Notes
Now, I know there is a cocktail called a Parisian Blonde, soooo…I don’t know if this is the same cocktail and it was a typo, or if this is a variation. Either way, I didn’t have the exact ingredients so not only is the name a little off, but the cocktail is too.
But never fear, it only made it very blue. Also, I used Malibu for the rum, which I consider a good thing.
“I feel like I should be wearing a cloak while I drink this.”
“Ha! It does kind of look like that blue Tatooine milk!”
What you can’t see happening right now is TJ yelling, “Yum! Yum!”
“You are right, buddy. This is yummy.”
The Verdict: Yummy
So, the name is wrong and the ingredients are wrong, but who cares? It was delicious. It was sweet, but not too sweet, creamy, and had a good fruity flavor. Tom drank this one completely before I could get more than a sip. Later, after shopping, we made it the correct way and it was still really good. But Tom said he preferred the Malibu version in the end.
Is the lamb pictured on Tom’s t-shirt smoking a cigarette??
Yup! It’s the Vices Lambcake! In the 1950’s and 1960’s it was common for lamb cakes to be smoking a candy cigarette, to represent the return to vices after Lent. 🙂
He deserves it after the bbq Spam!
Looks like a glass of Calhoun!
Calgon! Autocorrect🙄
Seems to be the same as a Parisian Blonde, only slight differences between this and the Blonde recipe I’m familiar with is a very minor (my Blonde recipe calls for Triple Sec and specified sweet cream instead of curacao and cream), it’s so minor a variation it’s probably a typo. Pretty drink though, think I’ll use curacao when I make it in the future!
