BECAUSE I’M OBSESSED
I was not an early adopter of Scandal. In fact I missed the entire first season and had to watch it on Netflix. I finished the last episode of season about 45 minutes before the season 2 premiere. I started watching because I felt left out on Thursday nights. Both my Facebook and Twitter feeds were taken over by Scandal. So, I gave in to my curiosity and watched one episode and then binge watched the first season.
So, now I’m obsessed with it. so much so that I created a cocktail in honor of it. Here it is
OLITZ SMASH
2 slices of apple -In honor of Vermont (It’s the state fruit)
2 ounces of Scotch – For Fitz
3 ounces of Red Wine- For Olivia
3 dashes of Bitters- For Mellie
ice
Smash the apple slices in the bottom of a mixing cup. Add all the rest of the ingredients and stir. Strain into your glass of choice and enjoy with popcorn.
Here’s all you need to make the Olitz Smash. Red wine, I like a fruity red blend. Scotch, an apple and bitters. I like Fee Brothers bitters, it reminds me of red hots for some reason, it’s very cinnamony.

April 6, 2014 at 1:01 pm (11 years ago)Yeah, I would totally drink this! But, I have a confession to make. I’ve never watched Scandal. I know, I know, I need to jump on that bandwagon- everyone raves about it!

Pauline Cabrera
April 6, 2014 at 7:51 am (11 years ago)Ooh. I’m not really a fan of Scandal. In fact, I rarely hear about it. But creating a cocktail in honor of the show is really something. Maybe Scandal is really worth watching. 🙂

sweetsavant
April 5, 2014 at 4:40 pm (11 years ago)I’ve been meaning to start House of Cards too, I’ve heard it’s fantastic. I think I’m going to start it this week….I wonder what cocktail it will i nspire.

April 5, 2014 at 5:41 pm (11 years ago)We were addicted! Good question. They don’t drink that much. Too busy being scandalous.

April 4, 2014 at 11:51 pm (11 years ago)I’ve never seen the show, though it’s probably best that I don’t get into anything new. lol I am also not a drinker, but the addition of smashed apples does sound interesting! 🙂

Kecia
April 4, 2014 at 4:14 pm (11 years ago)I tend to come from behind with popular TV shows too. I start them on Netflix when they are already in their 2nd or 3rd season, and then play catch up!

Amanda Love
April 4, 2014 at 2:46 am (11 years ago)I have friends who would love this. You can’t talk to them when Scandal is on at all..I’ve never watched the show myself so don’t know what I’m missing. I would love to try the drink though.
