We were sitting in the kitchen this morning and realized that our next blog post needed to be dedicated to Daddy Cool! He has many nicknames that have been given to him over the years by various friends and family. Here's a few that come to mind: Papa Vin, Vinnie, Vince, Vin, Vince-Bob, Doc, Pyscho Diver, Captain Ziploc...you get the picture! All of these are great, but Daddy Cool is our favorite!
Featured in this blog post is his "secret" (not a secret anymore) recipe for his famous shots...Ziggy Zoggy! You can find these shots at most Skilling gatherings. Usually Dad has at least 2 or 3 bottles prepared in the freezer. Beware! These are very potent!
1 can of concentrated limeade (preferably Minute Maid)
1 bottle of 100 proof Vodka
1/4 cup honey
1 empty (clean) gin or vodka bottle with the cap
Thaw the limeade and funnel into the clean liquor bottle. Do not discard the limeade can. Fill the limeade can full of vodka and then funnel into the liquor bottle. Pour in 1/4 cup of honey. *The honey is a good way to cut the tartness of the limeade* Shake the bottle to mix thoroughly. Place the bottle in the freezer for several hours. Serve straight out of the freezer in shot glasses.
I've nicknamed these "Mind Erasers" because they are so good you do about 5 of them before you realize it, and then you don't remember what happens next. Good times!
ReplyDeleteMmmm... Ziggy Zoggy. Yum. Happy Father's Day Vinnie!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm posting 6 days later than most because I'm older and have had more Ziggy Zogs than you youngsters! Mind Erasers for sure!! Ha!
