I once read that a binge drinker is someone who consumes more than 4 drinks in a sitting. Well, if thats true, call me Binge-ann Binge-erson. Most people cannot believe I only started consuming alcohol at the tender age of 24 or 25; I had a severely broken heart & a trip to Cuba to thank for that. I rarely drink when Im alone or keep much alcohol in the house, but I LOVE it when Im socializing and I sure do enjoy how it changes my mood. When Im tipsy, Im the person I wish I had the patience to be all the time: affectionate, sweet, & hilarious. Plus I can DANCE.....well maybe I look like a drunk bear to others, but in my mind Im pretty much the pakistani J. Lo.
I must admit, Im not particularly fond of the taste of most alcohol. Beer makes me feel bloated & gassy. The smell of vodka reminds me of rubbing alcohol. Red Wine is my nemesis. Jack Daniels & other hard liquors make my eyes water and nose hair burn. But just like I love to cook, I LOVE to concoct new drinks. They are defnite creepers - they taste so good you chug (or should I say binge drink) 4 or 5 of 'em and they're like liquid ambrosia going down. Then you try to move. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
Here are some of my trademark original drinks. Try them & thank me later:
1. MY SIGNATURE DRINK: "The Pretty Bitch" - vodka, soda, & a shot of Alize (preferably Red Passion or Rose.) We all know of the "Skinny Bitch" (vodka/soda)...but Id rather be a pretty bitch than skinny bitch.
2. "The Cherry Cupcake" - Absolute vanilla vodka & Dr. Pepper. I've made this drink for some of the most manly scotch drinkin' men Ive ever known...and they all drooled over it. Choose diet Dr. Pepper if youre watching your figure, any ALWAYS go with Absolute if you want a flavoured vodka - they never add sugar, just flavour.
3. "The Ghetto Fabulous" - champagne & Sunny D. Its a mimosa from the hood.
4. "Peaches & Cream" - white wine with a splash or Peach Schnapps. If you listen closely, you can almost hear the sound of my wine enthusiast friends disowning me.
5. "The Great Grapefruit" - Grapefruit perrier with Absolute grapefruit vodka & a sugared rim. I like to serve it with a wedge of fresh graprefruit, just to switch it up......
6. "Jojo's Limoncello Moonshine" - I bring this to me whenever I go to a house party & the guests always suck the bottle dry. Heres the recipie: Get a 1L bottle of soda, pour out about 3/4 of the contents. Gather up 8-12 lemons, and slice 2-3 into wedges and add them to the bottle. Zest the rind of about 1-2 lemons & add to the bottle. Squeeze the juice & pulp from the remaining lemons & add. Get a small bottle/can of your favourite store-bought lemonade (I like Calypso & Minute Maid) and add to bottle. Top up with Absolute lemon Vodka. You can also add a few tablespoons of sugar at this point if you like a sweeter taste. Leave the bottle in the fridge overnight. Proceed to blackout.
7. "The Panty Dropper" - when a man orders scotch on a date. Ok, maybe this isnt exactly one of my concoctions.....but it certainly does makes me wanna drop my knickers to the floor right quick.
