Haiku

For a few hours

These myriad bottles on shelves

I can call my own

I wrote this haiku before I started making cocktails, while sitting at the Dragon Upstairs in Chinatown, Honolulu, my Friday night haunt for several years.

This might be my flagship cocktail, as I am a profound lover of Haiku, and this is a really damn good cocktail.

.5 oz Simple Syrup

1 oz Lime Juice
