1. For All Ages
The local smoothie place seems to have finally crossed the line between "observing the posted hours very loosely" and "never opening at all." I'm not sure when this happened, as I don't usually pass by unless I'm planning to indulge, but my beloved "So Full Of Vitamin C That Your Very Breath Will Protect Fellow Transit Passengers From Scurvy" smoothie is no longer in reach as a summer breakfast treat. Fie.
Therefore, I braved Dunkin Donuts this AM with a coupon for one of their new fruit and yogurt smoothies. The thing was better than I expected, at least in the Wildberry variety. The flavor balance was a bit far to the creamy and sweet for my taste (I prefer a smoothie with strong fruity and icy components), but overall it was more than acceptable.
2. For Adults

breadandroses pointed me at a recipe for a drink of rum and chambord and tonic (with a twist of lime.) It's tasty but right on the border of being too sweet. I need to try it with 1 oz rum and 1/2 oz liquer rather than vice versa (which is what the recipe calls for.)
The terrific side benefit of making this drink is that a 50 ml bottle of chambord looks exactly like the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
