Caipirinha
As usual, I couldn’t leave well enough alone; I had to modify the recipe. Instead of muddling big chunks of lime, I threw it all into a blender thinking it would kinda sorta come out like a Margarita. Nope, no go. It was all chunky, bitter, undrinkable. I suppose I could have filtered it and re-blended it with more ice, but then it would have been too dilute!
There must be a way to make a blended caipirinha. Here’s a thought: I could use lime zest, lime juice, rum, and ice. And maybe mix the zest in just a little bit at a time so as not to overdo it.
I’m tired tonight, so that’s all I’ve got for you: booze.

And here I was expecting a deceased piranha and a blender.
