Notre Dame Cocktails And Dreams

Did you ever need that perfect cocktail recipe while watching Notre Dame football play?

It’s the offseason for Notre Dame football now, so you may have to forgive us for what we are about to do. Well, it’s not that bad, so long as you appreciate something other than recruiting hype or coaching hot seat speculation- and anything else that is HOT IN WINTER.

So… I started doing what any normal husband and father of 3 does while they’re driving to work. I started to make up some cocktail recipes using Notre Dame football coaches as ingredients.

The possibilities are endless, and in no way should you consider one coach married to one particular booze. Candice was torn when it came to defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder:

While both are fine choices, I see Brian VanGorder as Midori. True strory about Midori (unintentional rhyme): My uncle was the general manager of a tennis club in Kentucky. It was fairly large and had indoor soccer fields and outdoor sand volleyball and more. They held a huge volleyball tournament that was sponsored by Midori. Midori supplied a ton of shirts, glasses, and other such promotional items- as well as a ton of their famous green drink, Midori. At the end of the day, not ONE single bottle found its way into the hands of the crowd.

No one wanted it, because Midori is awful. It has one use, and green food coloring would be a better option.

SEE! (Waits for cheers as we tilt at windmills).

The offseason is long, and when it comes to Notre Dame, the obvious bad news hits even harder. The point here is to have a little fun. (Just a little dammit). So, go ahead and play this little game and forget about possible decommits, transfers, coaches taking NFL jobs, scandal, Jack Swarbrick shaving off his beard- you get the point.

Texas is 240 days away.
