ORIGINAL — Love Potion No. 9

November 23, 2011 (Day 239) — Love Potion No. 9

Let’s say you’re not too weighed down with Thanksgiving vittles. Your family has finally left the house (or passed out from tryptophan overdose). It’s just you and your lady. Or your guy. You want to get the mood right. Turn the lights down a bit. Get funky.

Happy Thanksgiving, grandma!

Love Potion No. 9

• 2 oz Burnett’s Pineapple Vodka
• 1.5 oz Cruzan Strawberry Rum
• Champagne

Combine the vodka and rum in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Preferably while shirtless and oiled up.

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and top with the champagne.

Sweet and sparkling. Easy to get funky while your Aunt Merta naps in the next room on the couch.

Cheers!
