About the video:
As frou frou as I can be, I only like girly cocktails under specific conditions: on tropical islands, with really spicy food, or during a night of young foolishness. So when Sebastian told me we were celebrating St. Patrick's Day by making green cocktails with the Bourbon Street favorite, Blue Curacao, I admit I was concerned. But you know what? As initially unappealing as a green drink may be, it was incredibly satisfying in a second-grade-art-class kind of way to mix that blue stuff with orange juice and make a green cocktail. And Sebastian said it didn't taste half bad either. The other two drinks we mixed up for the holiday were more traditional: a tricked out version of Irish coffee called an Irish Lumberjack (yummy) and a fizzy little concoction called the Wild Irish Rose. It also bears mentioning that my sister made us a delicious drink at her apartment the night before of whiskey, tons of sour black cherries, and a splash of seltzer. After a couple of those babies, I was feeling pretty lucky, indeed. Maybe we're just lazy boozers, but Sebastian and I like our drinks to get right to the point. When we turned off the camera we were sharing our favorite: Bushmills on the rocks. St. Patrick's Day was a good excuse to put some extra effort into our libations, but we don't always need the song and dance of the cocktail shaker; sometimes we just want to turn on The Gossip and dance!
