adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

[Life: Make] Strawberry Fizz
If you like a Sloe Gin Fizz, this is a fun take that is one of my favorite summer drinks. When I lived in Tejas I used to make this for friends all the time.
1 small spoonful of Strawberry Jam (the tarter the better)
1.5 shots of Hendrick’s Gin (my fav) or Bombay Sapphire Gin
3/4of 1 lemon squeezed… Fresh  Lemon Juice
Ice to fill glass
Tonic Water
Lemon Slices
Directions:
Fill the glass with ice and the first 3 ingredients. Top with Tonic Water & lemon slices. Voila. Yumm.
Update: reading all your questions…in order to not get the jam stuck in the bottom, take a long spoon or one of those fancy bar metal stirring stick things and briskly whisk the jam into the mixture…. or screw the jam and just add strawberry (or raspberry) puree which you can easily accomplish by mashing the soft fruit with a wooden spoon
