Love Potion #9 Cocktail

Valentine’s Day is Five Days away.  Are you tired of waiting patiently for cupid to show up and shoot his arrow?  Well, as the lyrics to song Love Potion #9 says

 I took my troubles down to Madame Rue
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She’s got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin’ little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine

I told her that I was a flop with chics
I’ve been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said “What you need is Love Potion Number Nine”

She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said “I’m gonna make it up right here in the sink”
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn’t know if it was day or night
I started kissin’ everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine

 

I am not guaranteeing that this cocktail is a love potion, cause it sure didn’t smell like turpentine or look like Indian ink (whatever that is?) and I can assure you I did not have to hold my nose while I drank it.  Nope this is a sweet-tart little drink, that may work on that certain somebody that maybe needs a little nudge…. or shove.  So mix it and serve it up this Valentine’s Day and give it a shot. (get it… shot… you know like cupid… you know it’s funny!)   Keep me posted on the results….
