Missionary’s Downfall (Budget Version)

½ cup pineapple chunks

1 wineglass full of water

3 jigs Bacardi Peach Rum

4 or 5 springs (about ten to fifteen leaves) of crappy Demoulas mint

1 cup ice

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons lime juice

Assemble in blender, hit “ice crush” then hit “puree”. Makes about two drinks.

The Bitchy Crosstown Express (Variation on a Cosmo)

1/2 or 1 jig pommegranate vodka (it's been trendy for a while now, I was interested in the possiblities of pommegranate and cranberry)
1 cup cranberry juice
1 wedge of lime

combine ingredients in a wine glass (I have no martini glasses), drink slowly as the alcohol will sneak up on you
