Rockin' the Motherfuckin' Couch + Drunk Ahoy
Update on the Apartment o' Death: still sleeping on the couch. Attempted to sleep in the designated bedroom, lasted 30 minutes until first asthma attack, gave up the ghost and crashed on the futon. After 3 hours of heaving, retching and wheezing. WTF? Thank the gods for the Intarrwebs and the delicious distraction it provides.
Attempted all kinds of cocktail mayhem this weekend. I made a variation of a Maiden's Blush, but with a splash of Lillet, and a bit more grenadine than usual. Delightful. We're still working on the Gentleman Bastard -- using cognac as a base is a fucking pain. Nothing goes with it. We tried a cognac + benedictine + Lillet....no love.
But, a post needs a recipe. Soon, I'll be posting all of our X-class Inventions in one post. So you can see just how crappy our tastebuds are! Until then:
The Maiden's Blush**
2 oz gin
3/4 oz cointreau
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
grenadine to taste
Shake over ice. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Laugh at how far from a maiden you are, at this point in your life. Fornicate.
**I jacked up this cocktail to include:
1/2 oz of Lillet Blonde
1/2 oz grenadine
