Girlie Drink of the Week
I’m a bit strung out from organizing yesterday, so I needed something quick and light to help me doze off into Dreamland. Now, in college we were not allowed to keep BOOZE* in our dorms, but you damn well know kids will hide BOOZE* anyway they can. I never did, but I remember how one friend hid her Amaretto Sour in the juice container. And that got me to the GDOTW!!
AMARETTO SOUR
- 1 ½ ounces Amaretto
- 1 to 2 ounces Sweet and Sour Mix
Pour ingredients in a shaker filled with ice, shake well, and strain into a ice-filled glass. Garnish with cherries and/or orange slices. Personally, the orange makes it a bit too acidic for my taste, so I just place cherries in mine. Believe me, you never feel it until it hits you 
Girlie Drink of the Week
My apologies to y’all. I didn’t make a GDOTW for you this past week, because….well, it’s New Year’s, and I’m pretty y’all have that covered. But BOOZE* is BOOZE*, and thanks to a friend of mine, and a spare bottle in the fridge, I shall be making these for New Year’s Day at my sister’s:
POINSETTIA
- 1 Tbsp. Grand Marnier, or Triple Sec
- 1 Part Cranberry Juice
- Champagne
- Juice of ½ lime (optional)
There are several variations of the cocktail. One version has you mix the triple sec and cranberry juice, then adding the champagne and floating the lime juice on top. Another has you pour the cranberry juice in the glass, add the champagne, and float the Grand Marnier, skipping the lime juice. Whichever you prefer, I hope it helps you to enjoy the holiday!

Ok, time for the After Christmas While Still Boozing Open Thread™! As y’all know, I am a very, VERY curious person. I am not ashamed of that. If I want to know something, I will come right out and ask.
WHAT DID YOU GET FOR CHRISTMAS??
And more importantly, for me at least….
WHAT DID YOU GIVE??
I better not hear about any sexcapades here. Just keep it to material girl stuff 
Girlie Drink of the Week
Well, I have been fighting a cold for what seems to be forever, but in reality has been only since Monday. In hindsight, I should have just let it take its course, rather than keep postponing the inevitable, only to have it during Christmas Day.
But this is what the GDOTW is for!
The Hot Toddy
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 3/4 cup Hot Tea
- 2 Shots Brandy
- 1 slice Lemon
- 3-4 Cloves (optional)
- Cinnamon sticks (optional)
Brew your tea (or just do hot water, if you prefer), add honey and brandy, stirring well. Pierce lemon slice with cloves, and float on top, adding cinnamon stick. This may not cure your cold, but it will make you not care you have one
Girlie Drink of the Week
It’s Thursday, and that means I get to post about BOOZE*. Today’s feature takes me back to my college years. This was popular with the girls in my dorm because it didn’t require a lot of ingredients or garnishing, not to mention one could hide a premixed amount in a bottle of OJ, thereby passing inspection by the RAs.
Not that I ever did that, mind you.
The Fuzzy Navel
- 1 part Peach Schnapps
- 1 part Orange Juice
- 1 part Lemonade
In a highball, mix all ingredients first, then add ice. Garnish with slices of peach and orange.
For those of you who prefer a manly drink, omit the schnapps, OJ, and lemonade, and just add vodka.
Girlie Drink of the Week
Yes, I know we had the BOOZE* of the Week earlier, but this is Hookers and BOOZE*, which means that technically, half of the posts should be about BOOZE*, right? And I know where that leads in y’all’s sense of logic, so I’ll stop there.
Yesterday while being a hostage to the Cartoon Network switching channels I saw an add for one of those weird reality shows where brides are involved. I think it was called Say Yes to the Bridezilla Acing a Cake Wondering If It’s Her Wedding Anyway. I didn’t watch it, except I did see what was being served at the “bridal luncheon”, probably to deal with five dozen women having histrionics at one sitting:
Champagne Cocktail
- 3 oz Champagne
- 1/3 oz Cognac
- Angostura Bitters
- Sugar Cube
Soak one sugar cube in a champagne flute with angostura bitters. Add champagne and cognac. Squeeze in a twist of lemon and discard. Garnish with half a slice of orange, or as I prefer, raspberries. I love the combination of lemon and raspberries, and the splash of red looks gorgeous against the pale gold of the champagne.
Remember: don’t drink it for looks. Drink it because it will make dealing with idiots at parties a lot easier.
*Yep, still G0000000gling for hits here.
