In honor of St. Patrick's Day I have two beverage recipes guaranteed to make you savor and be grateful for your Guinness. Both of these are from "A Roundup of Menus & Recipes for Girl Scouts" circa 1962.
Hot Spiced Energy Cocktail
2 cans (10 1/2 ounces each) condensed tomato soup
2 cans (10 1/2 ounces each) condensed beef broth
3 cans water
dash cinnamon
whipped cream
nutmeg
In a large saucepan, combine tomato soup, beef broth, water, and a dash cinnamon.
Heat. Simmer a few minutes to blend flavors. Garnish with whipped cream and
a sprinkle of nutmeg, if desired. Makes 9 to 10 servings.
And just in case that wasn't enough.....
High Dive Cooler
3 cans (10 1/2 ounces each) condensed beef broth
1 1/2 soup cans apple juice
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Blend beef broth with apple and lemon juices. Serve cold. Makes 9 servings.
God bless the Girl Scouts, but what on earth were they thinking? I'm guessing both these were intended to be a pre-meal beverage to whet the appetite, sort of like an aperitif. However, I can't imagine ever drinking something concocted from these ingredients on purpose! Really - whipped cream on top of tomato soup and beef broth with a dash of cinnamon?!????? I for one am more than relieved the Girl Scouts stuck with cookies. Hip-hip-hooray for Thin Mints!
