Episode 42 - Why Care What Other People Think?
The one where Rexy points out Jill is an awesome cocktologist.
Sexy Rexy joins us again this week to talk about not giving people rent-free space in your head. Although admittedly, Gina ends up being more of a object lesson than an example. And what’s a cocktologist? Gotta listen to find out (it’s not dirty - okay, it involves cocktails, because of course it does).
Lemon Drop Martini
Honestly, some people think of this as a ‘girly’ drink but this will get you seriously hammered. You have to make sure you balance the sour with the sweet. I like to add a bit of limoncello to it also. You also have to use fresh lemon. That bottle crap won’t cut it here because it’s all about the flavor. And, then you can use the zest from the lemon to add to your sugar for the rim and have lemon sugar on the rim which makes it that much better. Normal sugar is fine, but why would you even do that if you could have LEMON SUGAR OMG. Whatever. Don’t be lazy. It’s worth the effort, Gina.
Ingredients-
1 1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz limoncello
3/4 oz Cointreau
1 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 large lemon)
3/4 oz simple syrup
Lemon sugar, for glass rim
Lemon slice for garnish
Instructions-
First, chill your martini glass by filling it with ice and water. Let it sit while you mix. To your shaker, add all your ingredients except the lemon sugar. Add ice and shake until extremely well chilled. Dump out the water and ice from your glass. Use your lemon slice to moisten the rim of your glass, then dip it in the sugar (put the sugar on a plate to make it simple to do this). Strain the drink into your chilled and sugared glass. Enjoy.
