same recipe that John Lennon used to drink in his alcoholic phase after the Beatles broke up. Fucking Yoko.

Add some ice cream for a nice treat, also whipped cream on top with the sprinkled nutmeg looks good for presentation.

John Lennon's favorite drink.

I'm out of creme de cacao. I used coconut liqueur. My mom claims it's delicious, haha, but for me it's a bit too high proof. I must have messed with measurement. All in all, it _TASTES_ good.

Love at first sip

I can only find 1 place that makes a good one. All the bars I've been to ask me "what's in one?" Are you kidding me, your the bartender!

Shaken-use cognac for a change.

Instead of half and half, blend your favorite vanilla ice cream with the rest of the recipe to taste.

It goes down easy

Just like the Fiest song... jazzy and smooth.

leave out the cream de cacao and use Vandermint Liqueur, it's from Holland. Comes in a white bottle with blue wind mills on it. It's a little hard to find so buy 2 while your at it. I carry a bottle with me when I travel and the bartender uses mine.
