Sputnik
As I'm sure everyone had drummed into their heads, yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the launch of the first satellite, the Russian Sputnik I. Yesterday was also Poker Night. Combining these two observances, I felt it was necessary to invent a new alcoholic beverage and call it the Sputnik.
Sputnik
1 oz Stoli vodka (of course there has to be vodka involved somehow)
1 oz Shakka Apple (it's red. Get it? Red? Russia?)
1/2 oz Aftershock cinnamon schnapps (it's also red)
Splash grenadine (guess what color that is)
4 oz Club soda
Ice
Stick three toothpicks
| Yes, I know the Sputnik had four antennae, not three, but this is ART |
Trouble is, it's not a very tasty drink - but that is evocative of the sense of bitterness we felt in America that the damn Commies beat us into space.
Maybe next year I'll try it with pomegranate liqueur instead of Shakka Apple. |
