God, I am sick of them. I rue the day I ever told myself it was a good idea to bring them into my life. By Friday each week, I'm ready to round them up and leave them in the nearest drop box. I speak, of course, of the Disney Princesses. Shame on you if you thought I meant the kids.
Thank heaven for tequila. After knocking back a little, I feel much better about crass commercialism. After knocking back a little more, I'm pretty enthusiastic about it. The Dirty Princess is a little like a margarita, but for people who spent their Cointreau budget on Cinderella nail decals.
The Dirty Princess
- a pint or two of fresh (hulled) or frozen strawberries
- premium tequila to taste (I like Don Julio and I like to taste lots of it)
- Copious quantities of fresh lime juice
Blend, and enjoy. Frankly, I just sip it right out of the blender pitcher sometimes, but fancy people can feel free to pour it into a pretty glass with a sugared rim.
No girlie girls in your house? Sub kiwi fruit for the strawberries and have yourself a Dirty Ninja Turtle. Your kids a little more sheltered from marketing than some? Sub organic vodka for the tequila, call it a Dirty Waldorf Doll. Leave the fruit out entirely and...well, don't forget to drink a big glass of water and pop a few aspirin before you go to bed.
