“Natorade”
In a shaker, combine equal parts vodka, DeKuyper’s Apple, raspberry schnapps and 7-Up. Add a splash of sour mix, shake, pour into a shot glass and shoot it.
The Imbiber says: The Imbiber first had a Natorade a few years ago after attending an advance screening of THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST in Hollywood in which I sat next to Larry King and a comely young blond that I assumed was Larry’s latest wife. Larry didn’t look good. Not sick or anything, just not good. He’s an unattractive man with a disproportionately large head topped with what appears to be hay. There was a tall man with Larry and the blonde, and as we waited for the film to begin, he made repeated attempts to steer the conversation toward same-sex marriage. Larry was having none of that, however, and instead loudly remarked that God made marijuana. Since we were about to see THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, most everyone in the screening room felt the need to discuss God, but Larry King was the only one talking about His role in the creation of loco weed. The Imbiber thought Larry was the absolute Bomb by that point but I was in the minority. People shot angry looks. Many were clearly put off by the suggestion that God created pot – true as it may be – but no one actually said anything to Larry King because, well, he’s Larry-freakin’-King. The tall dude remarked that the mayor of San Francisco is a hero, but Larry cut him off and told the blond she’s a bad driver.
“Well then you drive next time, Larry,” she snapped.
“Hah!” he cackled loudly, then suddenly lost consciousness and slumped forward, his giant head flattening a tub of popcorn. At least, I THINK it all happened like that. In this line of work, the mind sometimes plays tricks.
