Behold the McNuggetini

Posted by Jonathan Bender on Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 1:00 PM

There's not a lot of culinary overlap between toddlers and cougars -- but perhaps McNuggetinis can fill that void. The Huffington Post (via Eat Me Daily) linked to what it termed "comedic news": an instructional guide from Georgia Hardstark and Alie Ward on how to make the cocktail from three McDonald's menu items and vanilla vodka. 

"We've invented a drink that combines dinner, dessert and booze," says Hardstark in the beginning of the video, which is somewhere between an etiquette guide and Funny or Die parody. Those with jaws wired shut or who have successfully completed the payment plan on their Magic Bullet should pay attention.

The beginning of the drink seems reasonable: It's a chocolate shake mixed with vanilla vodka in a shaker. 

"This is kind of like a White Russian on Angel Dust. It's pretty strong," says Ward.

But then it gets a bit tougher to swallow, literally. Hardstark

explains that McDonald's barbecue sauce should be used as a martini

glass rim, swirling the exterior of the glass in the gloopy sauce

spread out on a plate. The coup de grace is a cut McNugget that is

placed on the rim of the glass like an orange slice.

"This is where the McNugettini gets its name," says Ward, before Hardstark joins her in saying,"Meat garnish."

If

you're curious as to whether this drink is a success or not, I'll leave

you to judge that based on the faces the two women make after taking

their first sip. And Hardstark and Ward are not one to rest on their

laurels. They've promised more meat-based cocktails with the ham

daiquiri.

Maybe that explains the drink I see the youngsters imbibing from time to time.

Looks like split pea soup.

Bet it tastes as good coming up as going down, eh?
