Barca and MrsOldLady are off cavorting at some bar in San Francisco this week. Here's the latest:

Not being a white woman attending a southern college in the 1950's, I never developed a taste for Sloe Gin. But I always wanted to order a Long Slow Comfortable Screw Against The Wall or some deveration of that from an attractive bartendress. I invented a drink I called a Slow Ride.
It was bad. In fact, I exclaimed "This sucks!" In retrospect, I may have been a little premature in my final evaluation. It sucked like the suckiest bunch of sucks to every suck in suckdom. Sloe Gin is anathema to a serious drinker, much like Rock and Rye Pucker. But I liked all the accoutremont surrounding those slow, sexy-in-an-underage-bra-stuffing-sort-of-way drinks. So I went back to the lab and remembered that Rum is proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy.

Sweet Mary

3 parts light Rum
1 part Galliano
1 part Cointreau
2 parts cranberry juice
mint leaves
lime wedge
bar sugar
crushed ice

Muddle leaves and sugar at the bottom of a sturdy glass. Add Rum, crushed ice, and stir. Add Cointreau and cranberry juice. Squeeze lime over the top, and add Galliano. Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Or don't.
Sparkling water is optional, feel free to substitute lemon-lime soda and leave out the sugar.

Enjoy.

Is that a drink or a project ?

Kind of like the Alan Parsons Project of drinking. Probably pretty good but way too complicated for me.

Doc, you need to spend more time in the labs of Astonishing New Drink Recipes. Art and science living together in drunken harmony.

Is HSA making twist-offs now? WTF lazymuch.

It takes a couple of minutes, but I can put the double-bubble-here-comes-trouble porn on pause for a second while I make myself a real drink. I suggest you get your priorities straight and make time for what is truly important; getting drunk in creative and tasty ways.

And fat girl porn.

I'm missing 2 ingredients, and so am unable to try this, but i do have something to offer:

is it not more rewarding when you have to put in a little effort in order to get the desired end? Be this a drink, or whatever else you cae to name, i usually find it much better if i've 'earnt' it.

Actually, they've always been twist offs.

And the only problem I really had was that I'm missing the Galliano, the Cointreau, the mint leaves, the lime wedge, and the bar of sugar. Otherwise I would have been all over it.

Then just send your manservant out to get them. Sheesh.
