Not Worthy of the Name

In our excitement to get to the Cuba Libre, we skipped the Colorado Bulldog, a drink that has as much in common with Colorado or bulldogs as cloud-watching has with heavyweight boxing.

The ingredients are interesting — vodka, Kahlua and Coke, with some recipes also calling for milk or cream. You put equal parts vodka and Kahlua over ice, add the milk and top it off with a splash of Coke. If you decide to make this, go easy on the Kahlua (maybe just half a shot), because the one I made had too much. I might try another one just to see if I can get it right, but that's the only reason why.

Manly or Girly? Girly.
Appearance: Coffee with cream
Taste: Slightly sweet, with a bite from the Coke
Consistency: Creamy, kind of syrupy
Stomach acceptance: Felt kinda heavy down there
Good drink for: I got nothing
Hangover factor: Low. I can't imagine drinking enough of these to get a hangover.
Would I actually order this in public? Nope.

Actually, we skipped the Colorado Bulldog and added the Cosmopolitan ... I think ...

We're going to end up with 31 cocktails this month, aren't we?

What do boxing and cloud-watching have in common? If a fighter is laid out during an outdoor fight, he might very well be cloud-watching.

Actually, I think said fighter would be star-gazing.
