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!

Drink with your head in a bag.

Have you seen this?

(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.
