Okay, so last weekend I went out for my friend's 26th birthday and had a FABULOUS time at B. B. King's in Times Square, NYC. I always have a good time in the city (for those of you who aren't familiar with how wack Long Island can be, just take my word for it. A short drive into Manhattan is very necessary for me most weekends.) But this past weekend proved to be especially enlightening!
Well, it's not all that serious, but I did learn something. For one, I met Day 26 and Dawn Richards of Danity Kane fame in the club. I'll mention breifly that they're all nice and good-looking in person, for those who are wondering. Their section was next to ours and at the request of my birthday buddy, they took time out take pics with her, which was very cool of them. I opted to stand aside for the pics, lest I look like a groupie (hahaha!) :)
Anyway, that wasn't the enlighting part. I've adopted a new staple cocktail!! This awesome, AWESOME drink is called the TOKYO TEA :) It's actually a modified Long Island Iced Tea. I was so excited to discover this, as I personally think LI Iced Teas taste gross.
I owe this to my friend J-Dash, whose neon-green glass prompted me to ask what he was sipping on. He told me that it was a Long Island, but he replaced the Coke with Midori Liqueur. Since I don't like rum, and I thought that half-a-pint-glass of Midori would've been too cloying, I decided to tweak mine a bit when I ordered it...
Equal parts:

Equal parts:
- tequila
- gin
- vodka
- triple sec
- Midori (instead of the rum component)
...and instead of filling the glass with Coke, I had the bartender fill it with pineapple juice (that's the Trinidadian in me) with a splash of Coke and a splash of sour mix. SOOOO delish!!! Not to mention this fits right in with my predilection for Japanese-inspired things! Drink responsibly and enjoy!!! :)
