Make mine a cosmopolitan

What is it with guys and booze? It is not really the amount they drink – it is just the excitement that surrounds “drinks”. The guys decided they wanted to try their hand at bartending and thus, registered for a course in “tastemaker - bartending” in one of my favorite pubs here. I must say I was mighty impressed with the way it was organized. The ice buckets, the muddlers, stirrers, cranberry juice, tomato juice, lime juice, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce and test tubes filled with colorful liquids– all arranged neatly on each table. Nice! Yay, for Smirnoff! We girls decided it would be best if the guys attended the course in the hopes that they would make all the exotic concoctions they learnt for us. Also, we did not know they were giving out certificates for the course! So we just sat there and cheered them when they received the certificate of honor.

Now, if only he can remember what a cosmopolitan is. If you think I am being pretentious and I want a cosmopolitan just because the women in Sex and the City annoyingly swoon over the drink – you would be right.
