mojito diablo

Rhum drink I created while working at the Fontainebleau in South Beach, Miami. To make one at home...
1 1/2 white tequila, 1/2 creme de cassis, 2 lime wedges, 12 fresh mint leaves, 3-6 oz 7-Up soda, 1 tbsp brown sugar.
Muddle sugar, mint and squeezed lime wedges in mixing tin until mixture smells like spearmint gum. Fill with ice, add tequila and cassis, shake until the tin is icey to the touch. Pour into a collins glass, top with 7-up and garnish with a sugarcane stick and fresh mint.

"Man, there are no manly cocktails out there."
"Sure there are. My Spiritual Advisor makes an awesome Mojito Diablo."

fried ice cream

The exclusive perfume of Mexican gorditas.

When I smelled the aroma Fried Ice Cream wafting from the cantina, I knew Gorditas were near.

hurricane magnet

Another term for hurricane.

The hurricane was heading for South Beach Miami, so we set up a Hurricane Magnet in North Miami where nobody would be missed.

sengakuji

Sengakuji is a Buddhist temple located in the Takanawa neighborhood of Minato-ku, about 10 minutes from Shinagawa Station, Tokyo, Japan.

The graves of Shogun Asano Takumi no Kami Naganori and the forty-seven loyal Ronin are here.

Amazing story of honour, loyalty and Japanese culture.

Very, very few Japanese actually know of the temple, story or history.

Beautiful place when the sakuras bloom.

Foreigner in Tokyo - Did you hear the 5AM bell from Sengakuji this morning?
Japanese friend - What's a Sengakuji?

"Are you having a Mojito Diablo or an Italian Apple martini?"
"I dunno, let me consult the Spiritual Advisor on duty."

family wreath

People that are inbred are said to have a Family Wreath, as there are no branches, only a circle of family.

Bubba went to the library to get a copy of his Family Wreath for his Dad/Uncle/Brother Travis.

italian apple

I created the Italian Apple Martini while working at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Here is how you make one at home...
3/4 oz Amaretto Di Saronno liqueur, 1 1/2 oz DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker schnapps, 3/4 oz Stoli Vanil vodka, 1 splash Rose's lime juice, 1 splash cranberry juice.
Pour all into iced shaker tin, shake until tin is cold to the touch and strain into martini glass. Garnish with lime wheel, and serve.

"I'm tired of drinking beer, I need something good"
"My Spiritual Advisor recommends an Italian Apple martini."
