A Spicy Rosemary Rhubarb Margarita for, Dolly Holloway also played by @morbidoptimisim
First you'll have to make some Rhubarb Simple Syrup
2 stalks rhubarb cut into 1-inch long pieces
1 oz. honey
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
Bring all of the rhubarb syrup ingredients to a boil in a small pot over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for 10 minutes, or until the rhubarb has softened a bit. Pour the contents of the pot into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Pour the syrup into a bowl and allow it to cool completely before covering it and placing in the refrigerator until chilled.
1 and 1/3 cup rhubarb syrup
2/3 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice
2 tsp. freshly chopped rosemary
1/2 teaspoon McCormick ancho chili powder
1/2 cup tequila
1 cup ice
1-inch piece of rhubarb to garnish (optional)
1 long sprigs of rosemary to garnish (optional)
Take your serving glasses and, holding them upside down, dip the rims 1/4 inch deep into a shallow bowl of water. Then dip them into a shallow plate filled with the sea salt so that the salt sticks to the rim of the glasses. Set the glasses aside right-side up. To prepare the margarita, blend together all of the ingredients in a blender until the desired consistency is reached, then pour into the serving glasses. Garnish the rim of each glass with a rhubarb wedge rolled in sea salt and lay a sprig of rosemary across the top of each margarita.

Can confirm it is legit as I spent a stupid amount of hours on it. If ever you can't find me it's probably because I'm working on something like this and this was a super secret project. But for you it was worth it and also for that reaction. Gotta go all out for a birthday cake, you only get to celebrate for one day out of 365. Did it taste as good as it looks? Hope you had the best birthday!
He says and I quote; "challenge accepted".
I cannot thank you enough for it! I LOVED IT. Best birthday cake ever. Seriously. It’s been all over my instagram, so you’ve got your fair share of promo too. All of my friends follow you to see your chocolate magic. How do you bake in secret?! It was AMAZING. I had tons of fun, Marley spoiled the hell outta me. We decided on a full birthday weekend!
He has no idea that he’s facing the true gaming master.
Iris: I heard what happened and if you guys need anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask.
Iris: The only thing I won't do is hurt people but for those of you who can't heal as fast as others, I can definitely help with easing pain and speeding the healing process along.
Iris: And please be careful if you're headed this way!
