It's Glacier-ita Time!
Alaska Travelog #13
Asea in Kenai Fjords NP - Sun, 16 Jun 2024, 2:45pm
Remember how I quipped that cruising around in the ice floe at the foot of Northwest Glacier was like floating in the world's largest margarita? Well, while all of us passengers were topside taking pictures of the mountains, glaciers, icy bay, and wildlife, one of the crew was belowdecks chopping up a chunk of floating ice he'd hauled up from the water. And as we steamed away out of the bay, the bar was definitely open... for glacier-itas!
This "glacierita" is a margarita made with chunks of glacial ice. It does somehow taste better than a regular terrestrial margarita made with chunks of ice that are merely hours, or maybe days, old rather than centuries old. Maybe it's the glacial flour. Or maybe it's just taste amplification from the amazing scenery. Whatever it is, it's good enough that I'll have two. 🤣
