With your accumulation of Waffle-Weave towel orders, you could be the ken of Waffles!

Ahhh, what ever IS a ken anyway?? Here's one definition...

ken [ken] noun
1. An extreme enthusiast of car care products who continuously shares his/her love for a specific product on various car care and/or car-related forums. Named after a funny NAMer who goes by the name "Kenchan".

In reality, I'm probably really the ken of cantaloupe martinis.

But whatever, waffle-weaves works too!

Absolutely:

Use a shaker (obviously), and put in:

1 oz orange-flavored vodka (Grey Goose L'Orange, Absolut Mandarin, etc)
2 oz watermelon-flavored schnapps (DeKruyer's Watermelon Pucker, etc)
2 oz pulp-free orange juice

Shake like crazy w/ crushed ice and pour into martini glass. I like to top it w/ a few tablespoons of crushed ice (the really little pieces).

Yummy. I think I will go make one!

Yummy is right! Thanks for the recipe! (and thanks for asking for it bama!) A trip to the store for the ingredients later this evening is on my schedule now.

MLW- I actually think it'd be more fun to be the ken of cantaloupe martinis, if I were you! I mean, waffle-weaves are cool an' all, but really, can they hold a candle to a martini??

BTW, have I mentioned lately that NAMers are the KINGS (and queens!) of thread hijacking?!? Although I'm sure that newbies find it hard to find information because of it, I have to admit I kinda like it (most of the time, anyway). It's fun that everyone is so conversational and social in the midst of all the serious talk.

Don't forget to add the 1oz of Hydro to the mix! (If you are Kenchan, anyway)

Hydro is even the same color as cantaloupe!

btw, make sure you get a bottle of Prima Hydro when you make that
purchase.


That should be the only response required. Except you should make it a gallon of Hydro and a gallon of Mystique....
