The Votes Are In!

The Lucille Ball's Pink Lady Cocktail it is!

I little while ago, I asked y’all which cocktail I should demo from the newly acquired Stork Club Cook and Bar Book.

One was head and shoulders above the others…

I am planning to do a Lucille Ball film as a full Dinner and a Movie experience in 2025 as I have some great recipes in the collection courtesy of Lucille.

At the moment I am leaning towards The Long, Long Trailer but I would love to hear any other recommendations for Technicolor Tessie.

Until then, here’s how her Pink Lady turned out…

The Lucille Ball Pink Fizz

1 and 3/4 ounces gin

1/2 ounce applejack

4 dashes grenadine

1 egg white

Shake over ice and strain into a 4-ounce wine glass

In the video demo you will find out

• Which movie star dish I am most most likely to try from this new find (thanks to Margie for tipping me off)

• What you can use in place of Applejack in Lucille’s cocktail

• What happens when Mr Rathbone tries to film a demo AND drink a Pink Fizz

Plus you’ll get a glimpse of my new Tiki themed cocktail tumblers right at the end - thanks Debbie! A gift out of the blue - lucky me.

I feel an Stu Whitman Mai Tai coming on!

Come and have a little tipple with me at my nautical but nice cocktail bar!

I’ve sold almost half of the 100 facsimiles of the 1933 Celebrity Cocktail Contest Booket I had made, so if you’d like one, don’t delay. It would be a great prezzie for a loved one…

I hope some of you will be joining us for the free online watch party I am hosting with Vincent Price expert Peter Fuller.

You could rustle up a Lucille Ball Pink Lady to keep the whistle whetted. Or join us for a Charlie Ruggles Old-Time Martini - demo coming soon!
