Absolut® everything!!
Today was a day of Absolutes.
Boss was back in action fresh from a holiday that no one seemed to know about. As expected, it was an Absolutely hectic and tiring day for me.
After lunch my crazy colleagues suggested a post-lunch “drink.” A colleague had brought back a bottle of Absolut Vodka® from Stockholm, Sweden where she attended the ESC conference. So happily, we mixed up some Absolut® Pineapple in the office pantry. The drink was quite good actually. The saccharine sweetness of the juice complemented the alcohol perfectly.

But unfortunately, drinking it made me Absolutely sleepy. Alcohol drowsiness combined with my usual afternoon slump in energy is a killer, I tell you. I could barely keep my eyes open. On top of that, had a throbbing headache. And I just had the hardest time concentrating on what the speaker was saying on the MD I was transcribing. And he just HAD to be the kind of speaker that likes to mumble to himself…%&*@#!!!
Afternoons aren’t the most sensible time to drink alcohol I know, but what to do, we couldn’t very well drink after work as we all needed to drive. So, after lunch was the Absolutely logical time to have a drink.
I don’t think I even had that much to drink. Hmm…perhaps my sleepiness is just an Absolute allergic reaction/side effect to my boss. Haha, she makes me sleepy and tired…cause the past two days when she wasn’t around, I was alert and efficient.
I really couldn't take the drowsiness anymore and drove back after work to take a nap before meeting some friends for dinner. Usually, I would just go from work to beat the mad after-work rush. But the pleasure I derived from that 45 minutes nap made braving the Federal jam Absolutely worth it!!
I stumbled upon this picure while looking for pictures for my blog... Isn't Jason Lewis (Smith Jerrod) of Sex and the City fame a hunk?
ABSOLUT-LY!! One hundred percent!
Some interesting Sex and the City trivia:
The Absolut® Hunk (a drink which the actresses sipped on the set in the epidose where Smith made his acting breakthrough with the very same ad as above) has now become a real life drink phenomenon and ordered in bars all over Manhattan, NYC.
Absolut® Hunk recipe:
Ingredients
4 Parts Absolut Vanilla®
1 Part simple syrup
1 Part fresh lime juice
A splash of pineapple juice
Directions
Pour Absolut Vanilla® over ice in a shaker. [Create simple syrup by mixing equal parts water and sugar together and stand mixture aside until it has dissolved into a simple syrup]
Add simple syrup, fresh lime juice and a splash of pineapple juice.
Strain and serve in chilled martini glass. Garnish with a lime.
