Blue Crash Cocktail

Sometimes it is difficult to take a decision particularly if the result of it has a potential to change our life in some aspects or the other. We may never know what is waiting behind the door and it is distressing to find the courage to open out that door. One of my friends gathered all the strength and fortitude to make a change and wide opened the door to figure out what was waiting outside.

He left his job in the times we live in; I mean the time of financial recessions and a universal depression that holding most of us back. He decided to do the things he like such as meditating, photograph taking and working as a free lance space visualization software developer (I know it sounds rather complex but let me put it in this way; he writes specific software to create a virtual 3D version of any place on the computer, like your house, or a huge seaport with tremendous warehouses all around) for only the projects he wanted to take part. No strict deadlines, no pressure from a superior and consequently a stress-free life. He was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth (wish he were, so we could say it was easy for him), which means from now on he set out on a new way of life with earning less, buying less and consuming less. His girlfriend also followed the same path and left her job at almost the same time to attend intensive yoga trainings and bought the acoustic piano she dreamed of for long, probably it cost her half of the termination indemnity she got from the company.

For most of the people outside, these are insane actions that should never be taken but you may never know who comes out saner in the end. For those who do not have the guts to take such soul calming maneuvers, here is my new cocktail recipe to relax your mind and soothe your senses. This mind blowing drink contains a simple but a zestful ingredient that one of my beloved friends made me addicted to it; fig vodka. There might be different brands in the market with the similar taste but the one we love is a German brand; Kleiner Feigling (translates to “little coward” by the way). This is an easy drinking spirit due to its 20% alcohol percentage with a mellow, surprisingly not too sweet unique flavor. You may prefer to take it straight or on ice but it also embraced a little bit of blue curaçao very well in my Blue Crash.

Keep all your big issues aside, after a few glasses of Blue Crash you may like the life you are living even if you cannot live the life you like.
