“…Apology made to whoever pleases/Still they got me like Jesus…”

- Chuck D, “Welcome To The Terrordome”

It’s Good Friday, which means Easter and Passover are this weekend. And you know what happens on either of those holidays? A lot of eating, and a whollleeee lot of drinking. Well, if you’re in my family, it does. So since my mom’s recruited me to cook for 2893472097402374 people this weekend, I’ve recruited some alcohol to tide me over while I toil over delicious meals made from scratch.

So today’s cocktail, made with the new Bacardi Dragon Berry rum, doesn’t sound very “Easter-friendly.” But I’m a grown woman, and I’m over painting easter eggs, and this drink is pastel-colored, so let’s just consider that my festive (and delicious!) contribution to Easter decorations. Besides, if you’re not a practicing Christian or Jew, and your friends are and are therefore spending their weekend with their families, well, you have to keep busy SOMEhow….
