As you know, if you've followed me for any length of time, I love cocktails. I'm a girl who likes to drink.
That said, I'm a girl who also wants to have a functioning liver when I eventually retire (is that even a possibility for a writer?!) so I've cut back a bit over the past couple of years, barring the occasional slip.THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH HAVING FRIENDS.
Anyway, I have a particular fondness for complicated cocktails, and I've got a pretty sweet bar set up (right down to a box of tiny paper umbrellas) to indulge my fancy to fool around with bitters and aromatics and such like. But sometimes you just want something sweet and simple.
The solution is a nice soda, like Henry Weinhard's Black Cherry Cream, Hard Rootbeer or Cream Soda and a shot of Captain Morgan's Madagascar Vanilla Spiced Rum. OR if you're not a pirate or a rum drinker, try a shot of your favorite vanilla/cupcake/cream flavored vodka.
It's super simple and fast acting for those SOMEONE GET ME A COCKTAIL STAT moments. And if you put it in a nice glass with crushed ice, toss in some edible glitter, you'll look like you know what you're doing even if you've never mixed a drink in your life. (I'd avoid adding sugar rims, whip, fruit, etc. however, as this drink is already very sweet.)
