Chupa, meet your cocktail namesake:
Chupa was an excellent pet. Not my pet, but one I became close to over the last several years. There was nothing like being woken up by the Chup-ster. Someone in St. Louis put your hands over Java’s eyes lest he see that. I swear cats can read only the things you don’t want them to.
I came across a recipe for a drink called the chupa cabra and thusly made it in her honor. Then I googled it and found a lot of different chupacabra recipes, all wildly different, but they all had tequila. So even if you don’t make this, do a shot and send some cat love.
Here’s to you, Chupa!
Chupa Cabra(slightly adapted from the Mixology app)
2 oz. white tequila
1/2 oz. Campari
1/2 oz. lime juice
3/4 oz. ruby red grapefruit juice
1 tsp. sugar
Dash of angostura bitters
Slice of lime.
Shake everything but the lime slice with ice then strain.
Scrumptious Gruel 
Sweet Chupa! I know you miss her.
Yes, she was a sweet kitty.

Oh, so much sweet love to that little angel you were lucky to have known! I dedicate my glass of wine tonight to sweet Chupa (cuz God knows I cannot drink tequila…) :).
Haha, I don’t think I finished that drink either. I thank you for the wine dedication:)

Aww cute! I absolutely love cats, it’s a common thing among Russian females, i think. Cheers to Chupa!
Thank you! Yes, kitties are good. Even for us non-Russian females. Although people are always telling me I look Russian so maybe that counts for something:)
