Well, this is simultaneously depressing and awe-inspiring. Lester Hutt of BevShots had the brilliant idea of creating photographic prints of booze droplets as they appear when magnified 10,000x. The resulting abstract masterpieces are enough to make any creative type want to curl up in the fetal position, lick the booze right off the slides and cry, because honestly — how can we possibly compete with nature?

This week is dragging and I could go for a tall cold glass of something right about now. Perhaps a grapefruit margarita. Here’s how to make one:

Ingredients:
Wedge of lime
2 teaspoons coarse margarita salt
14 ounces ruby red grapefruit juice, with pulp (about 3 medium grapefruits)
1 ounce lime juice
5 ounces tequila
2 ounces triple sec
4 slices grapefruit or twists

1. Rub the lime wedge around the rims of 4 margarita glasses. Dip in salt and set aside.

2. Combine half the juices, tequila and triple sec in a cocktail shaker with ice.

3. Shake until chilled and then pour into 2 of the glasses.

4. Garnish with a twist or slice of grapefruit.

5. Repeat to make two more cocktails.
