Re: Refreshing cocktails

One I remember from days gone by that I really liked was called 'Instand Joy'. It's Bianco wine over ice with a splash of orange juice. REAL refreshing. Well, I was a bartender back then and one night my girlfriend Jeannie who was a fellow bartender, and I, were having some 'Instand Joy', and it occured to us that it would be REALLY good if we added a shot of Cuervo to it. Hence was born the 'Screaming Jeannie'....

Try a Instand Joy sometime if you like white wine. I hadn't even thought about them for years until I saw this thread, now I think I'll go get some Bianco!!!

Try a 'Screaming Jeannie' if you're daring. I couldn't do it anymore but I have to say it was a heck of a funny night, LOL!
