The 30 Minute Cocktail Hour Podcast & Blog

There was a recently news article, well more like a PR article, from Meagan of “Meagan wants a Millionaire.”   This is the infamous canceled reality show that featured  murderer, Ryan Jenkins.   Apparently Meagan has been struggling with the news of Jasmine Fiore’s murder.  That was the angle for the press release to get her name back out there, seeing that Ryan is dead now and so is the news story.

I understand the need to push your fame forward and all of that.   But, Read more

To celebrate the Lakers victory like the jackasses downtown, we knew we had to think like an idiot.  What do they drink?

Ah Ha!  Something cheap that will get you f-ed up in a hurry.   The answer, Cisco, fortified wine type drink.   This is the “cocktail” of winos.  And after trying it, I see why.  I went with the blue raspberry which was blue but not really raspberry.  After about two pulls (that’s wino speak)  I was feeling pretty good.  The taste was that of bad, really bad, cough syrup.   After the third pull, I was ready to throw on my over sized white tee, saggy jeans, and tilted Lakers cap (sticker still attached to the stiff brim) and turn over some cars.  Or just hang out on the street corner.

To hear my reaction, listen to the podcast here.

In the first installment of  “Scott drinks good liquor and Randy drinks cheap booze,” I tried Yukon Jack from our friends up north in Canada.  The five dollar a pint price tag is the only good thing about this “whiskey.”    My first clue that this was going to be a good choice was the fact that it came in a plastic bottle.  One does not want to have a broken bottle mishap when trying to get their drink on.

I went for the straight up sip at first.  I instantly noticed the subtle flavors of horse urine(don’t ask) and rubbing alcohol.  Then, as per the recipe on back of the bottle, I mixed it with orange juice.  This is how the distiller warns the consumer that this is going to taste like shit.  Orange juice seems to be the go to mix for most of your lower end liquors.

I do have to say that it does do the job.  Meaning, it will fuck you up.  It should, it’s 100 proof.   I didn’t realize this until my second glass.  If you have a large bottle of Advil handy for the two day headache and need to jump start the party before you head out to the bars for over-priced, watered down drinks, I highly recommend it.
