My Greatest Invention
This is sunset in the Pole Creek basin above Wall Lake in the Wind River Range. It's not exactly a compelling composition but the light was nice that evening.

My invention? The Wind River Creamsicle.
Wind River Creamsicle (serves three)

750ml pure Wind River Range water, filtered
3 packets Mandarin Orange flavor* powdered fitness drink mix
3 miniatures Smirnoff Vanilla vodka

Filter 750ml of pure Wind River Range water into a one liter water bottle. Add the fitness drink mix. Shake vigorously (don't stir). Pour into three plastic insulated coffee mugs. Add one minature Smirnoff Vanilla vodka to each mug. Sit and watch the sun go down while enjoying the delicious irony of using a fitness drink as a cocktail mixer.

*Also try the Black Cherry flavor. But not Lemon-Lime, that's nasty.

:toast:
Cheers,

Count me in! Thanks to Jack, we "settled" for Crown Royale when in the Cirque of the Towers.

Nice pic too! :biggrin:

You got a great pic - fantastic sky! - and solved the problem of becoming dehydrated after drinking alcohol. Doesn't get much better than that!

Nice image. And if I were a drinkin' man, that sounds pretty good, too.

Nice! I had the Weminuche version of that drink last weekend! Except with Rasberry Vodka and Black Cherry Emergenc-C... good way to get your vitamins. :wavey:
