PinGin- A Quick, Sweet, Delightful Cocktail

It’s 2AM on the East Coast, we’ve just finished our first Dean Koontz book (The Good Guy).

And we can’t sleep.

So we do what we do best under the circumstances – Pour ourselves a drink.

Tired of our usual Gin and Soda and also having run out of Soda, we decided to make ourselves a cocktail.

Earlier this evening, we had purchased a big pack of Dole Piña colada 100% juice.

Come on, who doesn’t love a Piña colada cocktail, right?

But instead of Vodka (the standard liquor used in the Piña colada cocktail), we added Burnett’s Gin (the one in the green bottle) to the Piña colada juice.

We took a long glass, added roughly 23% Gin and 77% Piña colada and stirred it with a straw. Since we like things extra-cold, we kept the cocktail – let’s call it PinGin – in the freezer for a few minutes.

With Mo’pleez Nimbu Masala Indian snack on the side, PinGin makes for a delightful cocktail.

Sweet Nirvana. ;)

In these hot May days when the mercury soars and our spirits plummet, tis’ time for some nice spirits to get us into the mood for more writing.

A few minutes back, we tried this variation of the Martini that we’ll call Orberry.

1. Pour freshly squeezed sweet Orange juice into a tall glass till it’s half-full

2. Add 4.5oz of Svedka Vodka

3. Fill up the rest of the glass with Seltzer water

4. Add three spoons of Haagen Daz Strawberry Ice Cream to the mixture

5. Keep the glass in freezer for 15 minutes

6. Remove from freezer and sip the ice-cold Orberry slowly with straw

7. Watch Ed Schultz (6PM-7PM ET on MSNBC) make mincemeat of the Republican nut-cases

8. Sip some more Orberry

9. Experience Nirvana. You’ll get a mild, pleasant high but no so high that you can’t blog ;)

White Russian – If there’s a Heaven, this is It

(For SI blog readers Mallukuttan, Shadowfax_Arbit, Gandhiji et al)

Ever since we watched Oscar winner Jeff Bridges’ old comedy The Big Lebowski, we’ve been dying to try out the White Russian.

If you remember the movie, that’s The Dude’s favorite drink.

As a matter of fact, White Russian’s popularity in recent years owes to The Big Lebowski.

There are differing opinions on the origins of the White Russian.

On Wiki, there’s some talk that White Russian’s origins may date back to the end of World War I while others see references to it in the mid-1950s.

Like all things old, the White Russian’s origins too remain shrouded in the mists of history.

This evening, our White Russian urge got so high that we perforce had to capitulate before Bacchus.


White Russian – The Dude was Right

We already had Skyy Vodka in our liquor cabinet.

So all we needed was Coffee Liqueur and some cream.

Off we dashed to our Gujju liquor store and headed for the liqueur aisle. There was Kahlua, Starbucks and a bunch of other coffee liqueurs on the shelves including the Mexican import Kamora.

We picked Kamora because it had 20% alcohol while Kahlua had only 17% alcohol content. Plus, at $10.99 Kamora was $7 cheaper.

And you do know the only thing desis in the U.S. love more than a blonde p*ssy is a cheaper price-tag, right? ;) Continue reading »
