Creole Lady (Miss Creole Lady if ya nasty)

Let me be honest: this lady is a bitch.

I don't know if it's the madeira (our only new ingredient), or what, but this drink has a very ... distinctive aftertaste. At first, the Creole tastes like your average bitter bourbon drink. But about five or six seconds after you sip, there is an overwhelming aftertaste. An aftertaste Chris did not recognize ... but that I did.

To be sure that I was tasting what I thought I was tasting, I sacrificed myself to the tune of two more sips (cleansing my palate with an antiseptic Shirley Temple). And to be extra sure, I convinced my roommate Kerry to sip as well. She confirmed my ugly suspicions.

Ladies (and gentlemen): avoid at all costs.

There is definitely a hippo in store for me later.
