Kudos to Karen for becoming the second person to join The A List and earn herself a celebratory cocktail. I am always impressed by her compassion, great taste in music and her fluency in Russian as a second language. I have it on pretty good authority that 10 out of 10 people agree that Karen is a very awesome lady, especially her boyfriend. (He also happens to be awesome. Check out his site at http://www.thecultureofme.com.) Said boyfriend has the most wonderful term of endearment for his sweetie- The Lovely Girlfriend. His website makes frequent references to The Lovely Girlfriend. And now Revel & Feast does too. But in Russian.
милые подруги (The Lovely Girlfriend)
3 juicy blackberries
1 small mint leaf
1 shot of light rum
1 cup of ginger ale
In a tall glass, muddle together the blackberries and mint until the blackberries release some of their juice and the mint is fragrant. Pour in the rum and top off with the ginger ale. Serves one Lovely Girlfriend.
