I keep ordering this when I wanna still be out but slow down drinking. Or between beers if I don’t want it to be a liquor night. The lime is refreshing the bitters feel elevated the soda is $free
For a long time I leaned into my dirtbag instincts: I’ll throw any old bubbly liquid in there, I’m not a feckless monarch, I make due anywhere with anything. First of all that’s not true, second of all there’s a bite to this tonic water that is just so good. Plays off the quarter lime squeeze like they’re old friends
Get a haircut, get rid of some clothes you haven’t worn in years, get a new houseplant, get in touch with the changing season, get grounded, get stoned, get in touch with some old friends, get some ice cream, get going
Friends you met out in the neighborhood at a bar or park or cafe or wherever a couple times and struck up a rapport with.
You don’t have eachother’s phone numbers, no social media info.
I have a couple friends like this and it’s been such a nice social change up. Always a pleasant surprise to bump into them out and about.
