Hey Everybody!
It’s Leanne and Tracey, the Whisky Chicks! We’re thrilled to launch our newly revamped website, www.whiskychicks.com. You’ll find tons of wild bar stories, recipes, advice, our blog, and photos of the two of us out and about.
The Perfect Manhattan just came out in paperback and is flying off the shelves! Head to amazon.com or your local bookstore and pick up your copy today. We recently sold the television rights to the book and will be working with our fabulous production company, Rigberg Entertainment, to develop content and show ideas. Stay tuned to our radio spots on your local Radio America stations for a contest where YOU can help us think of great show ideas too!
A final fun note: we contributed to an anthology called It’s A Wonderful Lie: The Truth About Life In Your Twenties. It comes out in January (though it can be pre-ordered now on amazon.com), and we’ll keep you posted about tour dates, etc.
WHISKY CHICKS DRINK OF THE MONTH: Summer is in full swing, so why not try our new favorite cocktail, “Just Peachy”?Ingredients:
1 oz Maker’s Mark
3/4 oz Peach Schnapps
4 oz freshly squeezed orange juice
1 orange slice
Fill Maker’s Mark cocktail shaker 3/4 full of ice; add 1 oz Maker’s Mark, 3/4 oz Peach Schnapps, and 4 oz orange juice. Shake for 30 seconds. Strain into stemmed glass (small goblet or brandy snifter). Garnish with orange slice.
WHISKY FACT: You might have heard the old wives’ tale about rubbing a tiny bit of whisky on a teething baby’s gums (your grandparents or parents probably might have even done this to you at some point!), but in reality, "Cough medicine" is actually commonly used as a euphemism for whisky and other strong alcoholic beverages that are believed to have medicinal qualities. Even actual cough medicines such as NyQuil often have a high alcohol content. Unfortunately, alcohol never cured anyone of cholera, but in large doses it would numb pain and help people sleep.
CRAZY BAR ANCEDOTE OF THE MONTH:
“Bartending where everyone is totally naked is distracting at first, but then you kind of get used to it.” –our friend and fellow bartender Kevin. Many bartenders travel to different resorts to work during “high” seasons (think Miami in February or Aspen during the holidays). Kevin spends his winters bartending at an upscale NUDIST resort in the Virgin Islands. He is required to wear clothes because of health department rules, but everybody else is stark naked. He told us one story about a karaoke and dance party with the vacationers. “One hot girl got up and sang her heart out to Michael Jackson, wearing nothing but a big, floppy sun hat,” he told us. We bet that wasn’t the only thing flopping in that room!!
BLOG: To satisfy more of your blog fix, head to theperfectmanhattan.com for the blog archive.
