At one particular location I worked at, there was an Auntie Anne's pretzel stand. I'd go there for lunch multiple times a week and get a cinnamon sugar pretzel and a huge, sugary lemonade. Mmmm...mmm. The lunch of champions. (and I wondered why I was overweight) Someone in my store befriended the people who worked at the stand, and if we were lucky, after our store closed, the Auntie Anne's folks would bring us their leftovers. It made having to work until 9:30 while the rest of your friends were out doing things almost not seem so bad.
What does this have to do with anything? Well, I've been watching a lot of tv lately. (I blame it on the running injury.) My favorite channel is Bravo, and I watch just about every horrible reality show they have on. I've noticed that during every program, there have been ads for Smirnoff Tuscan Lemonade. I work in advertising, so I should know better, but seeing the commercial so many times made me run out and buy what turned out to be an enormous bottle of the premixed, sugary goodness.
I went to a party over the weekend and took my comically large bottle with me. I excitedly opened it and poured the neon yellow combination of vodka and Limoncello over ice. I fell in love at the first sip. It tasted SO much like Auntie Anne's lemonade, if Auntie Anne's lemonade contained 15% alcohol. Given enough time, I could have made a dent in this bottle, but even with the help of a few friends and after a few glasses, my bottle is still mainly full. (The $17.99 I spent on this beverage is going to go a long way!)
If you like sugary drinks, lemons, lemonade, or vodka, you should give this drink a try. (Just don't try to buy it at Giant Eagle - they don't carry it.) It's like liquid summer in a bottle...
