It's finally Fri-nally, bitches!!!! That means a good Happy Hour to draw what seem like the week that wouldn't end, to a close!
Which for the evening might I recommend a Between the Sheets! How appropriate right? I give you one of my close to cuff secrets kids. This after Prohibition after- dinner drink was meant to seduce as well as settle. It accomplishes both and can be good for a lovely Happy Hour. While most recipes call for an ordinary brandy, this little elegant version- made at the bar of Jerusalem's King David Hotel in the 1930's is preferred.
1 oz cognac, no rubbish
1 oz Cointreau
1 oz dry gin, no rubbish
Juice of two lemons.
Put plenty of cracked ice in a cock-a-tail shaker, add ingredients and shake briskly. Strain into a cock-a-tail glass. To make a drier drink, reduce the amount of Cointreau. To seduce, make plenty.
Happy Weekend Bitches!!!!!
Cheers
Not sure about "seduce" - that cock-a-tail sounds lethal! More the post-Prohibition equivalent of rohypnol, really.
ReplyDeleteI'll take two.
Clink, clink, sweetie! Jx
Oh don't worry dear, it makes panties drop.
DeleteYours wouldn't need more than a Radler (Shandy) to drop, dear. Jx
DeleteOhhh that cocktail sounds fabulous!
ReplyDeleteOk, so here's one for you: It's called OAXACAN PENICILLIN and it's Scotch, Ginger-Honey Syrup, Lemon and Del Maguey Mezcal. It's from my fav bar: La Pharmacie, in Edgewater.
Oh, and they add a little slice of caramelized ginger. *chef's kiss*.
If you come back to Chi, we need to go there and get smashed.
XOXO
I've never been too big on Mezcal.... but I'm sure you can turn me on to another cocktail flog my mind. Yes we need a get together!
DeleteI have never had a Between the Sheets, nor have I had a Slow Comfortable Screw. I do, however, remember that boiler maker (and helper) when I was 26.
ReplyDeleteThat drink sounds delightful.
ReplyDeleteWell, that slipped down a treat! Who's ne- I mean, what's next?
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that was the drink that slipped down??
Deletethanks for the recipe, but I don't really drink alcohol.
ReplyDeleteIf Friday doesn't call for a drink, I don't know what does!
ReplyDeleteAny day that ends in day?
DeleteHave a great weekend, Mads!
ReplyDelete(Oh, and is this the drink you served the Lumbersexual, lo! these many years ago? 😉😁)
Actually, it's all him and his weed.
DeleteI'll make plenty for the seduction!
ReplyDeleteDon't think for a moment I'm not going to try this recipe. Just imagine when my friends call they will ask what I'm doing. And I can reply I'm enjoying a Between the Sheets!
ReplyDeleteI love those Graphics too they're adorable.
They will think your scandalous since moving to the beach!!!!
DeleteYou make me miss drinking. I can't have that stuff anymore.
ReplyDeleteTundra Bunny here...
ReplyDeleteDuring the 1920's, gin was known as "panty remover".... and it's apparently your liquor of choice in 2023. Coincidence? I think not, LOL!
2023? Not to mention every year since 2015!!!!!!
DeleteHands up; I don't think I've ever drunk a cocktail and unlikely to start now. A Bailey's cafe latte is about my limit, and even then it's got to be a scorcher of a day.
ReplyDeleteNot even a Pimm's Cup?!?!?!?!?!?!
Deleteyou are such/suck a pleasure seeker
ReplyDeleteI intend to enjoy all the earthly delights!!!!
