We took a hiatus. “Girls” may be over for the season, but we wanted to keep drinking. And so we did. And put it on digital for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy this beverage, please. I did.
Ps thank you Captain Morgan for the barrage of rum. It was delightful.
Pps Everyone PLEASE get some friggin’ queso.
Pairs Well With Queso (makes 2)
2 1/2 oz grapefruit rum
1 1/2 oz bourbon (used my favorite standby Maker’s Mark)
1 1/2 oz dry vermouth
1 1/4 oz Purely Syrup Habanero simple syrup
Tonic water
Mixture of cane sugar and sweet Hungarian paprika
1/2 a grapefruit
Press a glass into the grapefruit, then dip in the sugar/paprika mixture.
Shake everything else but the tonic. Strain and top with tonic.
You guys I promise in a month when GIRLS is over I will get back to posting non-drink recipes. In the meantime…Please make The Bridgid:
Modeled after a cocktail Bridgid really liked at Basic, a bar in Brooklyn.
If you just want the recipe go about 6 minutes 45 seconds in.
Girl on GIRLS is hobbling along. We got to be special guests on a much larger after show last week which was wicked exciting! And this week comedian Rakefet Abergel is our special guest so that’s nifty.
In other acting news I had a part in a legit movie (starring Rosanna Arquette-the Oscar winner Patricia’s sis and most importantly, star of “Desperately Seeking Susan”)
That also was wicked exciting.
And I’m gonna do some sketch comedy I wrote in March. Woot! And wicked. Bridgid will be in that with me so get to the Nerdist theatre in March for some funny.
And then there is just the ample booze to cover my pain.
The Bridgid made up by me with assistance of THE Bridgid
