In tonight's segment when you showed a couple of NYT front pages, I thought I noticed a curious sub-headline. Did one of the headlines read something to the effect:

"Orgies Will Be Frowned Upon"...?

Or was I under the influence of too many Gatsbys?

FANTASTIC! Thanks for putting cocktails on your show, Rachel. I'm even more happy to watch your show now.

Liberty is a classic, scratch-cocktail bar here in Seattle, and next time that you're in town, I hope that you stop by our nice ol' town.

Here's one for you, one of our custom drinks:

The Continental

2oz Plymouth Gin

.5oz St. Germain

.25oz Amaro Nonino

Stir ingredients in glass, pour into cocktail shell (martini glass) and garnish with a lemon twist.

Yum.

Thanks, Rachel!

Just saw his on the show and now I'm craving it like crazy!

Great drink Rachel! ... but come on, "The Snowball"... really? 'Cause it's easier to remember at your house?? ... It's been a long week, I know - great drink and great hysterical moment of unintended sexual innuendo.

@chomper I thought the exact same thing. Oh boy.

hey Rachel! this drink does sound delicious... is it good in the blender, too, you think?? might have to try it that way since i don't have a good martini glass ;)

*Shake it until it hurts, then shake it some more....*

What brand creme de cacao was Rachel using?

I Loved tonight show. It looks like a great drink. I got to pass for today got an allergy to alcohol. I breakout in spots. Have a Great Day.

Seriously, Rachel. You need to make a book of these drinks.

I highly doubt Rachel knew "The Snowball" was sexual. I mean, she's incapable of saying masturbate on TV for god's sake.

So is this supposed to make me want to move to Long Island and obsessively watch for Daisy's lights twinkling across the water in the evening?

It said "ORGIES ARE FROWNED ON". I wish Rachel had mentioned it.  :)

Still laughing. i love celebrating the end of Prohibition w/ a Snowball or a Gatsby.

You go Girl!

Blessed Be!

This looks like a mixed drink I would actually drink.

Where is Kent?

Rachel has to have a friday cocktail hour like Keith has friday's with Thurber!

BTW, this looks like good use for that bottle of amaretto I got as a gift a few years ago and don't know what to do with.

I don't like your make-a-drink segments. Your viewers are tuned in to see politics, not this. I am a huge fan of your show but it is getting more and more off track and "cutsie".

Ironies of Prohibition:

• Was introduce as a Bill by a Republican, and Passed into Law by a Republican Congress (both Houses);
  (Hey, aren't they supposed to be the Party of Limited Government Interference in peoples lives, and 'Personal Responsibility', opposed to the 'Nanny State'? Of course, Democrats aren't blameless, many of them also voted in favor of it, as did 2/3rds of the States, as required by the Constitution, for Amendments - Still, I was struck by the Irony and Hypocrisy!)
• Was VETOED by Woodrow Wilson, Democratic President, a noted Progressive, and Glenn Beck's "Favorite President" (note: *Sarcasm* Beck literally HATES Wilson);
• Veto was Overridden by the Republican led House and Senate the same day.
• Led to one of the Greatest Rises in Organized Crime, including Al Capone, the Mafia, and many other bootleggers, gangs and criminals.
  Prohibited making, selling, or importing alcohol...but Not Drinking It! ;-)
• At least the Bill Repealing it was introduced by a Republican Senator, who naturally, was voted out of office.
• The Repeal was passed and enacted across two sessions of Congress, one split between Republicans and Democrats, the other with Democrats in charge of both Houses - Utah was the last State to Ratify it. (Thank You!)
• Was the only amendment ever Ratified by 'State Ratifying Conventions' rather than by State Legislatures.
• It's Enaction and Repeal were both subjects of arguments concerning the 'Commerce Clause' of the 10th Amendment.
• Prohibition is one of the only two Ammendment which prohibit American Citizens from doing something (as opposed to prohibiting the Government's activity) - The other was Owning Slaves, much more offensive, in my opinion, and the opinion of most reasonable people.

Thank Goodness it's Gone!

10am..just awoke..usually arise @ 5am..still see 'SNOWBALLS' when I close my eyes......umm good! Much better than my usual Peach Schnapps on the rocks by the fireplace!

Try this...............

Berryetto

2oz white rum
2oz amaretto
8oz (MOL) frozen sliced strawberries in syrup, partially thawed
4oz heavy cream (I use 1/2 & 1/2)

ice cubes
In a blender combine all ingredients except whole berry; blend smooth. Pour into stemmed glass. Makes 2 servings.

Thank God we have people like Rachel to educate us on matters of alcoholic beverages. I think we're all going to need it in the near future.

The Gatsby or Snowball is next on my favorite drink list, I can feel it.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Can't wait to try this, but first need to buy some ingredients, and I'm going for the heavy cream. No need to think of calories now.

Dear Rachel,

you are a shining light in my life. i am surrounded by endless sea of political zombies who know nothing of the world around them. I wish i could sit down sometime and have a beer and shoot the @!$%# and talk politics with you. i am particularly interested in hearing your ideas on the development of an alarming obstructionist culture in congress that is escalating severely, relative to historical standards. I would also love to hear how you feel about if you think it is possible we will ever see change to our electorate college system or closed primaries? Both of which are grossly extorted by party loyalist tactics and a rivalry similar to sports. It is possible i am shooting myself in the foot by raising this topic, but it is one I wish i could hear your opinion on. I find your lucid debate of issues and specific, accessible explanations of your opinions quite refreshing, as a lighthouse amongst the sea of pseudo-political opinionated garbage. That is why i want to hear your opinions about these issues because they are issues i struggle with and find the most controversial. It would be invaluable to hear your input. Despite the significant population of peaceful Muslims, do you agree with the viewpoint that the mechanics of Islam is violent expansionism, based on a range of Islamic texts and the observation of its literal roots. Based on that opinion, how do you feel about the significance of documented deceitful tactics by "Primary Source" under the intention of instructing school children how to pray? Risking treading further into controversial waters i have to ask my next question. considering the questions above regarding Islam, how do we take on our own country's hypocritical struggle with church and state, and how is that contributing to the culture war's impact in the growth of the obstructionist culture in congress?

Thanks Rachel for your time i really hope you have happy holidays and i look forward to your show every night! you're such a positive impact in Politics in this country, keep doing what you are doing!

Rachel, you're just the best! I really wish you'd compile all your cocktail knowledge into a book, maybe offering some tips on what makes a nice food pairing with each drink, bits of trivia, etc. My mom is your absolute biggest fan, and I know she'd go crazy over something like that (as would a lot of others!)

Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us each day, cocktail-related and otherwise. :)
