The Smart Woman: Our Cocktail Tribute to "Alien"

Описание: In this video, we present the “Smart Woman,” a Cocktails Under Quarantine original drink! Inspired by the classic cocktail, the “White Lady,” the Smart Woman pays homage to the 1979 science fiction horror masterpiece, Alien. The “Smart Woman” refers to Ellen Ripley as portrayed by Sigourney Weaver. As one film review famously stated, “Alien is a movie where no one listens to the smart woman. And then they all die. Except the smart woman and her cat. 4 stars.” We were happy to use all North Carolina products in this video. If you don’t have chocolate orange liqueur in your area, a reasonable substitute is 0.5 oz each orange liqueur and chocolate liqueur.

*Note, I said that we're on Instagram. I have no idea why I said that. We're NOT on Instagram. We are Gen Xers, after all.
