It’s round. It’s dimpled. No, not a baby’s booty. Lemme finish. It’s orange.
It’s NCAA tournament time.
What we drink must honor those who dunk, shoot, rebound, and alley-oop. I’m not actually quite sure that alley-oop is a verb, but work with me here.
I was just in a bar watching some hoops. Never mind that the team I picked to go all the way just lost. This should serve as a reminder to never pick a team based on your spouse’s alma mater. Mac Daddy and I watched some basketball at a local beer joint known for its wide array of local and craft brews. Of course you order beer at a beer joint, right? Well, there were tables of girls wearing bedazzled denim jackets and open back shirts drinking white wine. This is an obvious beer joint faux pas. A bedazzled denim jacket is a different faux pas all together. I shan’t tell you what school those were were cheering on.
If you are not a beer drinker, I offer you an alternative.
It’s slightly sweet, has some punch, quenches your thirst, and makes you festive without being frilly.
Alley-oops3 ounces tangerine juice1 ounce ginger vodkasplash sour soda
Grab a highball glass and plop in some ice. Pour in the tangerine juice and ginger vodka. Give it a whirl. Add an ever so slight splash of sour soda. Now this drink needs no garnish. You just have to sit back and play armchair quarterback. Sorry, wrong sport.
On Wisconsin!
You have the best drink ideas – you’ve inspired me to create a “Bottoms-Up” tab on my Pinterest account so I can collect boozy-fun.
Maybe a sister-recipe could be called a Dimple-Mint? 😛
