This week, random.org handed me Mama Kat prompt number four: Pour me a drink. Share a favorite drink recipe! As much as I enjoy the thrill of meeting a writing prompt challenge, this one left me wanting a drink, not wanting to write about making one. (For fantastic cocktail recipes, I recommend Tomatoes on the Vine.) I tried random.org again and got Write a post in just eight lines. This I can do, and I am merging the drink prompt into the eight line prompt. Here goes.
Spirited Drinking
For me, favorite drinks are inextricably linked to times, people, and places.
The vanilla milkshakes I craved when very pregnant during a hot Florida summer.
The tequila/beer/frozen limeade margaritas that threw me unceremoniously to a bathroom floor.
Glasses of wine enjoyed over pasta dinners with the best of friends.
Piña Coladas (Regular for Mom/Virgin for My Son) while vacationing in Marco Island, Florida.
Convenience store hot chocolate on cold mornings after a 5K or yoga.
Rum and cokes (single rum, tall glass) watching Super Bowls with my husband.
What is in the glass doesn’t matter as much as who I am with when it is consumed.
Wife of one, Mom of two, Friend of many. My pronouns are she/her/hers.
Oh, those are all wonderful spirits! I think the margaritas are my favorite from the list!

Love your merging of 2 prompts. This post brought me back to all of my associations with drinks and places and people. Loved it!
Found you on Mama Kat's 🙂
Stopping by from Mama Kat's! I love the wine and pasta combo. The perfect dinner!
I like that. Its not what you are drinking but whom you are drinking it with.
If only I could remember. 😉
What a great post. I could see and feel each of these moments…and my favorite was the wine with pasta and friends.
LOL! I love that you used random.org to choose your prompt! Thanks for popping over at my space! And the last line is my favorite!!
Very nice! My only question is, where's the coffee??
I used to live so close to Marco Island years ago that I could literally go there just as quickly as most people go to the grocery store and back. Such a beautiful place!
