Tasty Tuesday - Role Playing & Screaming Orgasms

In the heat of summer spice up the night with a little role playing. 

Your honey can be a bartender and you are... well... you!

You walk up to him (the bar) and say,

 "Hey there handsome. How about you give me a Screaming Orgasm?"

 

 

 

1 oz vodka
1 1/2 oz Bailey's® Irish cream
1/2 oz Kahlua® coffee liqueur

Pour first vodka, then Bailey's, then Kahlua into a cocktail glass over crushed ice. Stir.

Caution: use only high quality vodka. Cheap vodka can cause the Bailey's to curdle. Test your brand of vodka by mixing 1 Tsp each of vodka and Bailey's first.

How this scene plays out is strictly up to you.
