    My husband tells me the kids (and by "kids" I mean anyone younger than me) in the neighborhood are calling next Tuesday Cinco de Drinko. I'm pretty sure this smoothie isn't what they have in mind.

    It's unlikely I'll be celebrating with tequila or beer or whatever the local pubs are likely to be offering. I don't handle that stuff as well as I might have ten or so years ago. This drinko, on the other hand, has all of my current personal favorite vices: coffee, chocolate and hot peppers. What more could I ask for to celebrate our southern neighbor's independence?

      This sounds like a much better way to celebrate than with alcohol- for a start- all day celebrations with no guilt!

      This looks wonderful! I'm in the same boat - I don't handle hard liquor very well now that I'm older. It gives me a stomach ache. This looks like a much better option!
