Ah. A pinecone, a lime, and a cucumber. Got it.

Has Firefly sweet tea vodka made it's way up there to you guys yet? If not, I must send some to the gang up there. It's made on an island near me. You mix it up with sweet tea. Can taste only a hint of vodka in it if you make it strong.

Um, I'll still pass. I'm not a big fan of cucumbers, either. Well, except for Cucumber, WV, the Next Town Over The Mountain from where my mother, aunt-whom-I-visited-this-weekend, and grandparents all attended high school. :-}}}}

Actually, I'm not much of a gin fan myself. Hendricks, though, is divine - it's flavored with cucumber, which really takes the bite of the juniper out of the equation. Hendricks is the only gin I can or will drink neat.

For those of us who don't have a "taste" for gin, a lovely variation is the same equal parts, but of Ketel One vodka and lime juice, shaken over ice and strained into a martini glass.

So I could approximate that flavor by taking half a lime, half a pinecone, and putting them in the blender for a minute? :)
