Once Again, It's A Full Moon Festival!
Gentle Drinkers,
It's good to be back at Festung Europa! That Yggdrasomething just wasn't doing it for me, somehow, and it's nice to be back on familiar turf! Let's start things off with some porn (see attached), it's nobody I know, and then we'll move on to June 2008 Drink of the Month!
With the impending 4th of July, the holiday where we'll celebrate 231 years running our own show by blowing shit up, (which is actually kind of cool, it beats giving presents) I'd like to dedicate this month's space to a tasty little cocktail named after that infamous taker-of-fingers, the Cherry Bomb. This drink gets mixed up in a cocktail shaker and goes down very much like Kool Aid, so make sure you buy lots of the ingredients because they'll disappear fast.
It starts with a cherry brandy base. Now, back in the days of Fortress Immacula, whenever I would in passing mention ANYTHING about cherry brandy to Stuckness, I would always get the third degree about whether I was referring to cherry-flavored brandy or brandy made from cherries. Hell, I don't know, and I don't care. All I know is that it tasted like really delicious cough syrup and it was a wonderful companion for summer nights in the arboretum, gazing up at the stars. So whenever I make a Cherry Bomb, I have to take a swig of the cherry brandy first, close my eyes and remember. Mmmm. Then it's mixy mixy shaky shaky with the apple juice, and out comes the sweet delicious taste of the Bomb. Mmmm!!!
Try it at home!
In a cocktail shaker, combine ice with:
a shot and a half of cherry brandy (don't know, don't care)
a shot and a half of apple cider or apple juice,
a teaspoon of lemon juice,
a dash of grenadine.
Shake it up, and strain it into a highball glass.
Enjoy,
Gonar
