A cocktail for Christmas

I've never been one to believe in turning up to a party completely sober, especially at Christmas. This evening it's my final work Christmas dinner of the year, to be held at York's fantastic National Railway Museum.

So I decided to create a new cocktail to celebrate. Here are the instructions should you decide you want to try one:

Earl Grodka
1. Take one large shot-glass.
2. Take one Earl Grey teabag and lay it over the top of the glass.
3. Push it down a bit, into a slight cone shape - like filter coffee.
4. Pour vodka over the teabag. It should strain through into the glass.
5. Squeeze the teabag with a teaspoon.
6. Abandon teabag to the bin.
7. Add a single piece of ice.
8. Drink and enjoy.

Here's what it looks like:

Earl-Grodka

And it don't taste half-bad!

It is highly possible that this cocktail has in fact been created before. If that is the case, then oh well!

Hey, that sounds halfway tasty. Perhaps you should look into mixology as a moonlighting career.

It was bizarrely tasty. Main problem is that some of the vodka get's absorbed by the teabag, so it's slightly wasteful.

Well, my weekend is booked.
