Beat the Heat
While shopping for poolside refreshments this weekend, I was the happy recipient of a Random Act of Kindness in the form of a cocktail recommendation and I feel I’d be remiss in my responsibilities to you if I didn’t Pay it Forward.
At Disco Kroger Fresh Fare by Kroger, I made immediate friends with this supercute girl in line ahead of me who was OBVIOUSLY PLU* – she, like myself, had visible bathing suit straps under her sundress and a basket full of trashy gossip magazines, grill-friendly foods and a few bottles of Prosecco. We both recognized this immediately, and, after discussing our respective Bachelorette predictions, she noticed a missing item from my basket...
The steps are easy.
1. Pop your Prosecco (or champagne. I just really like alliteration.)
2. Fill your red Solo cup with equal parts vino and Orangina
3. Enjoy!
*People Like Us. Duh.
P.S. The chilled and vodka-soaked gummy worms and bears (per the suggestion of Mrs. Mendes!)were not a bad pooside snack choice either. Thanks, Greg!

Correction: as Ms. Terchila pointed out on my facebook wall…equal parts are clearly the wrong proportions. The perfect split = 80/20. Ahh, I don’t cook.
