Glennis' Sneak-a-lyzer

I feel a little guilty and sneaky – I had a paralyzer without Patty. We stained our deck the other night, and I figured I earned one. Our booze supply has also grown, and I’m trying to empty out some old bottles so we can fit all the new ones in the cupboard.

I dug to the back of the cupboard, looking for those few bottles that have just an ounce or two left in them. I came across a near-empty bottle of raspberry schnapps. Perfect. With the onslaught of flavoured vodkas between Patty and I, I have also been neglecting my regular vodka. So I dug for that, too.

1 oz raspberry schnapps

1 oz vodka

Milk

Coke

4 star rating

I know I’m trying to empty a few bottles so everything will fit in the booze cupboard again…but this one makes me want to go out and buy another bottle of raspberry schnapps. J

Well Glennis, if this is confession time (it's Patty on here now)...then I have to admit I have had paralyzers without you too - so take that!!   But you know what?  Usually if I have one without you, it's regular plain ol' vodka and regular plain ol' Kahlua.  Test tasting and experimenting really should be done with an assistant - just to keep it safe.   (I'm sure she must have tried to call me, but I wasn't home!!)

Now that Glennis has given this a 4 star rating I think I better try it...should have tried it before we went public with this recipe just to make sure that it was good enough for the rest of you to drink.   But I trust Glennis, we've trained together for a while now so I have full confidence that she knows a good paralyzer when she tastes one.    

So go on, you have my permission - run to the store, get some Raspberry Schnapps, make a paralyzer and be sneaky about it!

Rum & Butter Chocolate Bar

This is our dedication to Randy.   Our tastiest rumalyzer yet...take that Jacqui!!  

After numerous attempts, we have a winner and agree that you are going to like this one.  

 Remember those tasty Rum and Butter chocolate bars from when we were kids? Well, we don't think they make them any more, so we thought we would bring a little taste of history back to you with this combination.   

Have a few of these drinks, and you will be telling the finest pirate jokes in the neighborhood.    If nothing is coming to you right away, try this one out on the person closest to you...

Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the sea, this captain and his crew were always in danger of being boarded by pirates from a pirate ship.

One day while they were sailing, they saw that a pirate ship had sent a boarding party to try and board their ship. The crew  became worried, but the Captain was calm.

He bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!"

The First Mate quickly got the Captain's red shirt, which the captain put on. Then he led his crew into battle against the mean pirates. Although there were some casualties among the crew, the pirates were defeated.

Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending two boarding parties towards their ship. The crew was nervous, but the Captain,  calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!" And once again the battle was on! 

The Captain and his crew fought off the boarding parties, though this time more casualties occurred.

Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's events when an  ensign looked at the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?"

The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, explained, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the blood, so you men will continue to fight unafraid." The men sat in silence. They were amazed at the courage of such a man.

As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to the Captain, their leader, for his usual command.

The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, 'Bring me my brown pants!!!' 

Really, you won't tell pirate jokes...but that's how Randy rolls.   And Randy, this one's for you. 

Enjoy.

We might just have to give this one to Jacqui

It really is true, she did create a very tasty Rumalyzer.  In fact, it may just have been the best tasting Rumalyzer that night.  Oh, but don't worry Jacqui, we will create one that is far more delicious, I mean we have to - it's what we do.   For now - the best tasting Rumalyzer award goes to Ms. ass-slapping Jacqui with this amazing combination.   

Free pour in some Kamora

Free pour in some Cruzan Black Strap Rum

add some milk

top it up with some Cola

fyi, the Kamora, Cruzan and milk were all of equal parts

The French Kiss

To celebrate Randy on his birthday, we wanted to create a drink inspired by him.   The decision was to make it "french", hence the Creme de liquors (and Glennis' childhood love for chocolate chip ice cream).

This drink was not bad; however, Randy's second love is rum so we are still researching the perfect rum paralyzer.  Stay tuned for a Rumalyzer to come your way one sunny afternoon.  

 

1.5 oz Creme de Cacao

1/2 oz Creme de Menthe

fill your glass 3/4 full with milk

Mangolicious

Mango Vodka!  Now that is a new one to us.   We thought that paring Mango with another fruit like an orange, might taste pretty good.  So here it is, Triple Sec and Mango Vodka together in a paralyzer.   

Let your taste buds savor the flavor.

1/2 oz Triple Sec

1/2 oz Mango Vodka

1 oz Kahulua

Fill your glass three quarters full with milk and top it up with some cola

We gave this one a 4 star rating

To Kim Mitchell with love

Tonight, we were a Wild Party (Rah Rah Ole) at the Kim Mitchell concert. We are a lot of feathers, but not much chicken when we sit under the Patio Lanterns and sing. Kim said "Be Brave, Alana loves me", so we jumped up and said "You're the lemon, I'm the Tequila - let's go dancing cuz I wanna feel ya". This was too much for us so we had to Go for a Soda...2 boozes and some milk.  The music transported us back to Rockland Wonderland, it was so much fun that we just had to Go for another Soda...2 boozes and some milk.

Try this mixture and raise your glass to Kim!  

We are still working on the perfect name for this drink.

1/2 oz tequila

1/2 oz triple sec

The Tequila has an important presence, yet it does not overpower the beverage, it was easy to tame. 

Are you Spring Cleaning?

Glennis is currently away; however, I have been told that the key to a successful blog is consistency.   So the show must go on, and today I will blog without my Editor G to review my post.  My son, will be my interim assistant and is helping with color effects and fun. 


If you read this, post a comment and let's have some fun and test Glennis - let's see how many of you will read this post before she does.  

First off, I have to tell you that I am so excited that you are reading our Blog.   Last week I received my first phone call from one of our Blog Observers asking for clarification on one of our recipes.   She loved the Vanilla Bear and the Deckalyzer paralyzers and is waiting for more awesome recipes.   If you loved them too, please post your comments and share our Blog with your friends.  

Unable to do any new research this week (because it's just not something that Glennis or I do without the other one), I have decided to share with you a recipe from my notebook.   We were not going to share this recipe with you until we could recreate it and take a photo; however, I am thinking that it is the perfect drink for this beautiful weather.    You're going to want to get out in the yard and pull some weeds, and if it rains, you will likely take that need to clean into your kitchen.  The Fruit and Nut paralyzer came about one night when we decided to clean out the booze cupboard.   You know how you get all those bottles with little bits of booze and you just don't know what to do with them....well try this one.   We were going to call it Spring Cleaning, but once you taste it, you'll know why we did not.  

Fruit and Nut          4 stars

1/2 oz Triple Sec
1 oz Apricot Brandy
1 oz Caramel Baileys
Milk (fill your class 3/4 full)
top your glass up with Coke

Yum!  This combination has a prominent nutty flavor with a hint of caramel.   It's like something you would pick out of a box of chocolates.   We amazed ourselves with this one, it is delicious.

On second thought...we decided to add a photo.  Drawn by Nash - showing just how happy we were when we drank these.  

Have a great weekend everyone!  Celebrate all those little things that make you smile, you deserve it.
