Hey, 2009, wanna grab a drink and see where it leads us?
If you said goodbye to 2008 and welcomed the New Year in properly, chances are you're in dire need of some liquid assistance. Right now you're head is probably throbbing, while you're replaying broken fragments from the previous night in your head: "How did I get home last night?"; "Did I really eat two pounds of cocktail wieners without barfing?"; "Wait is that puke?"; "Why do I smell like a $2 hooker?"; "Is that a $2 hooker in the bathtub?" You get the picture, right? New Year's Day is famous for the opportunity to start fresh, but like most of us, it's also infamous for bringing on a vicious hangover that makes you just want to die. Cheer up, Chief, we've got just what the doctor ordered.
WEEK 40:
Sufferin' Bastard
1 ounce bourbon
1 ounce gin
1/4 ounce fresh lime juice
Dash of Angostura bitters 3 to 4 ounces chilled ginger ale
mint sprig (if you have one just laying around)
Shake the bourbon, gin, lime juice and bitters with ice. Strain the ingredients into an ice-filled glass, top with ginger ale, and garnish with a mint sprig.
Don't pop a couple of aspirin and veg out on the couch watching reruns of Happy Days, regretting the previous night's debauchery. As proud practitioners of the "Hair of the Dog that Bit You" philosophy, we urge you to get in the kitchen, grab your finest glassware and mix yourself up a little "liquid relief." Today is not a day to waste or spend catching up on z's; it's a day that breathes new possibilities, so start with an exceptional cocktail and go from there. We chose this specific drink, not only for its potency, but for its rejuvenating effects. We're huge fans of a well-made Bloody Mary after a night of excess, but you celebrated like a rock star last night, so why not recover like one, too. For the gin, we went with Tanqueray and for the bourbon we classed it up with Woodford Reserve. And because we're proud to call our neighbor to the north a friend, eh, we went with a little Canada Dry for the ginger ale. Now slam one of these down, have a big, greasy breakfast, re-hydrate, and start making a list of ways you're going to kick the crap out of 2009.
From all of us at ScapeGoat Ink, cheers and Happy New Year!
