Episode 5- Moar fashionable advice
Like we said before, we've both lost a lot of weight. That has made dressing and shopping INCREDIBLY OVERWHELMING! So, listen for some advice and some panic about underwear. Drinks highly recommended.
Black Orchid
The Black Orchid is a cocktail that Gina first had at a super from-frou cocktail lounge in New York City. Having just finished seeing a Broadway show with a group of girlfriends, they went to the top of Rockefeller Center called Bar SixtyFive which is part of the illustrious Rainbow Room. Ever since she tried this, her country heart sang and she’s been harping at me to try it. I did and I hate to admit it but the cocktail was fabulous. Maybe this time she actually IS right? We’re not changing the name though. Plus, Always Once Right sounds stupid. Anyhow, here’s the recipe for the “Black Orchid”.
Ingredients-
1 1/4 oz orange flavored vodka (we used Grey Goose l’Orange )
3/4 oz Creme de Violette
3/4 oz simple syrup
dash peach bitters
Edible orchid or other flower for garnish (I got these from our yard— yay spring!)
Instructions-
Combine everything but the flower in the cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously. Strain into a glass and add the flower.
