First, I’d like to
welcome the newest members to Craig’s Friday Cocktail List™. Hi.
Next, we need to cover
some language issues with today’s drink.
“La Bomba” is a tequila
cocktail.
“La Bamba” was a 1958
#1 single by Richie Valens (you saw the movie).
“L.A. Bambi” is Adiz “Bambi” Benton of the VH-1 reality series Basketball Wives
L.A.
“Что
бомба” is Russian for “that
bomb”, which is what many thought the meteor hit was.
I’ve had this
drink. Recently. It’s a good.
1.5 oz Tequila
.75 oz Cointreau (as always, if you’re cheap like
me, use Triple Sec)
1.5 oz Pineapple Juice
1.5 oz Orange
Juice
Maraschino
Cherry
Put 4-5 ice cubes in
a martini shaker
Add the liquids
Shake vigorously
Strain into cocktail
(martini) glass
Garnish a
cherry
I’d like to give a
Public Service Announcement about our good friend
“Tequila”:
1.
Don’t buy cheap
tequila. Ever.
Somewhere there is a
college student that needs an inexpensive drunk night (and possible walk of
shame the next morning) and you are stealing his/her
bottle.
2.
Don’t use super-premium
tequila to make cocktails.
It’s a waste of good
sipping tequila and it doesn’t make much of a difference.
3.
Before you start making
any tequila cocktails, make sure you have enough.
Changing the quality,
type, even brand of tequila during the course of an evening will have a bad
effect on you later.
Bad.
How
bad?

current career bad…
Remember
me???
