This week we are throwing it back to a movie that just celebrated its 30th anniversary, the Ridley Scott film Thelma & Louise starring Geena Davis (Thelma) and Susan Sarandon (Louise). For those of you that haven't seen this classic, it's about two best friends that set out on an adventure, but it soon turns around to a terrifying escape from being hunted by the police, as these two girls escape for the crimes they committed. They are each other's "ride or die" literally and this is well before The Fast and The Furious franchise came out. It also stars Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Christopher McDonald, Stephen Tobolowsky, Jason Beghe, and even Brad Pitt.
Girls Night Out (twocrumbsup.co):
Ingredients
- 2 oz Wild Turkey
- Coke to fill
- Maraschino Cherry to garnish
- Shot of Wild Turkey on the side...
- 2 oz Jose Cuervo Silver
- 1 oz Triple Sec
- 2 oz Lime Juice
- 1 tsp Agave Syrup
- Ice
- Salt for the Rim
- Slice of Lime
- Shot of Cuervo on the side...
Directions
- Louise's order is relatively simple-- girl doesn't have time for anything fancy, she wants to DANCE. Pour whiskey over ice, top off with coca cola, and garnish with a cherry.
- For Thelma's margarita, first run a slice of lime around the rim of your glass to moisten it. Then, dip the glass in salt to coat the rim. Next, mix tequila, triple sec, lime juice, agave, and ice in a cocktail shaker-- shake vigourously until fully chilled, and pour into salted glass. Add more ice and garnish with a slice of lime.
- Serve both drinks with their respective shots and get ready to BEAT A MAN'S ASS.
Drinking Game (suggestions I found on twitter):
- A shot every time somebody says "Dammit Thelma!"
- Chug at "Driiivvvvee Louise!"
- Do a shot when they mention Texas.
- Drink when they slag off a man.
- Drink when they mention Mexico.
- Drink when Louise is snarky to someone and Thelma is naive.
- Chug when Thelma says "Look out, my hair's coming down!"
- Take a drink at all feminist parts!
