Pink Panther

"Du dum du dum, du dum" yes you know the tune. I am sure we have all seen the movies, though I doubt that Inspector Clouseau would be one to drink this one. Ever in search of the elusive Pink Panther.

The Pink Panther is and interesting drink in that it isn't sweet like the look would suggest. Mainly because of the amounts of Vodka and Bourbon.

22mls Bourbon
30mls Vodka
15mls Malibu
40mls Cream
Dash of Granidien
Shake over Ice.

 The combinations make it rough but I think the Malibu and cream are there to help smooth it out. It reminds me of an Iced Vovo for some reason but with alcohol and no biscuit. I probably wouldn't have this a lot though I find it drinkable. It does get easier after a while once you mouth gets used to it. Now this is the first cocktail I have made in a shaker. I was very excited to use it. It feels good to shake shake shake and pour.

Did you like the remake of Pink Panther with Steve Martin? I did, though I am a Steve Martin fan.Hmmm I could almost be up to watch in it now except that I just saw the first of "Sherlock" and am really keen to see more. Oh and the new "The Walking Dead" series. I have heard that the comic is awesome (I have them and have yet to read it :( ) and there is some good talk about it when it premiered in the US.

It is a shame I didn't get this one done last month. I could have some how tied it into Breast Cancer Awareness month. Never mind and apparently you are still a man if you have pink. This drink will still show you are a man but if your still afraid get it in a opaque mug.
