This past week, I've been skiing in Colorado with my dad and some of his friends. Initially, the trip was planned as a family vacation; things got complicated and it ended up being a "mancation." Man + vacation = mancation. In other words, it's a guy's only trip.
A few people were concerned about my trip. "You're leaving in the middle of the semester?" ... "What about your classes?" ... etc. etc. etc.
I've reached a point in my life where family and fun take precedence. Don't get me wrong: I am passionate about my work and my day-to-day life. But in twenty years, am I really going to regret taking that week off work? Or, in my summation, will I have a whole load of memories to cherish? (I don't think I need to give away the answer to these questions).
Anyhoo, we men skiied, laughed, ate, drank, watched Spike TV, and drove through a blizzard. All good things. And after a day of hilariously painful spills on the mountain, nothing tasted better than a Colorado Bulldog. A Colorado what??
The Colorado Bulldog is Colorado's own take on a White Russian. Traditionally, a White Russian is made with vodka, Kahlua, and half & half. The Colorado Bulldog changes it up by adding a splash of Pepsi to the top of the cocktail. While this may sound strange, it tastes wonderful; a bit like a melted Pepsi float with some booze. I highly recommend you try it - although I can't guarantee it will satisfy in the same way without a day on the slopes to precede it. Here's a general recipe:
- Take a small tumbler glass filled with ice and add 1 shot Kahlua and 1 shot vodka.
- Fill the tumbler almost full with half & half and stir.
- Add a splash on Pepsi on top and enjoy!
Easy, right? Serves one. (We each drank 2x a day...don't judge...it was
