I think a cocktail needs a garnish. Twist of lemon for the 7&7 and a lime wedge for the rum & coke. Therefore if you take a swig of diet coke, add some vanilla vodka and squeeze a little lime before you swallow that'd be a cocktail.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That's why you have simple syrup. Rose's is yuck compared to real lime.
As a serious gimlet drinker, I respectfully dissent.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I will agree with Hec, though I'm likely biased since even at home, mine are made by a professional.

I avoid the problem by drinking beer or wine at home. Though wine involves a glass, which is a dish to wash. (I refuse to drink wine out of the bottle, because even though I can eat a whole family-size box of Oreos in one sitting, there's just something unseemly about drinking a nicely aged cabernet right out of its bottle.)

And I am going to have to agree with bon bon, at least when the gimlets are made by me. I LIKE the Rose's.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In other news, now I have the special events assistant sitting outside my office door, and she's making follow-up calls to some invitations we sent out. Practically everyone she's calling is Someone, and I can tell she has no clue who any of them are. It's kind of funny, really.

I'm going to tell him you said that, missy.
But no, I'm the drink-concoctor in the household. Last night's Tasty Beverage was vanilla vodka spiked with sweet carob balsamic vinegar. It smelled exactly like perfume I'd wear. It tasted pretty good, too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But they aren't made better by being put in a glass!
Yes, they are. They need to be over ice. Are you shoving crushed ice into your Diet Vanilla Coke too?
Rum and coke is made better by adding a lime, but then you have three ingredients! Is what I was getting at.
It takes exactly three minutes to put ice in a glass, put in your shot (or two) of rum, and squeeze a lime into it. When you are finished you have a beautiful and satisfying drink, and your parents aren't ashamed of you when they come over unexpectedly and catch you swigging vodka out of your Diet Vanilla Coke like a teenager at a high school football game.

It takes exactly three minutes to put ice in a glass, put in your shot (or two) of rum, and squeeze a lime into it.
But then, once your dishes have built up, it takes 100 thousand minutes to work up the effort to wash them. Dishes suck.
