The Great Cape Cod Cosmo

Last week, I was slurring my words and drooling.

Oh, you thought it was because I had a front tooth removed?

No, no, no. It’s because I was drinking this little ol’ drinky-drink, the Cape Cod Cosmo.

And yes it did help me forget about the giant hole in my face, but it didn’t help my photography skills.

These Cape Cod drink pictures…are…how you say…subpar. <– apparently I’m a picture snob

I wish I could blame being drunk. But I swear I didn’t even sip these sweet and tart wonders while being the profesh photographer that I am. Who knew taking pics of alcoholic bevies (I’m sorry) could be so hard?

I guess I forgot to sweet talk them like they were America’s Next Top Beverage: “Beautiful, dahling. You look gorgeous. YES! Make love to the camera, Capey Cod. Perfect. That’s a wrap.”

Are they blurry? Not blurry? Who knows, you’re buzzed on Cape Cod Cosmos and you couldn’t care less.

We made about 6 drinks just to get a few good shots. So I’ll be drinking Cape Cod Cosmos until the fat lady sings. Or at least until David Lee Roth sings at my first Van Halen concert THIS SUNDAY! Yes, I’ll be pretending it’s 1984 and rocking out with David Lee. Dave. The Davester. We’re buds.

Should I crimp my hair?

Okay so what’s so special about this drink? The hubs was a bartender 19 ions ago and can make a mean drink. I like my alcoholic drinks potent, but also them to taste like Kool-Aid. It’s a tough order and he delivers.

The key is LOTS of fresh lime.

Then I went overboard and made this lime sugar for the rim of the glass.

I double dog dare you not to lick it off before you’ve finished the drink.
