ELECTRIC POPSICLE


ELECTRIC POPSICLE
1 measure Crème de Banana
½ measure lime juice
1 measure Parfait Armour
1½ measures vodka

 
I don’t know about electric, but the ELECTRIC POPSICLE cocktail looks and tastes exactly like a grape popsicle. To make it, I put the ingredient above — including the hard-to-find Parfait Armour — in the measurements above, into a cocktail shaker. I added ice, shook it well and strained it into a small cocktail glass that I’d filled with crushed ice. I wish I’d had a popsicle stick to use as garnish, because the ELECTRIC POPSICLE took me back to my childhood days, when a 10 cent popsicle made me happy. Crème de Banana makes me happy today and it worked well with the Parfait Armour in the ELECTRIC POPSICLE, but someday I might just put it on ice by itself and see what that is like. Hubby didn't like the strong banana taste in this cocktail nearly as much as me and thought it tasted more like a bomb pop than a grape popsicle. Whatever you think it tastes like, you won’t notice this cocktail’s strength, despite the three liquors it contains. My suggestion — give the children a popsicle from the freezer and yourself an ELECTRIC popsicle from the bar. Life is short!
