Bow-legged Kentucky Woman

When in doubt, trust your bartender. That was the lesson I learned in Baltimore this weekend. There are times when beer is too bitter, well-drinks too dry, Long Island Iced Teas too... Long Island... and sober is just not an option. In moments like these, I usually turn to the Rusty Nail (Scotch and Drambuie) , a drink I learned from my good friend Joey, but unfortunately Drambuie isn't always that easy to come by. In one such moment last Friday, at Max's, I had the good sense to ask Frank, the upstairs bartender, what he could suggest in lieu of a Rusty Nail, and this is what he had for me:

Bow-Legged Kentucky Woman*
1 Part Jack Daniels
1 Part Southern Comfort
1 Part Amaretto
Splash of Triple Sec
Splash of Pineapple Juice

*Frank wasn't so sure of the name

Fun Accomplished.

Thanks Frank.
