Curt's neice, Crystal, ran in a 5k last weekend and placed 2nd (!!!!), so I felt obliged to create a martini in her honor.
Because, you know, I don't run marathons.
For any reason.
- But I really admire the determined folks among us who do. They are a special breed of crazy.
Go, Little Marathoner, Go! Martini
1 shotglass of cold Vodka, (because I'd have to be drunk to even consider this)
1 shot glass of Red Bull, plus a splash (to help drag your lazy tail off the sofa, the morning of)
splash of grenadine (for the blood you'll shed..hey, you saw "Run, Fatboy, Run", too, right?)
splash of lime juice (no reason - just tastes good)
garnish with lemon peel (the finish line)
Coat your glass in Red Bull, pour excess out. Mix all together over ice, and strain into, not a paper cup, but your martini glass.
Kick back and watch the fools.
