An evening with the Ballet Russe

Omg, Gentle Reader, did you know there is a cocktail that is actually called a Ballet Russe?
I did not know this!
Until last night!
When Mr. Adult Beginner handed me this gorgeous deep dark colored thing and said, “This is actually called a Ballet Russe.”
It was good, too, bitches. There is no photo because I drank that mofo up, whuuuuut!
Here’s how:
2parts vodka- get potato vodka. Because its The Right Thing To Do. We use that Trader Joes brand that is like “Monopoloya” or some such, with the blue label that looks all Worker&Parasite.
1/2part creme de cassis- get something nice! Not cheap! Cheap equals sweet. Sweet equals death. This is a black currant liqueur, btw.
lime- recipe calls for “four dashes”. Don’t know about you, but the Adult Beginner refuses to measure things in dashes. Because that is just plain ridiculous. Plus lime is good. Keeps the rickets away, right Sailors? Squeeze, like, half a lime in there.
Drink it over ice.
Feel glamorous, ’cause ya are, baby!!!!!
