Nutcracker

Day 239

Nutcracker

4 shots out of 5

The Giants won!!  We're moving on to the National League Championship Series!!  Unfortunately the A's just lost, but what a ride they had!  Both teams had a great season.  Our next series starts on Sunday and it can't come fast enough.

I gave tonight's cocktail 4 shots out of 5.  I think the Baileys and Frangelico compliment each other nicely in this shooter.  I must admit, I did raise an eyebrow when I also saw Midori as an ingredient in tonight's shooter.......but to my surprise, it totally worked.  For me, this is a good shooter to have one of.  I think if I had another one I wouldn't like it as much.  The flavor is good to coat your mouth and leave it's impression, and then you (or I) need to move onto something else to drink to change the flavor in your (my) mouth.  I got tonight's cocktail at Hubpages.

Here is the recipe for a Nutcracker:

• 1/2 oz Irish Cream
• 1/2 oz melon liqueur
• 1/2 oz hazelnut liqueur

In a shaker, add ice and all of the ingredients above.  Shake and strain your cocktail into a shot glass.

Here's to an amazing post season so far.  Each series has gone/is going to Game 5, which is awesome all in itself.

Cheers!!
