Cocktails for Drowning Sorrows
From our vantage point at the end of the bar, we can't help but notice that the pub is undergoing a change of season. Now that we have all of that election nastiness behind us, people are turning their attention to more convivial pursuits. Yes, gentle reader, the time for holidays and merry making is almost upon us.
In this spirit your fearless Anokoblogger has an offering of special libations to enliven any soiree. Each one has been designed by the Anokoblogger himself, and tested by the usual assortment of nefarious characters at hand.
First, on the occasion of the opening of the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library we have:
Monica Lewinsky
1 1/2 oz White Rum
1/2 oz Blue Curacao
Cream
In a cocktail shaker, mix rum and curacao well with ice. Pour a small amount of cream into a cocktail glass. Slowly strain the rum and curacao into the glass, so that the cream "stains" the bottom, but doesn't mix. Garnish with a cherry.
But those were the good old days. Sorrows these days are tougher to drown, so now we have a couple of high caliber cocktails designed to blow those cares to kingdom come.
Suicide Bomber
3 oz Orange Vodka
splash lime juice
Serve over ice, in a rocks glass.
Rocket Propelled Grenade (or RPG)
3 oz Rum
1 1/2 oz Pineapple Juice
1/2 oz Grenadine
Mix rum and pineapple juice with ice and pour into highball glass. Add grenadine and serve garnished with orange slice.
But the biggest bummer of all this holiday season is four more years of that smirking, murderous Pretender in Thief, W. So we present the strongest for last, use only with caution.
George W.
1 1/2 oz Vodka
1/2 oz "43" liquor
1/8 oz cocaine
Mix first two ingredients well with ice in cocktail shaker. Strain through the panties of a cheerleader into a cocktail glass decorated with a tiny paper "missile defense" umbrella. Garnish with cocaine.
Those are but a few of the cocktails we will need to survive the coming season of cheer. Don't hesitate to share your favorite recipes with the Anokoblogger and his staff of willing anokolackeys. We'll test them all for a spiny and nocturnal year-end review of the tastiest and most medicinal slayers-of-sorrows that we can find.
