she was one cocktail away from proving his mother right

Whistling Gypsy

My first mother-in-law used to refer to me, I am told, as “that gypsy.” Guess what I called her?

1 ounce Tia Maria

1 ounce Baileys Irish Cream

1 ounce vodka

Pour the Tia Maria into a double shot glass. Using the back of a spoon, slowly float the Baileys Irish Cream, and then the vodka, in that order.
