A friend recently showed me a post by an underage camwhore about boozing up gummies and making them the stuff of nightmares. And if you’ve been following my blog long enough you know that I don’t bother making a point unless I mean to take it so far past its logical extreme that it leaves you awake at night, hugging your knees and shaking back and forth, wishing you were this amusing.

And unlike most of my drink posts, this isn’t waiting until the next Friday because you need time to prepare these if you’er going to be dealing with family this “festive*” season.

Been a while since I’ve posted a new drink… or anything really.

A lot’s been going on with me, and I’ve been feeling a tad locked down. So I decided to drink it profusely!

Apologies if the formatting on this one’s a little odd. I’m writing it via email from my phone. And I’ve got to admit that this one isn’t actually mine. I found it on the cocktail menu, of all places, of a La Porchetta.

However, it fits the theme and is still rather enjoyable, so why not?

Glass: Highball

Ingredients:

• 30ml Chambord
• 30ml Strawberry liqueur
• 150ml Blood orange soft drink
• ice

Method:
Build the drink over ice. For a more dramatic effect, shake the liquor in a strainer with a gumming agent, such as egglike, and get it to float through the blood orange soda like clots.

Garnish:
Don’t bother. This ones for parties, not presentation. If you have to make it fancy, see if you can find some red Sago beads that can sit at the bottom.

A particularly good friend of mine came to town on Wednesday for the Iron Maiden concert, but ended up not going due to a whole bunch of circumstances that are straight out of the worst of soap operas. This culminated in myself and friend Cyraxis taking her out in the Italian district at about 2am for something to eat while she freaked out about catching a 6am flight in an attempt to get back home even faster than her previous travel arrangements, blowing a rather large wad of cash in the process… as opposed to blowing me, goddamnit!

Anyway, the place we ended up in happened to do milkshakes and serve booze. (more…)
