It's Friday, people. That means it's time to get our swerve on. There's nothing that helps the afternoon "bitching hour" pass faster than a highball glass filled with a four fingers of vodka, a splash of OJ (for vitamin C), and an ice cube or two. Or maybe that's just me. And not just on Friday.
Welcome to Strollerderby's newest weekly series Hitting the Bottle. Every Friday we invite you to let the kids watch something wildly innapropriate on TV while you kick it on your front stoop with some Jesus Juice.
This week we're serving up:
The Choking Hazard
- 3 ounces quality vodka
- Dash dry vermouth (optional)
- Splash olive juice (optional)
- 3 blue cheese-almond stuffed olives skewered with the sharpest toothpick you can find (optional)
In
a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, vermouth, and olive brine. Fill
the shaker with ice and shake for 1 minute 10 seconds. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with the olive-almond skewer. Serve
immediately.
For the olives: stuff large green olives with blue cheese and almonds (whole or slivers).
