Did you know that Milli Vanilli was stripped of its Grammy almost 20 years ago today? If you’re finicky about details, it was actually 19 years and 1 day ago. I don’t see why it was a big deal. Does any pop star actually sound like the album with all its digital remastering and sychronizer magic? I mean, really, remember Smelly Cat?
Not that this little bit of cocktail party chatter has anything to do with this post. But next time you’re at a cocktail party, tweet up, PTA meeting, or Trader Joe’s check out line, start humming the chorus of Girl You Know It’s True and see what sort of reactions you get. The foot tapping will start things off, with the head bobbing shoulder popping to come. The famous white man’s overbite will soon follow. If everyone is a wet rag, blame it on the rain. Meh.
Cabin Fever
3 ounces Rain Organic Vodka
splash orange liqueur (like Grand Marnier)
Freshly squeezed lemon juice
sugar cube and mint leaf
Add all liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake it like K.C. and the Sunshine Band. Shake. Shake. Shake. Put sugar cube and mint leaf in a martini glass. Strain and pour cocktail shaker contents into glass.
Sure fire way to add sunshine to your day. Cheers to a breaking fever!
Holy blast from the past! And now I've got an earworm…
have you ever tried ciroc by p diddy? it is made from grapes and i would love to try it.
I don't know what Milli Vanilli has to do with that drink, but I still hear pop-culture references to them all the time. Mostly as the punch line to some joke. Ha
Happy Friday!
