The Drunken Milkmaid

Day 70

The Drunken Milkmaid

4.5 shots out of 5

First off, I would like to say Happy 70th Day of Cocktails!  Thank You to all of those who have been with me from Day 1 and also to those of you who have found me along the way!  I am having a really fun time making and trying all of these cocktails, as I hope you are having fun reading about them and maybe even trying some of them along with me.  I must say that so far the cocktail recipes that I have received from all of you have been really good ones!  I haven't had a bad recipe from a reader yet!  I love trying the cocktails you all love to drink at home.

I gave tonight's cocktail 4.5 shots out of 5.  I received this recipe from Kera, Thank You Kera!!  The Drunken Milkmaid is a good cocktail that is perfectly mixed (in my opinion of course) by all of its ingredients.  If you notice, the glass has been "designed" a bit different tonight from when I designed the glass for Brown Lady.  Reason being........my husband wanted to design tonight's glass.......but.........I think he used a "bit" too much chocolate?  Anyways, it tastes very yummy with the amount he used and I know it would taste yummy with even less chocolate syrup.  I must say....as I am typing this blog and looking at the chocolate that has now collected more toward the bottom of my glass....I just realized that I was supposed to put whipped cream on top of it!  I even have it out on the counter.  I'm sorry Kera, I wish I would have remembered about it.....instead of being too excited to drink it.

Here is the recipe for The Drunken Milkmaid:

• 1/2 shot kahlua
• 1/2 shot creme de cacao
• 1/2 shot butterscotch schnapps
• 1/2 shot amaretto
• 1/2 shot milk
• chocolate syrup
• whipped cream (which I totally forgot)

In a shaker add ice, kahlua, creme de cacao, butterscotch schnapps, amaretto and milk.  Shake it up really well so that all of the ingredients get blended well.  Strain it into a martini glass that has been "designed" with chocolate syrup.  Top with whipped cream (still mad that I forgot that) and enjoy!

A big Thank You to Kera for this lovely cocktail!  I have to say that I was always skeptical about chocolate syrup in your cocktail until I tried the Brown Lady and The Drunken Milkmaid.  Not anymore though!  It's a wonderful touch, I must say!

Cheers!!

Day 65

Brown Lady

5 shots out of 5

It's a hot day here!  The thermometer said 75 degrees when we were walking the kids home from school today, which is a very pleasant change from the rain and cold weather we've been having! Oh speaking of weather......if you remember when I was telling you about our lightning and how I needed to blog the PB&J Martini before our power possibly went out?  Well not even 15 minutes after I had blogged it, lightning struck right outside the house and our power went out!  Phewph, glad I had made it!

Tonight's cocktail I gave 5 shots out of 5.  I got this recipe from one of my readers, Jessica.  Thank You Jessica for your recipe for Brown Lady!  I am really enjoying this blended cocktail, especially with it being so hot out here.  As you can see from my photo, I can not  decorate a cocktail glass and make it look fancy if my life had depended on it!  I even used one of those cake frosting tips to make the opening smaller........yea I totally failed.  This is definitely a nice refreshing blended cocktail.  I can really taste the kahlua the most, which is nice.  

Here is the recipe for Brown Lady:

• 1 shot rum
• 1 shot kahlua
• 1 shot cream of coconut
• 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
• 1/2 cup ice
• chocolate syrup

In a blender add all of your ingredients.  Blend it up really good so that your ice disappears.  Try   to garnish your glass with chocolate syrup, put some on the bottom, try to twirl some up the side, however you do it is fine.  Then pour your cocktail into your decorated glass and enjoy!

Jessica, here's to you and your Brown Lady cocktail.  It was exactly what I needed on a hot Friday of a long week!  Thank You again!  

Cheers!!
