Why this?

I’m waiting for Luke to get home, and I have 3 egg whites left over from making Julia Child’s Garlic Soup. I literally just opened the book until I found something with an egg white that I had all the other ingredients for. And this chick looks like she’s having f.u.n. FUN.

I’m guessing this book is in the public domain at this point. This is my parent’s old copy, and is how I learned about coctails. I marked it all up when I was a teenager. Looks like you can get it on ebay, though don’t get it just to make this recipe.

Yeah, it was bad. Like, almost terrible. The color was… just a little pink, but not pink enough to be pink, and like, whitish pink. It reminded my of a scene from Dead Alive that I’d prefer to stop thinking about. And it tasted like basically nothing. You could smell a little whiskey coming off of it, but there wasn’t enough sweet or flavor from the grenadine or the triple sec to do anything but deaden the taste of the whisky, so I couldn’t even really taste that anymore. So yeah, that’s a skip for me. Maybe it was because I burned my tongue on the garlic soup a little, but honestly, I couldn’t taste anything. Also a Donald Trump courtroom sketch managed to creep into my photos from the news in the background. Millionaire Cocktail indeed. Skip this one.
