Two new drink recipes

[kitchen_kink]

Au Courant

3 parts vodka
1/2 part Rose's lime
1 part Triple Sec
5-6 parts blackcurrant juice, to taste

Put all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and serve up in a martini glass.


Atalanta

3 parts Jack Daniels
1 part Goldschlager
4 parts apple cider

Same as above directions.


Both recipes may, of course, be adjusted for taste and alcohol content, though the Rose's lime amount in the first is the most that is advised if you wish to taste the blackcurrant.


(Bonus for person who can tell me why the second drink is called an "Atalanta.")

(You'll need a hell of a chaser immediately after?)

That's awesome!

But wrong.

:) Though clearly you know the myth, so probably in some subtextual way, you're right.

Tangentally: I will be dinnerizing at Casa Spot on the evening of the 26th. You and the Ruskie are warmly invited to join.

(At least, I think you are. If you got into a fight with Spot, Amanda, or Joe P, let me know. :)

I think we're all cool, unless I was so wasted at the wedding I don't remember my exceedingly bad behavior.

Well, you did dance me about so fast I nearly had a heartattack...but that was my fault for asking you to salsa to "Late in the Evening..."

We'll see if we can make it; thanks! We'll be traveling from New Jersey back to MA that day, so it's a long shot, but thanks for the invite!

I suppose it would best to use golden apples...

Good catch, as it were! But it's because there's apple cider and Goldschlager. I thought of calling it a Golden Apple, but then I couldn't resist the mythological reference.

Shiny golden apples to distract you from the foot race. STUPID SHINY THINGS.

Indeed.

I have no idea why the drink is named that. At first I read it as "Atlanta" and had even less of an idea.

Maybe it is called that because it is what you use to win the girl. (Get her so fucked up she comes home with you). Admittedly, that's a horrible thought.

Good lord!

Heh. No, it's just because of the Goldschlager and the apple cider: golden apple.

Although madbard's response (http://dietrich.livejournal.com/254129.html?thread=1564337#t1564337) was classic...

I had missed the part where you invented them. I was thinking much more basely. :)
