HEDONISM

HEDONISM

1/3 ounce LICOR 43

2 ounces Pineapple Juice

End of the World. Winter Solstice. First Day of Winter. First Snowstorm of the Year. Time to embrace Hedonism!

Hedonism is a school of thought that argues that pleasure is the only intrinsic good. Hedonist believe that all people have the right to do everything in their power to achieve the highest pleasure possible. The idea was started by a student of Socrates in Ancient Egypt named Aristippus. I bet he would have also embraced the HEDONISM cocktail as a form a pleasure. Luckily, it’s relatively simple to achieve and you can keep your clothes on. You just need Licor 43, a vanilla-flavored liqueur from Spain, and pineapple juice. Mix them together in a short cocktail glass that has been filled with ice and garnish as you find most pleasurable.

The HEDONISM cocktail is sweet and, of course, tastes mostly like pineapple. It was like a vanilla-flavored pineapple drink with a hint of the punch of alcohol. It would make a great cocktail for brunch or when nursing a cold. I found it brought out the maximum pleasure in gift wrapping. My only complaint is that it was gone from my glass much too quickly. Ahh HEDONISM… I’ll be sure to visit you again soon!
