THIS EPISODE’S DRINK: Wet Bandit
It’s still cold as hell up here in Chicago, so we’ve got a nice, warm, creamy cocktail to get you through the chilliest of climes. Fig vodka, framboise (to evoke the Parisian vacation), and a homemade vanilla whipped cream to echo Kevin’s shaving cream. Enjoy!
2 parts fig-infused vodka
1 part framboise
3 parts steamed almond milk
dash, black walnut bitters
2 tbsp vanilla whipped cream
chopped walnuts
- To make the whipped cream, combine 1/2 pint of heavy whipping cream, 2.5 tbsp of white sugar and a capful of vanilla extract and whip with a whisk or hand mixer until it forms stiff peaks.
- Steam milk in a saucepan, and combine that with vodka, framboise and bitters. Top with whipped cream and walnuts. Enjoy!
DRINKING RULES FOR HOME ALONE:
1) Drink every time you see a Christmas ornament or icon centrally featured
2) Drink any time someone utters a PG-friendly insult
3) Drink whenever Marv or Harry get violently physically injured
FINISH YOUR DRINK WHEN:
Kevin glibly remarks, “Just hung around,” when asked what he did while he was Home Alone™.
Join us next week as we ring in the New Year with 2016’s The Edge of Seventeen!
