 ounces Yazi ginger vodka
6 ounces grapefruit juice (Fresh is da bomb!)
Sprig of fresh thyme
Put ice into a lowball glass. Add vodka and top with grapefruit juice. Plop in that sprig of fresh thyme and give it a stir. This is a refreshing libation on a warm summer night. And grapefruit is good for you, right?
