- Alright Eddie,
0:02
we can't celebrate New Year's Eve
0:05
without something to drink, right?
0:06
- Without a cocktail though, yes.
0:07
- Eddie.
0:09
I pulled him from behind the camera
0:12
to in front of the camera y'all
0:13
cause he makes
0:15
wonderful drinks, I've heard.
0:18
(giggles) (laughs)
0:19
Everybody seems to enjoy them.
0:21
But y'all know, I'm just not much of a drinker.
0:24
So,
0:26
and this is Paula Deen's French martini.
0:28
And you'll find this on our website.
0:30
We've made it before.
0:32
But
0:35
I'm gonna step aside for the pro.
0:37
- Well you know,
0:38
(laughs) I think,
0:39
I think last year we kind of did
0:40
for our little get together,
0:42
we did something similar to those I think.
0:43
- [Camerawoman] We did do those!
0:45
- Did Elaine come over for one?
0:47
- No it was just us and you know the office,
0:49
- The office. - You know Theresa,
0:50
Casey and Mackenzie. - [Camerawoman] Yeah we needed
0:51
to have an office happy hour.
0:53
For the holidays, and Eddie made us a nice drink.
0:56
- I like this part of the drink.
0:58
(laughs)
0:59
- [Camerawoman] So what do we got Eddie?
1:00
- This is Paula Deen's French martini,
1:02
a toast to the New Year. - My aunt Peggy loves vodka.
1:04
- Yes.
1:06
Her little-
1:07
- [Camerawoman] She likes Absolut though.
1:08

champaign,
1:19
this one's Tito's. - Okay so,
1:20
- [Camerawoman] You can go really fancy,
1:22
or you can go, that's kind of a middle of the road vodka.
1:26
It's like the- - Gosh it almost has no
1:27
smell to it Eddie. - Yeah vodka really doesn't
1:29
have a smell. - [Camerawoman] That's why
1:30
people drink vodka. - It's such a small bottle.
1:32
- [Camerawoman] Well that's a little one!
1:34
Cause we're not making a bunch of drinks.
1:36
- I guess this is the size that people would buy maybe
1:39
to put in their purse if they were,
1:40
(Camerawoman laughs) going out right?
1:42
- Right. (laughs) - If they ask you to,
1:44
bring your own bottle.

Okay so, - So,
1:48
- two ounces of vodka.
1:49
- Yes, two ounces of vodka,
1:51

2:02
we're using Chambord.

2:15
And toast it off with some
2:18

2:20
- I know isn't it, isn't that nice?
2:21
- It's pretty.

that'd be a good size for your Italian.
2:33
- Or vanilla.
2:35
- Yes so we can make our, - Be a nice vanilla.
2:37

2:40
