It Shall Be Known By One Name
by Georgia Hardstark
For a few months now, my girl Alie and I had an idea for the perfect late night/after hours snack. It started as a joke. We found ourselves hungry after last call, and seemed to be having regular cravings for McNuggets.
Alie's obsession and constant quest to find the perfect alcoholic beverage/dinner/dessert (also see: White Russian), led us to concoct what is sure to become the new craze for the upscale watering holes.
McNuggitini
Recipe by Alie and Georgia
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients:
2 McNuggz (plus more for snacking)
1 tub McDonalds Brand Barbeque Sauce (plus more for licking off pinky finger)
1 lg. Mcdonalds Brand Chocolate Milkshake (plus more for bringing all the boys to the yard)
1 bottle Vanilla Vodka (recommended brand: Absolut)
Open the McDonalds bag. Eat one McNugg each, followed by two bites of the Filet-o-Fish (make sure you don't tell anyone that you eat Filet-o-Fishes).
Mix three or four shots of vanilla vodka in the McDonalds Brand Chocolate Milkshake, followed by one shot each directly into your mouth.
Rim each martini glass with McDonalds Brand Barbeque Sauce, and pour milkshake/vodka mixture into the glass. Garnish with a McNugg (which is to be swiped along barbeque sauce rimmed glass after the milkshake has been finished, and consumed with pure, unadulterated glee).

It's bad luck to pour your own McNuggitini

Meat garnishing
After months of daydreaming, the final product is here!
"To life."
Tentative.
"Oh sweet Jesus."
Don't vomit.
Try really, really hard not to vomit.
Try again.
Vodka makes everything better
You're drinking a McNuggitini, it's almost required that you act like a dork
The money shot.
The End.

So delicious. I used to have dreams where I ordered the 50 McNugget option at McDonalds. I usually cried after eating them all (in the dream). OK, also in real life.
Oh my god.
Flippin' hilarious. I have just been inspired!
You're both lovely. Your collective awesomeness has inspired me to my own thrilling gastronomical/alcoholic heights: The Cornedbeeftini: "rim" the glass with thinly sliced, 1x3 strips of lean corned beef; prepare a shake of a dollop of brown spicy mustard, a shot of Dr. Brown's Cream Soda and the varnish of your choosing (preferably something smoky, like Wild Turkey or any good Scotch). Pour, and please enjoy.
I read THIS RECORDING everyday. I also keep coming back to "It Shall Be Known By One Name" at least once a week. In the psychology world, I think I have what is known as a "cognitive hiccup".
