Wash The Sheets...

I got a homie in the Georgetown errea named Matt Golden. Cool-ass brother, he's one of those people that legitimately love sports. Not just football and baseball, but all sports. I think I heard him make a mention of the female NCAA Final Four which designates him as a feminist in my book, but hey, that's merely my book. Anyhow, his story is quite the interesting one. He tells me that he comes from smack-dab in the middle of Hartford and New Haven, Connecticut, raised in the Latino area. Man was an All-American Soccer player until he broke both ankles in his senior year of high school, but thankfully he's a smart kid taught to rely on intellect and not athletic prowess, so he got into Georgetown University based from his grades. In college, he decided to try for kicker of the football team since he was still able to kick a ball, but not exactly play soccer full-fledged. Ended up being Georgetown's kicker for two years. The boy is one of those stand-up proletariats like me that work hard and use money as a tool for empowerment. The reason I got Mr. Golden on here is to initiate my series of drinks that folks concoct. A drink is a powerful thing. Most people subscribe to about 2 or 3 drinks, and usually stay comfortably within that choice selection. Only the really daring try it all, and only the royalty of those considered daring have the chutzpah needed to concoct their own elixir. Matt has done so. And what on earth would a fellow with the last name "Golden" name his drink? Ha...




Golden Shower

2 parts Bombay Sapphire gin
1 part Peach Schnapps
1 part Pineapple Juice

Mix together in a shaker and serve as shots. To make a legitimate drink, just make appropriate increases with the recipe. Matt chooses to take it as a shot since no one makes shots out of gin. I agree...
