Eliot Spritzer

spritzer2

Spitzer mania has spread to the bar. Rochester mixologist Chris Carlsson has created the Eliot Spritzer, a layered cocktail with Champagne then absinthe (insert crazy joke) then Campari (for a bitter ending, according to Carlsson). Clever. But what I want is a cocktail designed for Ms. Ashley Alexandra Dupre; I really don’t want to be picturing Eliot Spitzer while I’m sipping on a drink. How about something like vodka (for class), red bull (for trash), and Grand Marnier (for…she’s gonna be rich once that record deal rolls in)?* Or maybe it should be a sparkler as well: Champagne (for sexy), Frangelico (for she’s nuts), and Cognac (for…she’s gonna be loaded once that book deal rolls in)?*

*Have caution when trying these at home. They have not been tested. I’m at a desk. Dreaming about happy hour. But not there yet.

    I like your ideas, Want me to work on that? ;-)
    Also it was based on Hemingway’s Death in the Afternoon, Legend has it he would get drunk on Absinthe and do self destructive thing.
    Also there is the sex component in that Absinthe was considered to be an Aphrodisiac (if you want to sell something that was always a popular myth).

    Hmmm…then maybe hers should be some sort of oyster shooter to keep the aphrodisiac theme going. And then there’s plenty of room for hot/spicy/saucy jokes.
