It's Cocktail Time !!! - part 2

So... it's the time... ;)

It's already May 26th here in Indonesia... so I think it's my time to show my work .. ;)

The kind of cocktail that I got is TEQUILA SUNRISE, which I'm glad cause the color is not pink... [gosh... pink is just my weak point... ;)]

Since this is my first Blog Hop, so I just made whatever I could with the color of Tequila Sunrise. I made 2 pcs of accessories, and they're actually not a set.. not connected one with another..

Here's the first one :
A pair of earrings, made from yellow plastic roses, transparent orange glass beads & antique brass findings. 

And the second one :
A medium size necklace using glossy varnished clay roses with each color represents the ingredients of Tequila Sunrise itself. Maroon for the grenadine syrup, yellow for freshly squeezed orange juice, and orange for orange slice as the garnish. Other materials are antique brass.

Well, I really cross my fingers now.. hoping that both of them could meet the requirement for this Cocktail Hour Blog Hop.. ;)

After 'enjoying' my works, please hop to other blogs and find many lovely pieces of the blog hop participants.

Last but not least, thanks a lot to Amy Freeland as the Hostess from :  Copper Diem
for included me in this blog hop.

It's Cocktail Time !!!

This morning, finally, I received the email that I've been waiting for like a week.
It's an email from Amy Freeland of Copper Diem Blogspot. The email is about Cocktail Hour Blog Hop. You can read what it's all about here.

My cocktail will be Tequila Sunrise [yay! it's not pink!! ;p].


The Tequila Sunrise is a cocktail made in two different ways, the original (tequila, crème de cassis, lime juice and soda water) and the more popular concoction (tequila, orange juice, and grenadine syrup). Originally served at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel, where it was created by Gene Sulit in the 1930s or 1940s,the cocktail is named for the way it looks after it has been poured into a glass. The denser ingredients (cassis or grenadine) settle, creating gradations in color that mimic a sunrise. The more popular version was invented by Bobby Lazoff and Billy Rice at the Trident restaurant in Sausalito California in the early 1970s[taken from Wiki].

One of the recipes that I can find in the net is :

Ingredients
  • 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger tequila
  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • ice cubes
  • 1/2 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger grenadine syrup
  • 1 slice orange, for garnish
  • 1 maraschino cherry for garnish

Directions

  1. Stir or shake together tequila and orange juice. Fill a chilled 12 ounce glass with ice cubes; pour in orange juice mixture. Slowly pour in the grenadine, and allow it to settle to the bottom of the glass (be patient). Garnish with a slice of orange, and a maraschino cherry.



And now the homework is.......

Lagu Sialan, Penyanyi [baru] Sialan...



Sang by this [new] singer.


The song's lyric [complete, by the real singer, Dave Matthews Band]  :

I've this creeping 
Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
Oh, reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep?
Oh, I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see
Oh, I have done wrong
But what I did I thought needed be done
I swear
Oh, Unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
God knows it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go a long way
Far from that fool's mistake
And now forever pay
No, run
I will run and I'll be ok
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go a long way
To bury the past
For I don't want to pay
Oh, and I wish this
To turn back the clock and do over again
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go alone
Oh, I need so
To stay in your arms see you smile hold you close
Oh, And it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and a bone chilling cold
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Just tell me you will
Let it all fall out
Let it all fall out

........

This song is haunting me. Yes, haunting. Still listening to it up to now. Can't count how much time already i listen to this song.
