Cocaine Princess here.
I found this amusing article in the city's newspaper: "2010 Seasonal Spousal Translator" to help out husbands and boyfriends to decipher what their wives and girlfriends are really thinking during the most wonderful time of the year.

“Honey, have you seen the Scotch tape?”
WHAT SHE REALLY MEANS:
“Could you please go to the store and get me some.”

“Let’s not waste money on stuff neither of us need!”
WHAT SHE REALLY MEANS:
“All I really want is for you to organize the garage.”

INGREDIENTS:
Today's Christmas themed drinkie is in honor of a traditional holiday classic....
"The Grinch"
"This green cocktail, called the Grinch, has none of the nasty elements of Dr. Seuss's classic holiday character. On the contrary, it's reminiscent of the changed Grinch with the sweetest flavors; melon-flavored Midori and lemon juice. It's all sweetened even further with a little simple syrup. Add a maraschino cherry for the garnish for color and to represent the changed heart of the green man."
INGREDIENTS:
* 2 oz Midori
* 1/2 oz Lemon Juice
* 1 tsp Simple Syrup
* Maraschino Cherry For Garnish
DIRECTIONS:
1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice.
2. Shake well.
3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
4. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
