"#mondaymessage TLDR: sometimes dating apps are a good way to make friends
🥥
Yes, I know there’s BumbleBFF and now probably some equivalent on the other apps, but I’m talking about purely friend-zoning someone out of the gate. I know a bunch of people who have met through dating sites and maintained a friendship afterwards, either with or without the romantic attempt happening first. A few weeks ago, I came across someone who wasn’t exactly my type, but their profile was really interesting and we have a bunch of things in common (e.g., he has a podcast about dating).
🥥
So I messaged and said I wasn’t looking to go on a date with him, but that he seemed really cool and I wanted to get together for coffee sometime. Turns out he actually lives in another state, but we’ve been messaging about our creative endeavors and possibly collaborating. Anyway, a little while I posted a drink called “Poly Colada,” so today we have the:
🥥
“Piña Platonic”
Serves 2:
4 oz light rum - I used this delicious bottle provided by @srdistilled
1.75 oz saffron syrup - @royalroseme
3 oz unsweetened coconut milk
2.5 oz pineapple juice
1 oz lime juice
Since I just posted a frozen drink, I threw these ingredients in a tin with a bunch of ice and shook it up for a full minute. This is one of my favorite drinks I’ve ever made - the saffron and pineapple are a match made in heaven, unlike most of the relationships that form on Tinder.
🥥
I know the lovely owners of Shadow Ridge also have a black cat, so swipe to see a bonus picture of Archie in his tropical @madebycleo bow tie. Shadow Ridge is veteran-owned and makes fantastic spirits - make sure to go out and find a bottle near you!
