Afternoon Cocktail Lesson / Poisonous Frog

I used to be super shy about “joining in” – as a kid, I ran screaming from any event that involved interaction with multiple people at any one time (i.e. “most things, generally”) – but lately I’ve become Little Miss Participator. When Kendrick and I went to an all-inclusive in Cancun for our one-year anniversary last August (told ya I was a fan) we were all about the lessons: dance lessons, cooking lessons, volleyball lessons…anything that involved the hotel’s Entertainment Team, we were there.

So obviously when I was given the activity schedule during check-in at the Park Royal Grand, there was some excitement involved. Ceviche lessons?! Yes.

I was particularly looking forward to Tuesday afternoon’s lesson, which came courtesy of a few visitors from Senor Frog’s. Next time a yard-long plastic drinking vessel comes your way, you’ll know what to do! Don’t say I never gave you any super-useful information.

POISONOUS FROG

1. In a cocktail shaker, mix together a count each of vodka, gin, brandy, and amaretto, and OJ to taste.

2. Pour into the largest receptacle you can find (preferably neon-colored and plastic), and top with a little grenadine and red wine (yep).

3. Lose self in oblivion.

Sounds atrocious; was less atrocious than expected. Not exactly recommended, but I suppose there’s a place for everything, including cocktails that involve six different kinds of alcohol.
