thirsty thursday: Shamrocktini

not going to lie, nothing in this is at all, even close to what you really SHOULD be drinking on St. Patty's day...
but i'm assuming that everyone knows how to put Jameson & Bailey's into a shot glass, drop it into a Guinness & CHUG, CHUG, CHUG!

 

Shamrocktini

 
for the girly men:
 

paraphenalia:

• Add 1 to 1 and 1/2 oz of melon flavored vodka (such as Van Gogh's Melon Vodka)
• Add 1 oz melon liqueur
• Add a dash of orange juice

Shake or stir quickly and then strain into a lowball or martini glass

winner winner chicken dinner!

I promised that the Give-Away wordie word contest thinger would be over & a winner picked on the 8th.
-that was smart dumb of me because i was out of town that day. BUT, i'm back now & i've picked a winner.

All of the entries were awesome. 

i'd like to give a few honorable mentions (runners up):

To AmeCakes, my luv-tartlet from reality & Listening Around thank you for being the best DAB & keeping the use of Amaze-balls alive. don't ever let me forget to use it. We should probably make a word of the day calendar. project time.

To Conor my Irish boy Fancy-face from Pizza Box, Curmudgeonly is a fantasmic word. it reminds me of that Brad Garret 7-Up commercial (in the states). it's a very good one, & i'm considering getting that shirt for you for X-mas just so i can see pictures of you wearing a shirt that says that around London. we'll talk.

now... for the winner... (drum rolll........)

Miss Mercedes, my luvs guru, boytastic adviser from How to REALLY hold on to your Man, wins this contest!
MM - you win for 2 reasons. Your word was a combo word (5 points!) that you made up, & it's been added to my vocabulary. Any word that i hear & immediately NEED to find a reason to say, is perfectionalistic & it needs to be spread like wild fire.
so my dear, you have won a...

Thirsty Thursdays!

Ok. so i was looking for a different recipe (much more summery) but i couldn't find the exact one i wanted... SO... next week maybe.

...because i spent so much of my blog hour (lunch hour) looking for that, i don't have time to write a very long post. but, thankfully, it's ok, but it's a VERY EASY "recipe" this time... (only three ingredients!"

Dirty Girl Scout Shot

inspired by the amaaaazingly yum cookies Thin Mints, the Dirty Girl Scout has a chocolate-mint flavour thats yummy, but also makes me a little nervous (don't have these if you've been drinking margs or anything acidic all night beacuse they are cream based... you've been warned!)

Pariphinelia:

• creme de coaco (mr. boston)
• creme de menth (mr. boston)
• Bailey's Irish Cream
• shot glass
• spoon

How to make it:

• pour in some creme de coaco (a little less than 1/2 of the shot glass)
• add the same amount of the creme de menth.
• top off the shot with some Bailey's Irish Cream by pouring it over the edge of a spoon.

the first time that i had one of these shots was on my 21st birthday (where i, yes, little me, did 21 drinks on my 21st... whooot!) The DG was i think number... 17? maybe? & i believe it was in between a Kamikazee & a German Chocolate Cake... needless to say i didn't remember how it tasted until about a year later when i had one again & luvd it. mmm. (plus, not to mention the fact that mint & chocolate are like, the best flavours ever. ever.)

The drink can also be made as a cocktail vs. a shot, but i've never had it that way. I feel like that might be too much. i'll have a DG & finish my night w/ the Chocolate Milk of beers.. a nice, tall, phat Guiness. o man... i'm thirsty now!
