 GJ> We have just had 7 consecutive days with the maximum over 35C (95F).
 GJ> One more day and we will have broken the all-time record, set in 1934.

11 days now and predicted to go on to 14; Kevin wants to go for the
all-Australia record (Marble Bar, in northern Western Australia,
above 37.8C for 160 straight days). Stupid bugger must be suffering
from heat stroke!

 GJ> All this in March, when the weather is supposed to be getting cooler!

I read that (American) Georgia is in a major drought with water
reservoirs and rivers almost empty; Bush should take a drive down and
look around, since he doesn't believe the scientists.

     Title: Procrastination Cocktail
Categories: alcohol
  Servings: 1

      2 oz gin (I use Bombay regular,
           not Sapphire)
    3/4 oz dry vermouth (Noilly Prat) 
    3/4 oz limoncello (homemade) 
        ds green Chartreuse 

Stir with ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass; garnish with
lemon peel.

The challenge started with finding a decent drink, or any drink for
that matter, that calls for limoncello. You see, a few months back
there was a big discussion going on over at eGullet's Fine Spirits &
Cocktails Forum about making limoncello, and I wound up putting
together a batch.

Limoncello is lovely stuff to have around the house, for sipping
after dinner right out of the freezer. But I can't leave things
alone, so I started looking around for a cocktail that called for it
as an ingredient. Results? ZERO (if you ignore its occasional use in
a vodka-based Lemon Drop, which I do). So I started playing around,
and to my great surprise, I stumbled across something worth making
more than once. Because of the delay it took me to post it on this
site (I actually came up with it a month or so back, and waited
several weeks after putting it on eGullet to put it here), I'm
calling it the Procrastination Cocktail.

I was really surprised by this, between the gin, vermouth &
chartreuse, there are a lot of herbal flavors going on in the glass,
but the limoncello brings its bright, fresh lemonyness into the mix
and makes everyone get along just dandy. The drink is nice without
the chartreuse, too, but just a few drops of this liqueur really
makes the flavor and aroma blossom, as if you'd thrown a bouquet of
flowers into the mixing glass.
