Divorce and Daiquiris



A friend of mine reads my blog, mostly to steal my recipes, but also to critique it. Lately she has been saying that I need to talk about my job more because it is "hilarious." Yes, some divorce clients have really let's say....unique life choices. Opening an envelope dropped off by your client containing porn photos (adult porn people, don't freak out) is definitely not something that happens in every line of work. However, being that I would like to keep my job and the entertainment it provides me, I think I'll just stick to random, innocuous statements about my job.


That being said, here is a great daiquiri recipe. Because when you divorce people for a living, cocktails are a must.

  • 2 cups crushed ice, plus extra for chilling glass
  • 2 ounces light rum
  • 1-ounce freshly squeezed lime juice, strained of pulp
  • 1/2-ounce Simple Syrup (equal parts sugar and water, boiled)

Place the 2 cups of crushed ice into a cocktail shaker. Pour the rum, lime juice, and simple syrup over the ice, cover, and shake well. Remove the ice from your serving glass and strain the drink into it. Ice your glass before you strain the cocktail into it, it makes it ice cold.

After a few of these, life is damned good. Even if you're going through a divorce.
