BULL DOG COOLER
4 ounces gin
2 ounces Cointreau
4 ounces orange juice
Water
Sipping a BULL DOG COOLER makes me feel cool, healthy, invigorated
and guilty, because I have a work function later. Work, schmerk, I can’t go a
day without a cocktail. After almost six months, daily cocktailing has become
as much a part of my routine as brushing my teeth and nagging my child.
To make the BULL DOG COOLER, just put the first three
ingredients listed above into a shaker, add ice and shake it like a Polaroid picture.
(OK, maybe the cocktail is already going to my head — I’m in trouble.) Then
strain your mixture into a highball glass and fill the rest of the glass up
with water. Garnish or whatever.
Just like Spike, the bull dog from the Bugs Bunny cartoons, the
BULL DOG COOLER is very lovable. Cointreau and orange juice are a great combo
and the gin is tasteless, yet somehow also very necessary. I’m not sure why the
cocktail needs water, but I’ll probably be grateful for that later on. This
cocktail makes me realize that I’ve only scratched the surface of the many
great cocktails out there with orange juice. Next time you are looking to shake
things up, make yourself a strong, flexible and reliable BULL DOG COOLER.
