Welcome to Greneda

My baby sister is in town.

When CeCe’s in town, you can smell it in the air – and it smells like a vodka cranberry.

My sister CeCe is a potent woman. She barges into Los Angeles every few months and she’s a hurricane of brightly colored high heels and fluorescent cocktails. Instead of lounging with the family watching a movie, CeCe demands that we all play “Drink while you think: Celebrity version” until we’re bent over, cramped, in laughter and my brother is doing his best Michael Jackson Thriller video impression.

CeCe starts veterinary school in the Caribbean in January; so obviously, every drink concoction up until her departure can be viewed as “research.” She and my other sister Kimmy came up with this little doozy just the other night, and needless to say, it got silly.

Welcome to Greneda
Crushed ice
A jigger (or two) of Malibu rum
Pineapple juice to taste
Tiny umbrella (required)

Pour all ingredients in glass. Stir to combine.

No rest for the wicked, Chrissy.

Man, I love your family. And only CeCe could figure out how to go to Veterinary school in the Carribbean.

Is the horse coming with her?

CeCe sounds like quite a character! I'm glad you two got to spend some time together. :)

oh my gosh. i just saw this. where have i been? oh yeah, thats right. LIVING IN THE CARIBBEAN! i've been here for 3 weeks and so far, we are digging the rum punch. some things that i have learned while living in grenada: 1)there are no rules. 2)you can drink, but drive responsibly. 3)the bars DO NOT close. very dangerous.
