Re: For those not on the trivia tribe. The following:
Wed, August 5, 2009 - 10:30 PMExcept Somatochlora margarita, which sounds like the cocktail of choice for sexy entomologists.
Now here's a challenge, would any mixologists like to invent and serve me up one such margarita?
The general margarita mix, follows a number of ratios, but for the sake of this message I'll use the 2:1:1 rule of 50% tequila, 25% Triple Sec, 25% fresh lime or lemon juice, and served over ice.
A Dragonfly, as a cocktail, does exist, and is 2:2:1 40% (two parts) dark rum, 40% (two parts) cranberry juice, and 20% (one part) pineapple juice.
The drink is served over ice. -

Fri, August 7, 2009 - 8:10 AMSalisbury Sprite sounds like some kind of heavy, gravy-laden meal with a light drink.
I had no idea there were this many kinds of dragonflies.
Great Pondhawk sounds like a great team name. "Go, Pondhawks!" -
