Construction, Carpet, and Cocktail (Spiked Lemonade)

This new year has started off to quite an interesting month already....


We are (yes, I know....18 months) into our home and still under construction trying to work out the lower ranch level.

My husband has been getting framing done in stages and then finishing those areas off.  He asked if I was going to be home so that the drywall could be delivered.  "No problem", I said.


My mistake was that I thought they were going to just drop the drywall on your driveway and be on their way...not so much.

What he failed to tell me was that an entire crew was coming over with a remote control lift that would robot its way through the front door with the stacks of drywall!


Once all the drywall was in the house, he proceeded on the rest of Phase 1.  This past weekend, he is "shooting" the framing up and kept yelling, "FIRE".  Dogs were not happy about it and would not leave my side.


Which leads me to the next subject....Kongs.  News Flash!!  Kongs are not Labrador proof.  Kongs are not Kylo proof!


Carpet is also not Kylo proof....which is why we now have new carpet in our Living Room.  UGH!  

With all this excitement and $$$ out the door, I needed a new construction cocktail.

Spiked Lemonade

3 cups sugar
3 cups water
12 lemons, juiced
Ice
Vodka
Club Soda

In a saucepan, add the sugar and water.  Heat until the sugar dissolves.  Chill until ready to use.

In a small pitcher, mix together the lemon juice and chilled simple syrup.  Add the syrup in stages and taste so it is just the right blend to your preference.

To serve, place ice cubes in a glass.  Pour some vodka into the glass to your taste.  Add lemonade and top off with club soda.


Kylo then has the audacity to nap on the couch when I'm not looking!!!
