When I was in my 20s, and you were at a wedding reception (and we're going to one this weekend…) and wanted to get a mixed drink, it was a screwdriver. It was easy and tasty, but it hardly conveyed any sense of sophistication. It's the default for a lot of folks that feel "on the spot" when having to come up with a mixed drink.
Well, I say…put down your screwdrivers!
Tonight’s Happy Hour drink is: Agent Orange
2 oz vodka
1 oz Grand Marnier
½ oz Patron citronage (or cointreau)
½ oz orange juice
Mix the ingredients together with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a cocktail glass. Smooth citrus flavor, with a remarkably small amount of actual orange juice (that's a veiled word of warning).
Happy Friday!!

Okay, all these drinks you make look so good that I am tempted to have my hubby & I fly in for happy hour at your place. Question is… can you make a mean Shirley Temple for the kids?
Sounds good! But I'm just sticking to my friend Captain and Diet tonight.
I'm out of Grand Marnier and Cointreau- off to the store! :)
And it's great for a cold!
Looks delicious.
Must try soon.
Tam — when you guys come to SD, we'll gladly make whatever you want! :D
Steve: I just tried it- it's fantastic!
Zak — glad you liked it! We aim to please around here… :)
OK, that's the first thing on my agenda for this weekend. Can hardly wait, actually! I need some alcohol in my system pretty badly!
