All This For a Tiara?

A Devious Arrangement by J Wilde

Join Lynn, Kim and Jen as they discuss a fake relationship that turns very real, a hot MMC who is stalkery in an adorable way, and a plot that exists solely to justify why we had to climb a rope in gym class to pass middle school. Put on your favorite tierra and join us for the cocktails and laughs!

Signature Cocktail: The Polished Princess

We went with The Polished Princess as a nod to Bash?s ?princess? Anastasia, who isn?t nearly as innocent as she looks?and that?s exactly why he can?t stay away. This cocktail starts sweet, ends bold, and lives in that same tension of desire and deception. It's absolutely beautiful. 

Ingredients:

8 fresh cranberries, divided

3/4 ounce simple syrup

1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 pinch pumpkin spice

1 1/2 ounces vanilla vodka

1 large egg white

In a cocktail shaker, combine 5 cranberries, simple syrup, lemon juice, and pumpkin spice. Muddle well. Add the vanilla vodka and egg white and dry shake without the ice. Once thoroughly shaken add ice and shake again. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and add 3 floating cranberries for a beautiful garnish. 

 

Please note you can change out the primary liqueur for tequila, or gin as well.

Grab a drink and laugh with us, because this is what happens when ambition, chemistry, and audacity all hit ?reply all.?

 

Signature Cocktail: The Priest and The Whore

A cocktail with equal parts devotion and temptation

Ingredients

The Priest (clean, crisp, righteous)

2 oz Audacity Vodka

1 oz fresh lemon juice

½ oz simple syrup

2 dashes orange bitters

The Whore (sweet, seductive, dangerous)

1 oz blackberry liqueur (like Chambord)

½ oz grenadine

Splash of ginger beer or soda for a little sparkle

Garnish

A lemon twist and a blackberry ? because duality matters

Optional: a tiny sprig of thyme (for that ?holy? aesthetic)

Directions

Shake the Priest: Add Audacity Vodka, lemon juice, simple syrup, and bitters to a shaker with ice. Shake until it?s cold and clean.

Pour the Whore: In the bottom of a chilled rocks glass, pour in the blackberry liqueur and grenadine to create a deep, sultry base.

Bring Them Together: Slowly strain The Priest mix over the back of a spoon so it layers on top like a halo over sin.

Finish with a little sparkle: Add a splash of ginger beer or soda to give it a playful lift.

Garnish: Add your lemon twist (purity) and a blackberry (temptation) on a pick.

Hat Tricks and Big...

Love on Ice by Ja Low

Join the cousins for this heartfelt love story, where fake dating leads to real feelings and hockey meets heart. Not a hockey fan? Doesn't matter, most of the action takes place between the sheets not on the ice. Grab your "Hat Trick" cocktail and settle in for a fun, flirty discussion of Love on Ice and all the sparks that fly both on and off the rink!

 

Signature Cocktail: The Hat Trick

This drink inspiration comes from the game itself. The idea of a "Hat Trick" in hockey is where a player scores three goals in one game. Although our characters "scored" way more than three times I think this one will be a winner for you too. 

Ingredients:

2 oz Vodka  1 oz cranberry juice 1 oz lime juice  ½ oz orange liqueur  Splash of club soda Ice red sugar for glass rim

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, vodka, orange liqueur, lime juice, and cranberry juice. Shake well until the shaker is thoroughly chilled (about 15-20 seconds). Prepare your highball glass by dipping the rim in water then placing the rim in red sugar. Strain the cocktail into your beautifully rimmed glass and add a splash of soda to give it some fizz.

Lights Out by Navessa Allen

We're back baby! Jen, Lynn and Kim talk stalking, kitty cats and polite mafia good guys. 

Signature Cocktail: The Fred Fizz

Ingredients: Bourbon Whiskey, Simple Syrup, Lemon Juice, Orange Curacao, Lemonade, Shaved Ice. 

Grab a tumbler and fill it 3/4ths of the way full with ice. Then measure out 2 ounces of your preferred bourbon or rye whiskey and pour it into the tumbler. Add 1.5 ounces of fresh squeezed lemon juice and 1/2 an ounce of simple syrup. Put your top on your tumbler and shake till it's ice cold and frost starts to form on the outside. In a tall glass add 1-2 scoops of shaved ice. Strain your shaken cocktail into the shaved ice. Float a layer of orange curacao on top. In a second glass add 4 - 6 ounces of lemonade. Pour your first glass into the second one. This step seems convoluted but the pouring the first mixture into the second is what creates the fizz part of the Fred Fizz. * Remember you can substitute other flavors for whiskey, simple syrup and even limeade for extra fun and a little variety.
