Has someone filked "How do you solve a problem like Scalia"?
A food group I'm part of requested a recipe for a drinkable Pride weekend cocktail that could be called "Scalia's Tears."
My suggestion:
Carpano Antica Aperol DOL Gin (if you can get it - if not, St. George Terroir) Lemon Dry shake with egg white (for foaming at the mouth) Dash of Angostura bitters Garnish with a sprig of marjoram or thyme (Italian herbs, tear-shaped leaves) and a very light sprinkle of salt
Alternatively, omit the egg white, and top with Prosecco - both Italian and gay!
(Malort, for the curious, is a singularly vile beverage widely found in Chicago as a local version of the sheep's eyeball; the name is allegedly Swedish, but no Swede has yet been convicted, and so the question of ultimate blame remains unresolved)
Just came across my FB. I have had Malort in the wild and found it not nearly as objectionable as Fernet Branca.
I give them props for including the apple bitters but demerits for the superfluous inclusion of Combier, rather than say an apple brandy. Also they should have garnished with a fortune cookie.

Drink with your head in a bag.
