i laughed at my own joke

Martini 13

Butterscotch Ripple

1 oz butterripple schnapps

1 oz amarula cream

1 oz vodka

splash milk

The absolute perfect breakfast cocktail.  (my schedule, again, does not permit me to drink a martini this evening, therefore making it necessary I have one in the morning)  I threw some Quaker maple oat squares as garnish, and they were JUST the best part.

Strong (Should you drive to work after this nutritious breakfast?)  It’s one thing to be pulled over at night and say, “honestly officer, I just had one,” but can you imagine first thing in the morning?  In the middle of rush hour traffic, “honestly officer, I only had one.” Can they arrest you for drinking before noon?

Tastiness (Instead of milk could you have this with your cereal?)  I will take a tip from my Grama, who apparently used to do it all the time, and say, “yes.”

Difficulty (Should I make this before or after my morning cup of coffee?)  It is very simple to make.  As long as you know what a ‘splash’ of milk looks like.  If you put too much in, you won’t taste the booze.  If you don’t put enough, the cop will ask for a breath sample.

Overall (Is it only good for breakfast time?)  My dear, no!  You will see me drinking this in the morning, accompanying my lunch, as an afternoon snack and with dinner.  I could have friends over and drink it, I could drink it with my family!  I could drink it while watching a movie, watching the game, or watching Breaking Bad.  I could babysit and drink it, vacuum and drink it, and even pack for a vacation and drink it.  Really, the possibilities are endless.
