Bartender, I’ll Have A Frosty Nord On The Rocks, Please
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the fjord
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Nord
The vodka was placed by the lake bed with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas would soon be there
This is one of my favorite iterations of the classic Christmas poem. I feel like it really captures the three essentials of the season: ice, vodka, and tinsel. Coincidentally, ice, vodka, and tinsel are the main ingredients for a drink I like to whip up at parties called Mrs. Claus’s Tumbler Of Regret. It would be an absolute smash if I was old enough to drink, or I went to parties, or I was invited to parties, or if I knew anyone who threw the sort of parties that I would be invited to. But other than that, the drink’s a hit with everyone who’s tried it.
