Oh fudge! I wish that I had the time to visit NYC right now. From now until December 30th you can catch Broadway’s tribute to my ultimate favourite Christmas movie – “A Christmas Story – The Musical”. It’s playing at the Lunt-Fontanne theatre on 46th Street, which is an absolutely beautiful venue. Ooh, I want to go so bad!!
I am very curious about the music in the Broadway show. What scenes do you think will be turned into musical numbers? *Sigh* Ah, well. I will just have to content myself to watching the movie for the umpteenth time. To ease my sorrows, I christened the following cocktail, “Yule" Shoot Your Eye Out!”
The non-alcoholic recipe came from a former boss of mine. Once when I had the flu, she recommended a drink that her mom would make for her when she was a little girl and feeling poorly. She said that it would help ease my throat. The drink was a combination of honey, lemon and ginger ale warmed in the microwave. She was right! However, I discovered that when you microwave ginger ale, it becomes like, twenty times more effervescent. The bubbles literally pop out of your mug all over your face. So, I thought, why not "Irish it up" a bit? Hence the inspiration for the name.
