Brightest Young Things


It's been so cold lately. I know it will warm up tomorrow but dammit, I'm cold NOW.

Rusty Nail

  • 1 1/2 oz Scotch
  • 3/4 oz Drambuie
  • lemon twist

Pour ingredients into an old-fashioned glass with ice cubes and stir well. Add lemon twist. Gulp and make another one to actually sip and enjoy. The first one was just to warm your soul and make you forget that it's -1º outside. I am not a Scotch person by any means. I need to give Scotch another 5 years or so before it makes me not want to vomit (this isn't because I can't handle hard liquor, but more because I once chased shots of Scotch with red wine and ended up with a nine-day hangover. The smell alone is noxious). Drambuie however is nice; it has Scotch in it, but also herbs and honey to give it a lovely spice-infused taste.

Feel free to play around with your favorite Scotch. You might also consider adding a little less Drambuie (a Scotch-based liqueur) to flavor the Scotch at first, and adding a smidge more to taste. The goal is to subtly enhance the Scotch with Drambuie, not overpower!

God loves a cheerful giver.

while I’m totally okay with this fancy stuff, daniella, it is the masses, the masses who don't get it.

I have an inkling ’rusty trombone’ means something unspeakably gross. NO, I won't consult the Urban Dictionary, thank you very much.

your instincts serve you well on the rusty trombone, Ernest.

Everyone should wiki the Rusty Trombone. It's actually informational and educational. Seriously.

The rusty trombone is nowhere near as sickening as leftover chili. Not even close.

VR - I am not sure why. I found the article very informational. It's funny that you can be fined for sayin "Rusty Trombone" on the air, but not for a slew of other words or descriptions. Hell I didn't even know what a Rusty Trombone truly was, but yet it can't be spoken of.

I find that educational and informational.

Besides the Rusty Trombone is no where near as gross as a Cleveland Steamer or a Dirty Sanchez provided that your partner, the trombonee?, bathes.

say, I was considering getting a Cleveland Steamer in my kitchen...do you think that's a good idea?
