Today's observation: Nothing quite brings out the kook like amateur linguistics.
Non alcoholic cocktails #3
A twofer this time. Part 1: Beetle Bailey Cream 6 parts single (whipping) cream 2 parts Lyres American Malt 1/2 part thin Chocolate syrup (e.g. Monin, or the now discontinued Alchemy Divine) Combine and stir to mix. I am reliably informed that it tastes at least as good as a certain named Irish Cream. Serve as-is or... Part 2: YB35 (because it is 2/3 of a B52) 15 ml Lyres Coffee Liqueur 15 ml Beetle Bailey Cream Pour the Coffee Liqueur into a shot glass or shot martini glass. Gently spoon the Beetle Bailey cream on top so that it forms a distinct layer. The result is rich, slightly sweet, and full of the caramel malt coffee you would hope for in such a drink. As I did not have any orange-based not-spirits to hand, this is where I stopped, hence the YB35. If you were to add a third layer of such, I would then call it a Valkyrie (the XB-70).
I was going to say: Nothing quite brings out the kook like a burra
ReplyDeleteThis brought on by a co-worker discussing the eccentric uncle-in-law who has found AN AMAZING LINK BETWEEN THE WRITING OF TWO ANCIENT CULTURES! (Separated by about 5000km and 2000 years...) And is now being paranoid about his research being stolen by a professor in the field who thought that his research 'lacked rigor'.
ReplyDeleteI heartily recommend http://skepticalhumanities.com/ which has an ongoing series on crank fringe linguistics.