Girlie Drink of the Week
Awesome! Time for BOOZE* at H&B!! After the week I’ve had (so far, because it ain’t over), I need a few of anything.
The featured drink for this week is more of a summer drink. It is also a very famous drink. There are songs, a movie, a band (or five) named after it. The ease of making it is rivalled only by the prettiness of the color, even though it falls in the orange side of the spectrum.
Tequila Sunrise
- 2 oz. Tequila
- Orange Juice
- 2 dashes of Grenadine
Pour tequila in glass of your choice with ice, and top with orange juice. Stir. Add grenadine by tilting glass and pouring grenadine down side by flipping the bottle vertically very quickly (it helps if the grenadine bottle has a little pourer to prevent over-dosing on this). The grenadine should go straight to the bottom and then rise up slowly through the drink. Garnish with cherry and an orange slice.
I have done this as a martini glass drink, too. I shake the OJ and tequila over ice, and pour into a sugar-rimmed martini glass. The grenadine looks very pretty on the bottom of the glass. My sister omits the sugar and grenadine altogether and calls it a Mexican Screwdriver. I call it heresy. My brother-in-law omits the OJ and calls it Nytol.
I can’t argue with that
Girlie Drink of the Week
In a few days, we shall be celebrating Halloween. That means some of us will be dressing up and going to parties or handing out candy, or both. What it really means is, we are going to get mighty tired of kids ringing the doorbell and saying “TRICK OR TREAT!!!” while looking down their nose at your pathetic taste in candy. I get to do that from the comfort of a block party, where all the neighbors bring their candy and we serve the kids in an assembly line. What the hell does this have to do with BOOZE*??
It means I get to start drinking early. And what better drink, than one that looks so innocent??
The Lemon Drop
- 1 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Lemon Juice
- 1 Sugar Cube
Add sugar to the rim of an old-fashioned glass, and drop a cube or packet of sugar into the bottom of the glass. Pour vodka and lemon juice into a stainless steel shaker over ice, and shake until completely cold. Pour into the prepared old-fashioned glass, and serve. Personally, I like using Sugar in the Raw™ to rim the glass, since it’s prettier than yellow colored sugar. Also, I add two cubes instead of one. Why? Well, for one thing, I like sweeter BOOZE*, and for another, I can get sloshed a lot quicker.
*Yes, still angling for the G00000glers.
Old Timer Drink of the Week
Fall is in the air! Well, not really around here, though the summertime temperatures of over 100* F have gone the way of the dodo. Still, it’s autumn regardless of the burning ball in the sky. And with autumn comes a change in girlie drinks and BOOZE** at Casa de Aggie. I move from “light and refreshing” to “warm and comforting”. By “warm” I mean syrupy and thick, not necessarily warm in temperature. I’m in Texas, not Wisconsin. So, I give you the Girlie Drink of the Week, by way of a Time Machine*:
BRANDY ALEXANDER
- 1 ½ oz. Brandy
- 1 oz. Dark Creme de Cacao
- 1 oz. Half-n-Half
- ¼ tsp Grated Nutmeg
In a shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine the brandy, creme de cacao, and half-and-half. Shake well. Strain into a sugar-rimmed cocktail glass and garnish with the nutmeg. You can also use grated allspice. I like using a combination of cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg for a very autumn-y flavor. Brings to mind pumpkin pie, only with BOOZE**.
* According to Bako, this is a Grandma drink. According to me, Grandma had it going on if she was getting sloshed to this.
** Still G0000000gling for hits.
Girlie Drink of the Week
I swear, I had this in mind before yesterday’s news.
For me, it’s all about the glass. The BOOZE* has to be in a pretty glass. That’s probably why I gravitate towards martini-like drinks so much. And probably why I own ten Lolita™ martini glasses. But presentation counts, right? I was going to do Tequila Sunrise, but I hate drinking BOOZE* from a highball. It makes me feel like I’m hiding the fact that I’m drinking BOOZE*.
So I give you instead, the Washington Apple Shot:
WASHINGTON APPLE SHOT:
- 1 oz. Whiskey (BOOZE*)
- 1 oz. Sour Apple Schnapps(BOOZE*)
- 1 oz. Cranberry Juice
- Splash of Sprite or Tonic Water
Pour whiskey, schnapps, and cranberry juice into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well, and strain into a cinnamon sugar-rimmed martini glass. Add Sprite or tonic water if desired. Garnish with an apple wedge.
*Yes, still doing the shameless G00000000gle whoring.
