Friday, finally! The temperature has moderated some this week, but the humidity has remained high. The sultry temperatures have us thinking in terms of Gone with the Wind. We can't help but think, "We are just sweltering in minimal clothing, who in their right mind would wear a freaking corset with layered hoopy under-things beneath some big honkin' dress?" Seriously, that stupid parasol is damn near worthless when the heat index is over a hundy! This week, we're bringing you a cocktail whose name evokes visions of Miss Scarlett and Rhett (he was hot - and we ain't talking meteorologically). Whatever poison you pick to unwind (although we recommend giving this little gem a whirl) - go forth celebrate the end of the work week, we're sure you deserve it as much as we do, if not more. Please note, if you have to work weekends......well, we apologize - we'll be thinking of you, really.
Southern Belle
1 1/2 oz Whiskey (like, say Jack Daniel's)
8 oz pineapple juice
3/4 oz Triple Sec or Cointreau
2 oz Orange Juice (or just a "big splash")
1 wee splash Grenadine
Combine everything but the grenadine in a high ball over ice, stir well. Crown with a wee splash of grenadine and dip the spoon in to barely mix. Garnish with a pineapple wedge or orange slice. Sip daintily - it is a Southern Belle after all, ya'll.......
Behave y'self - get a ride, call a cab or, stick to your own veranda. Don't go all being a fool now, y'hear?
