1/17: concocting

...a very pink cocktail:  "rosé" sparkling grape juice, Uncle Val's botanical gin, and strawberry purée (left over from making the strawberry cake a few days ago).  It's not a drink I'd want every day (and, in general, I think I should get out of the habit of having a drink almost every day), but its pinkness, fizziness, and floral hints tickled me.
