Friday Happy Hour: The 5PM

CointreauHey, it's Friday, it's around 5PM, so why not have a 5PM? And no, that's not an excuse to get drunk at your desk at work - wait til you get home.

I'm always looking for new drinks that involve Cointreau. Whenever I have the stuff, I always drink it straight, out of a little glass. Yeah, yeah, I know, that's a lot of sweet stuff. But it just tastes sooooo good on cold winter nights.

2 cl of dark rum
1 cl of Cointreau
hot tea
2 drops of milk

Pour rum and Cointreau into a tea cup, add the tea and the milk. Wow, can it get any easier than that?

If you're wondering what the heck "cl" is, it's a centilter, which is a 1/3 ounce. Drop that bit of info at your next party.

You can probably adjust the amount of milk, since some might want more than the two drops (though I'm not sure how a lot of milk would taste in a hot alcoholic drink). This drink sounds good because not only it seems like it would give you a nice warm buzz, but since you're drinking it out of a tea cup, no one will know that you're getting sloshed. You'll look all civilized. Make sure you stick out your pinky as you drink it.
