Pink Polar Bear Welcome to the Sunday night shooter edition of Common Man Cocktails, I’m your host Derrrick Schommer. Today, we’re going to make a Sunday Night Shooter on Sunday night. The shooter is going to be called the Pink Polar Bear and this is a recipe submitted by Rob. So, what we’re going to do is some Vodka, we’re going, to use the Christiania vodka product in Norway. For those Norwegians that are listening, I know they have with forms and I think somebody from Norway said thinking a lot of picture, rose grenadine and milk, pink and vodka with pink, pretty easy. See how it tastes. We’re going to shake those ingredients up and put them into our shot glass. Got to keep it real nice and shaking in cold. So we’re going to do three quarters of an ounce of our vodka. We’re going to do one third of an ounce of milk. I figured I don’t have 1/3 on here. I think I say that every time. So there’s our milk. We’re going to do three quarters of an ounce of grenadine, some more equal parts grenadine and vodka. That's a lot of grenadine. Three quarters, that’s like almost full. We’re running low on grenadine here, luckily I have another one. That’s already half used. You always got to have two half bottles. i don’t know why you always have to but it’s the new rule. It doesn’t smell like anything which is why I picked this one, this is pretty high-end vodka. I think it’s like in the United States at least, I believe, I remembered it’s like $65 dollars a bottle. It is absolutely crazy but I figured, this is a type of drink where it probably want us to play silently, no flavor so I didn’t go with anything that has any — there’s no biasing grass. I didn’t do the St. Petersburg. Of course you can some Titos if you’re trying to conserve cost for such a drink since Titos is the same. I think Titos personally is about the same as the Christiana but $14, $16, you can do your own math. But I like to explore every branch because I think its fun and I know not everybody else has the opportunity to do so or has all the branch. So, if I just go through them all, somebody might have it. I think there’s probably another shot in there because three quarters and three quarters with that milk in here is just too big for this little glass here. So, that’s your Pink Polar Bear. It’s pink but its whitish like the transparent, translucent, opaque, it’s got all that. It’s just oink but it is light pink. It’s dark but it’s bright. Yeah you’re right. That's not what I think. Strawberry milk would be like pink but it’s not dark like it’s not dark. I need to drink this. It doesn’t have any smell. It’s surprisingly good. It tastes like candy, like strawberry like an artificial strawberry candy. Yeah. You know those little strawberry candies that you want to twist and we bite them, they have that weird little jelly stuff inside, like that syrupy sticky stuff, in the ones that look in the strawberry wrappers that are supposed to trick you and think like they are real strawberries but they're square? It tastes like the inside. They look square in the outside to me compared to a real strawberry which has its own natural look. Anyway, it tastes like the inside of one of those strawberry candies. I like that so I'm going to make sure I have a little left over here so that other people—oh, look at that. It makes exactly two so that we could share these after the show which is about right now. I’m your host Derrick Schommer for EverydayDrinkers.TV, we’re teaching you how to drink.
