This drink is incredible easy. If you’re using sugar, put it in the bottom of the glass and flick in a tiny bit of water, which will make the sugarcube easy to muddle (crush). Use the back of the spoon to muddle the sugarcube, then pour ice over it and add the white wine. If you’re using amaretto, simply pour it in first before adding the ice and wine. Stir, squeeze in one half of the lime (keep the other set aside), and you’re done.

TO EAT: EASY AS PIE QUESADILLA

What You’ll Need

  • Tortillas
  • Cream cheese
  • Shredded cheddar
  • Sriracha
  • Avocado
  • Microwave
  • Knife
  • Microwave Safe Plate

Lay that little tortilla flat on the plate. On one half, spread the cream cheese, on the other, place the cheddar. On top of the cream-cheesed half, add a squiggly line of Srriracha. On top of the cheddar half, add a few slices of avocado.

The best way to slice an avocado is to cut a circle around the center of the skin, peel one half off, then hollow out the meat. Remember that lime half you set aside? Use it to keep the rest of your avocado fresh. Put the remaining avocado in a tupperware container and sprinkle with lime juice, then enjoy again in a few days.

Microwave the unfolded tortilla for a minute and a half on high. Not all microwaves are created equal, so if the one in your office is a beast, kept it in for a shorter amount of time.

Remove the quesadilla and fold in half. Make sure it’s cooled down (you’ll want to bite in immediately), then enjoy! Dip it in more Srriracha if you’re tempted. And sneak a sip of your wine cooler. We won’t tell your boss.
