COCKTAIL PARTY CONVERSATION STARTERS! Friends of the 3 Questions, 3 Drinks podcast, now you, too, can hold your very own 3Q3D-esque cocktail party – simply invite over a few fun friends, mix up several boozy drinks, and use the questions from this episode to create a conversation that will surely get more interesting with every sip. You’ll quickly learn just how shallow your friends really are (see: the Wizard question from the first drink segment), how many of your friends use weird logic if forced to choose between two beds to sleep in (see: the hotel double bed conundrum), and how many like to push the envelope when setting the cruise control (I, too, like to live dangerously).
Drinks in this Episode:
Long Island Iced Tea >> 3/4 oz vodka, 3/4 oz white rum, 3/4 oz silver tequila, 3/4 oz gin, 3/4 oz triple sec, 3/4 oz simple syrup, 3/4 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice. Combine ingredients in a glass filled with ice. Top with Coca-Cola, garnish with a lemon wedge and party like it’s 1999.
Classic Gin Martini >> 2 ½ oz gin, splash of Dry Vermouth. In a mixing glass filled with ice cubes, combine the gin and vermouth, stir for 30 seconds, and then strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a lemon twist and thank the Lord you’re not drinking another Long Island Iced Tea.
Peach Bellini >> 1 ripe peach peeled and diced; 8 fresh raspberries; ½ cup water; 1 bottle chilled Prosecco. Make the peach/raspberry puree first: combine diced and peeled raw peaches with fresh raspberries and water in a blender pitcher; Blend until smooth. Strain puree through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Pour 2 oz peach and raspberry puree into a flute glass and top with a little Prosecco. Stir gently. Top off with more Prosecco, drop a few raspberries into the Bellini, and cheers to your sophistication! (Special note: Foam can be an issue when making these Bellini. Starting with cold ingredients is helpful. If possible, make your fruit puree and chill for hour or more before making cocktails. Opening your Prosecco (but keeping it in the refrigerator) 10 to 15 minutes beforehand also reduces foam.).
