Thirsty Thursday: Pick Your Poison
 |
Did anyone else catch the amazing article on Slate last week about the US government’s poison-the-citizens initiative during prohibition? Apparently the US government was so angered by illegal booze consumption that officials ordered the poisoning of industrial alcohol. (Industrial alcohol was regularly stolen by bootleggers and resold as drinkable spirits.)
The government believed this scare tactic would get people to give up the drink. Instead, the poisoning killed an estimated 10,000 people. Way to go, Uncle Sam. Any one else thankful to be living in a time where we can enjoy a cocktail without the government trying to kill us over it? I’ll toast to that. |
And what shall we drink? How about a Poisoned Apple?
Just combine 1 oz rum with 1 oz Sour Apple Pucker. Top off with Sprite and serve over ice.
