La dolce vita, I prefer the swanky italIan cocktail of Campari and soda with an orange twist. I love how in Italy they have it prepared and stocked in the hotel minibar. Salute!
Mmm… nothing beats a glass of Long Island Iced Tea to help sweeten the bitterness of not attending the OWMD! 😉
That cucumber drink sounds so yucky that it is sure to start a very fun discussion!
I could use one of DFWSkylink’s cucumber vodka gimlets right now! Sounds delish.
I <3 myself a cucumber gimlet!
I’m voting for the DFWSkylink cucumber gimlet because it’s smiling at me.
Cucumber gimlet makes my mouth water!
I might not go for the OJ, but if Randy’s including Cointreau in his Marg, that’s hard to beat.
I could use some Sangria right about now.
A gimlet of cucumber. Not just for salads any more.
sorry.. I hate alcohol !!!!!
Now Randy makes a FINE marguerita but? I could go for a Long Island Ice tea just now. Wait, it’s only 5 a.m. and I’m fresh off the redeye from Kaua’i.
Definitely the regular, old school vodka gimlet! A cucumber soaking in vodka? It sounds like sipping on pickle juice!
none. either coffee with baileys, baileys on the rocks, or sprite/siera mist with disorono
I like Jimgotkp’s Long Island Iced Tea
cucumber gimlet – hmmmm!

Transmission rebuilds are extremely popular because they save money
for the car owner. If you have misplaced this extender,
just spray your key liberally and turn it in the stiff lock several times.
If your vehicle seems to be leaking fluids, start by replacing the gaskets and seals.
