Drink Recipes for Episode #18: Don't Shelf Yourself and Diddle Thyself

During EP#18, I recommended two TVP cocktail concoctions: Don't Shelf Yourself and Diddle Thyself.

This week's episode featured some profoundly thought-provoking and profoundly titillating discussions. Not just any cocktails would do, so I set about sampling and mixing a multitude of drinks.

As I mentioned in the drink recipe post for EP#01, whenever I make my own cocktails, I go by taste. These are approximate measurements/proportions; when you go to mix them at home, adjust them to your own tastes.

Don't Shelf Yourself

• 1 pt vodka
• 1 pt coffee brandy (or coffee liqueur)
• 1 pt hazelnut liqueur
• garnish w/ grated nutmeg or shaved chocolate*

*Note: I didn't try this drink with the shaved chocolate garnish - for obvious reasons - but both better half and my bff went the shaved chocolate route and loved it. I think the nutmeg adds a nice touch, though.

Diddle Thyself

• 1 pt amaretto
• 1 pt Stoli® Salted Karamel vodka
• 1 pt vanilla vodka
• splash of coffee brandy
