I know I can't be the first one to come up with this, but hot damn, I think I just created heaven. Dangerous, dangerous heaven.
1 part blood orange syrup*
1 part vermouth
2 parts gin
I wanna call it a bloody vampire based on the gin/vermouth Vampire that I've fallen in love with. XD I might experiment with ratios, cause it's a little sweet for me, but damn. First sip and it was like drinking juice. Then it bit me.
That's why I like Vampires. :3
Today's food experiment isn't one from a recipe, but I'm trying the veggie "ribs" for the first time. I have hopes that like fake!chicken, they'll taste like those McRib sandwiches that I adored as a kid. So bad for you, but so good. And probably "mechanically separated pig" or something. XD
So veggie McRib with blue cheese crumbles, onions, and mayo. I might try some sort of slaw with the cabbage I have left, or I'll drink enough bloody vampires and just sit on the couch, longing for designer cupcakes.
EDIT: Meh. Maybe it'd be better with an actual french roll, but it was just...meh. The fries were good. The drink was even better. (My god vermouth attacks my tongue. And I'd amend the ratio up above to 1/2 part syrup.)
* I'm making our own Italian sodas with Torani syrups now. No HFCS, just cane sugar and club soda. Om nom. This month's flavors are Blood Orange and Cherry Lime.
