Day Tripper
BluntDinerz Original Cocktail Recipe (continued)

My ideas to get some energy on this blog never took hold, but I still find reasons to make original cocktails all the time.
Not too long ago somebody told me about fiverr.com. If you're unfamiliar with fiverr, it is a website for buying and selling small tasks and services. A lot of the tasks and services offered on fiverr didn't exist until fiverr came around.

When I sold a customized cocktail recipe on fiverr after it only being posted 22 hours, I thought to myself, "WTF, I gotta charge 'em for this?" "Is that what I've been doing wrong this whole time?" Our buyer's mind tells us that five bucks is a great value, but if it's free it must be shit.
Now you have to pay for my hand made original cocktails, suckers. Hah! Not really, only if you go to fiverr. Here, the cocktails flow freely for all readers. Ask and you shall receive.

The recent fiverr cocktail clients are from the company who developed the new smash-hit word game app, "Word Off." They wanted something to celebrate their very successful new app. This watermelon cocktail I put together is what they're getting. I'm calling it "Day Tripper" because it's a day time type of cocktail that will either have you trippin' over yourself or over the complexity of it's flavors. The combination of Sake and Cachaca was a first for me, but it worked. The orange Curacao and Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur help the lemon sour keep the drink in line of what you would expect from looking at it, but it's not typical at all. I really hope you try it and let me know what you think. Don't be afraid of the comments graveyard. lvfrankg ONE LOVE > OUR LOVE?

PS There are hundreds of fiverr rip-offs and clones. Tread carefully if you post gigs to a clone site. In my opinion they are not to be trusted. I've had some bad experiences with a couple like fluxii.net and buzzingpeople.com. Fiverr is the original and we all know what the internet eventually does to non-originality.?

Ingredients
