Day 27 #napowrimo - day 21 #the100dayproject - Homemade Cocktails


My review of my own drink....

Homemade Cocktails

The mint could be more muddled,
the cucumber more thinly sliced.
The ice cubes are gigantic and
every time I tip my glass,
they hit me in the lip.
I want fresh lime juice,
but I get the leftovers
from a week before
a hint and aftertaste
of refrigerator
Then the glass sweats
Leaving a pale rim on
my end table,
but the half ounce
of rum and orange
liqueur obscures
that it is served
in a coffee mug.
