Mercury Rising

To say that this weekend was hot is the understatement of all understatements. 107 is not hot, it is deadly. And if your AC decides to go kaput on the hottest day of the year (no, make that the hottest day ever), well then, my friend, youre screwed. Needless to say it was a very long, and did I mention, HOT, weekend. In honor of the hell-ish temperatures, I present you with a little beverage thats sure to send your internal mercury downward.
