What is your favorite drink?

I don’t drink alcohol. I don’t drink coffee. I enjoy the occasional hot chocolate or fruit tea. The main thing I drink is half water and half black and blueberry juice, so I guess I’d have to say that. However…

In my pre-stroke years, I took a bartending course, and we had to inventory a cocktail. My cocktail was…

One oz. vodka

Cranberry juice

Half oz. of Malibu rum floated on top

The coconut flavor of the rum cuts the tartness of the cranberry juice and it goes down very easily but hits pretty quickly. Great summer patio drink.

I call it the Metropolitan.
