Funny evening

[akicif]

Strange night, tonight. Not a lot actually done, spent the first half of the evening thinking it'd be good to go out and see people over a few drinks, followed by attack of lethargy/depression when the option actually arose.

One good thing, though, was the discovery that ice + chopped (peeled!) kiwi fruit + tequila makes a pretty good stab at a home-made frozen kiwi margarita.

Dammit, it's barely midnight and this is Edinburgh. It's that tempting just to go out, anyway.

There's nothing out there, believe me!

Ah. You've looked. I've just spent about half an hour with google and similar, regretting not getting the new List. Either a lot less is happening than there used to be, or they're just not advertising it... Hell, I even considered the gothy club at Teviot, secure in the knowledge that it'd be a gothtart free zone.

I think I'll wash out the cocktail shaker with a splash more tequila, have a bijou spliffette and crash.

Sounds like a margarita to me! (A little lime, maybe, and some salt?)

Speaking of odd margaritas, had a cranberry one once that was surprisingly good!

Sounds like it would work - I think there's a lot of research I need to do in the area of[spirit] + [fruit] + crushed ice drinks: which ones work best with a little sugar, which need salt, whether adding fruit juice as well as/instead of crushed fruit.

Now, if only I could find an appropriate funding body...
