As I have said before, it is always with great pleasure that I discover another member of the Grasshopper family. Tonight we make the Golden Cadillac, a Grasshopper made with Galliano in place of the Creme de Menthe. According to Dale, the Golden Cadillac "was created at Poor Red's Saloon in Eldorado, California, where everything is golden." He doesn't indicate its date of creation.

The Golden Caddy is nice, and as a member of the Grasshopper family it is predisposed to be pleasing to me.

As much as I like the Golden Caddy, I decided that I thought it could be made even more golden by the substitution of Egg Nog for the cream. The results are pleasing.

I proudly present The Golden Sleigh, my first cocktail created for a holiday I don't celebrate. But in the spirit of all holidays, I invite all of my gentile brethren to come partake of this delicious cocktail that I have created in their honor.

Why is the Egg Nog already at my local grocer? It's not even Halloween yet. And why can't the Egg Nog be a little more interfaith in its packaging? As it is it looks way too Christmasy, but I like it nonetheless. My mother has some not-fully-thought-out theory about how it is actually the Jews who are really in charge of Christmas. I don't know what made me think of this. But if any of you are either a) trying to say that you came up with this drink first or b) you don't want some Yid telling you about Christmas, get over it.
