How To Make An Emerald Star Cocktail

Origins
When moving house from one country to another, one of the processes that may be undertaken is to clear out the drinks cupboard of all those strange bottles which seem to accumulate there. One of the time-honoured ways of doing this is to hold a "cocktail evening" whereby new combinations of alcohol are tried and tested. These usually turn out to taste disgusting. However, on such a recent occasion, this researcher came up with the following concoction, which tasted more than acceptable.

Why Emerald Star?This name was conferred upon the cocktail as the combination of ingredients give it a deep green colour; one of the researchers who tested the cocktail is from Ireland; and the word "Star" occurs in that researcher's nickname.

1 measure Gin
1 measure Blue Curacao

1/2 measure lemon juice

Dash of Angostura BittersCombine the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker, and shake together. Serve in Martini glasses, with a plastic monkey hanging on the side.

Contrary to what it may seem, I actually drink vey little. Really!

What I'm doing nowadays (while waiting for the money for my store to arive) is planting a flower border all around the from yard. I sprouted them from seeds, which went well. I'm using a power auger (a big piece of metal that fits into the drill), and I can STILL only plant about six before I'm exhausted!!!! I hate fibromyalgia. Seriously, this sucks. I hop on anything that's ever helped anyone; right now it's Noni juice. Which has, at least, got me of the couch and into the yard, however briefly!
