Alternate universe where GoneGirl majored in journalism?

Now I really love Rachel Maddow! Too bad she probably likes girls at least as much as I do.

Those are some good drinks.

All of these drinks are safe for a man to order publicly, hence why Rachel Maddow loves them.

White Bacardi IS disgusting. I like this kind of lesbian. Other lesbians, take note: less Women's Studies, more booze advice!

Hooray a daiquiri that isn't a fruit slushee

This is all sage advice.

Esquire Drinks, by David Wondrich (2002), is one of my prized possessions. For the most part, it hews close to the judgements of the 1950's era guide to entertaining Maddow is referencing. You too can view vodka concoctions with disdain.

"Some people like a cherry in their Manhattan, I think that takes up room booze could be in"

... Why do I always fall for hard drinking lesbians?

I consider all drinks more complicated than a screwdriver to be effete signifiers of the bourgeoisie but I still enjoyed this video.

Rachel, I love you, but nobody's taken that much vermouth in a Manhattan since Bess Truman died.

And yes, that is the right way to make an Old Fashioned.

And no, I wouldn't trust someone who just heard about it on a radio show to make me an Old Fashioned. Those things are complicated.

Rachel.
