Slippery Slope:

Wasabi powder

Sake

Lime juice

Splash of gin

So maybe you took a step down a slippery slope the other night. Maybe you tumbled a little farther than you thought. No worries. We can get you back up with a certain cocktail. Mix wasabi powder, sake, lime juice and a splash of gin. Strain it into a Collins glass, and take a hearty swallow.

That fire in your nose?

That kick?

It’ll knock you right back up to where you started.

Top of the hill with your feet firmly planted.

You’re good.

No slippery slope for you, no matter how pretty you feel when you slide into that blue dress he sent over to your place for you to wear tomorrow. It fits perfectly, like he knows all the curves and dips of your body.

No matter how sharp the drop seems when you read the note he included: I’d say try not to look too tempting, but that’s a lost cause. See you tomorrow night.

Slippery slope indeed.
