Cocktail: Prison Bitch. Shake 1 oz vodka, .5 oz triple sec, .5 oz amaretto almond liqueur, 2 oz cranberry juice and 2 oz orange juice with ice. Pour into tall glass. Threaten your drink a little. Curse. Feel tough.
Inspired by Author of the Day, Jack Henry Abbott’s In the Belly of the Beast: Letters from Prison shares stories of 25 years behind bars (he’s in his late 30s). Fascinating. Troubling. Compelling.
Cocktail: Alcoholic Sherbert Delight. Combine 5 oz orange juice, 2 oz Absolut Mandrin vodka, 2 oz spiced rum, 1 oz gin and 2 dashes grenadine syrup in a highball glass. Be sure to make your first pour the OJ. Serve and delight.
Inspired by Author of the Day, Anne Brontë’s novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Considered a classic, this book is fantastically gothic with its alcoholism, marital breakdown, and the position of women all set in Victorian society. Based some on dealing with her brother, Brontë’s novel scandalized then and still grips readers today. Indulge!
Shake 1oz Absolut Citron, 1oz blue curacao and 1/2oz sweet & sour mix with ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon slice
Shake 3/4 oz Absolut Kurant, 3/4 oz Midori melon liqueur, and 1 oz cranberry juice in shaker with ice.
Pour into glass, splash with Sprite and serve.
Mmmmmmmmmm not as great as the real thing but baby, it’s guaranteed to satisfy.
