Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

She's very strict about what constitutes real lime juice and how much you should shake the drink.

She's a cocktail snob! We could totally go drinking together.

Just know that she will judge you by your order.

Not a problem! My current favorite drink has rye, cognac and bitters in it.

For those who are not cocktail snobs but would want to impress Rachel Maddow should you be having drinks with her, the two fool proof cool drinks to have in front of a cocktail snob would be: The Aviation (Betsy is a partisan of this, incidentally) or The Negroni.

Or, you know, just order what you prefer.

MC: What do you do when you're not doing your pundit thing?
RM: On weekends I stay away from politics, which isn't hard because we don't own a TV. I go to the dump every Saturday. I wake up on Sunday and plan out what cocktail I'm going to make that night. I'm a hobbyist bartender and a drinking bully.

MC: You bully people into drinking?
RM: I bully them about what they drink - whether I think it's worthy. Your Peronis pass muster.

Okay, well, you could try to have a Slow Comfortable Screw on the Beach in front of Rachel Maddow but she would totally go bartender dom on your ass.

True fact.

The Aviation is very tasty! It's not a hardship to drink. (Betsy prefers the variation with Violet, as I recall.)

I don't care what Rachel Maddow thinks, I'm about to throw some Bailey's into instant hot cocoa.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm about to throw some Bailey's into instant hot cocoa.

Yum. A winter classic.
