Blue Balls Shot

Posted on June 24, 2011 | 2 Comments

It’s Girls Night Out and you and the ladies just want time to mix it up alone. Trouble is, there’s a small cluster of men at the bar who just won’t take no for an answer despite your polite refusals of no interaction. Send them a bold message loud and clear.

Blue Balls

1 measure Coconut Rum

1 measure Peach Schnapps

1 measure Lemon Juice

Combine liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into multiple shot glass. Serve with “U and Ur Hand” by Pink playing loudly in the background.

Rather sweet concoction with sweet tartness candy similarity. Barely there hint of coconut. Great hint of peach and coconut aroma.

Shot of Mischievous Pleasure

Posted on April 22, 2011 | Comments Off

This song is stuck in my head; I Know What Boys Like by the Waitresses. The song was an 80’s pop hit from the album Wasn’t Tomorrow Wonderful. It’s a teasingly fun song with a bit of a mean streak. It reminded me of the cat and mouse game of Friday night shots. The potent little cocktails in a glass entice, tease and tempt, then strike with merciless results.

Still everyone loves a little shot of mischievous pleasure once in a while…
