The worst thing about the impending doom we Americans are facing is that it started showing itself right after summer was over. So there’s no laying out by the pool to escape the barrage of news screaming “Crisis!” or “Voter Fraud!” or “Palin!”
This week’s cocktail selection takes us back to the good old days, or basically a month ago, so say your final goodbye to the summer time with some Malibu rum-inspired Bayou Juice (webtender.com)
- Ingredients:
- 2/5 oz Malibu rum
- 2/5 oz Rum (Captain Morgan’s)
- 2/5 oz Amaretto
- 2/5 oz Cranberry juice
- 2/5 oz Pineapple juice
- Mixing Instructions: Pour equal parts of all ingrediants into a shaker filled with ice. Chill, shake and strain.
Friday Evening Cocktail: Bailout Edition October 3, 2008

Since we’re on the theme of being broke, I thought this week’s cocktail could also be a little more economical and, incidentally, more effective.
Nothing says ‘effective cocktail’ like Popov, the mother of all dorm room vodkas and Saturday afternoon walks of shame. As a tribute to the big economic bailout, let’s go back to our college days when we would pretended Popov took pain away instead of provided more just because it had a $5.99 price tag. But this time, we’ll be more methodical with our recipes and avoid the Hawaiian Punch.
This week’s Recipe: Cranberry Vodka Slush (via drinksmixer.com)
Rest easy, Palin- it's not really Russian.
12 oz frozen lemonade concentrate
6 oz frozen cranberry juice
1 cup sugar
1 bottle Popov® vodka
Mix all ingredients a day ahead and place in freezer. When ready to serve, take out of freezer and scoop and serve with ginger ale, if desired.*
Editor’s note: ‘If desired’ my ass. Have plenty of ginger ale handy.

Anyone who needs free therapy should also enjoy a good Friday evening cocktail. Therefore, I’ve created this section to help you ease into the weekend while impressing your friends with unique concoctions.
This week’s selection is the Caribbean Champagne. It’s a while until summer ends, so you can still serve drinks with any kind of island reference without looking sissier than your Grandma’s tablecloth.
