Polar Bear

February 13, 2010 (Day 14) — Polar Bear

Polar bears are disappearing faster than Britney Spears’ underwear at a paparazzi convention (this cultural reference brought to by 2004).

Topical!

But just because they’re a rare and endangered animal doesn’t mean you can’t drink one!

Jesus, no wonder these guys aren’t surviving. They’re hammered all the time!

That’s right ladies and germs (a little topical ointment humor there), tonight’s concoction is a shot called the Polar Bear. Dang easy, here it is:

• 1 part white creme de cacao
• 1 part peppermint schnapps

The clarity of the schnapps mixes with the creme de cacao which has a bit of an off-white-ishness to it to create a somewhat tinted shot. The nose (if shots can be said to have such things) is rather pungent. But, much to my surprise, the creme de cacao did a killer job lessening the blow of the peppermint schnapps. The two combine are almost overpoweringly sweet, so if you’re not a fan of sweet shots, then I would certainly encourage you to avoid this one. It’s been like drinking a liquid booze-filled peppermint patty.

So, I forgot to shoot a photo… Use your imagination!

Definitely good for warming up on a cold winters night.
