virgin and not

Coconut, mango, pineapple, and banana.

I think my favorite part about mix n' match tervis tumblers is matching the cup to the beverage inside.

And as the thermostat climbs, the amount of drinks being made increases.  Tropical fruity wonders in the morning, transitioning into frosty boozy concoctions for the afternoon.  Speaking of which, I've got a jug of sangria brewing in the fridge as we speak...type...as I type and you read...  Whatever.

I bought triple sec for the sangria and had some left over so I used it to make this cocktail:

orange and grapefruit juice with vodka and triple sec.  Quite refreshing, and I think the color compliments the hibiscus nicely.  

Gotta get my fill of delicious high quality beverages before I head to the desert and the land of cheap drinks.  

gremlin

The citrus on the right all came from trees in the backyard so I can vouch for their organicness and whatnot.  I did a lemon, an orange, and a grapefruit to show normal sizes.  The item on the left is some weirdo fruit that my brothers friend brought home.  It looks and feels like a grapefruit but is clearly gargantuan.  He thinks it's a cross between a grapefruit and a melon, thus he named it the gremlin.

We were both too scared to cut it open, but had many theories about what it's like inside.  The real issue is why is this necessary?  What is wrong with the fruits of nature?  Why must we mess with perfection.  I'd rather just have a delicious grapefruit followed by a juicy melon, not some sort of freak fruit.

Oh no, all this talking about grapefruit makes me want a greyhound.  I better go do yoga now otherwise it'll be a lost cause.
