Abandon your Appletini, cancel that Cosmopolitan — the hippest new cocktail among the cutegnoscenti is the Angry Ferret. In a cocktail shaker, combine:
2 parts gin
1 part strawberry liqueur
1 part lemon juice
1 baby ferret
1 dash Angostura bitters
Add ice and shake until vexed.
“This is my baby Holly!” says Linda G.
FERRET toe beans! Om nom nom nom!
PS “Shake until vexed”– an instruction right out of Posh Nosh.
Vexed!! Awesome use of a very good word. Vexed!
My favorite show . . .
Vexed is such great word – and perfect for the the expression on Holly’s face…
HE LOOKS LIKE CHARLIE SHEEN!!!!!!!
o__o omg he DOES!
only much better looking
Watch it…or she’ll start demanding a 50% raise in noms and blaming CO for trying to sabotage her family.
At first i was like “That’s redonk. How could a bebeh ferret look like Charlie Sheen??” Then I did a GIS for said Sheen, and wouldn’t ya know it – dead ringer!
now HE’S vexed. but i bet his (better) dad is embarassed and vexed…
“And you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry!”
Silly, ferret, of course we will
they look so cute when they’re perturbed!
Uh oh, looks like Ms. Ferret’s about to get pulled over for DWI: Drinking While Infuriated
Me like dees!!!
or maybe DWI: Driving While Intimidating?
how about DUI: Driving Under-Impressed?
Floofy furrowed frown finds fault
Fantastic and Funny!!!
That bebbeh ferret could teach a bun a thing or two about disapproval!
p.s., I bet that drink is deeelicious!
*gulp*
barkeep, another round!
The name is Ferret, James Ferret.
A++ AND extra credit points!!! Move to the Head of the Glass.
*giggle*
“Shaken, not stirred.”
Gah! The nose! It looks like somebody colored just the end of it with magic marker. Beep!
too kyut!!
Awwrrr I miss my ferrets!!
my ferrets peed on the floor. must have been ‘write your name’ day…
Holly is not amused, but she is still adorable!
stoatini
manhastoat
costoatpolitan
mai-ohai
pina stoatlada
stoazerac
stoatarita
long ermine iced tea
weasel eraser
i may have a problem
Ya think? LOL
Don’t forget the Mink Lady!
Looks like a Weasel Sour to me… or maybe a Mink Julep?
Or a Whiskery Sour? Or a Highball of Fur?
An Old Fershioned.
Personally, my fav is the Long Ermine Iced Tea. With extra whiskers for garnish.
Love the “mai-ohai”!!!!! Too funny…
bah. throw away the thorazine and enjoy life!!
Ferretini. Or Ferret-teeny.
we like our McFerretson’s shaken, not stirred.
Le siiiigh, almost makes me miss my ferrets’ teeny baby stages. Those little feets!
It is high time for some sort of ‘Woozel’ tag to house all the mustelids here!
As seen on “Vex and the City”
I guess if acted out by ferrets, it would be “Vex and the Crittery.”
Mike–she’s not mean, she’s just misunderstood!
that’s “Ms Understood” to you!
Yes ma’am!
Deck the highball (glass) with frowns of Holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
This is what you drink when you find out your boyfriend’s a weasel.
*high-five*
(but did you perhaps intend it to be an Equal Opportunity, non-gender-determined joke, right??? Males OR females who are human weasels???)
Ooh, I suspect that Holly’s favourite cocktail is a Bloody Linda, straight from the jugular!
That is a Look of Mustelid Disapproval.
Nobody puts Holly in a corner, I mean whine glass!
After my current ferret passes on, I plan to be pet-less so that I don’t feel guilty about boarding my pets while I’m off gallivanting around the world. And then I see pictures like this one and almost start searching Petfinder for fuzzies in need of a forever home. Almost.
Such a cute little beastie. I’ll just BOOP that nose! There. I feel much better now.
I know…it is such a dilema! I’m having the same thoughts about getting another dog. Cats are fairly easy to leave alone but the more “human-dependent” pets are a different story.
so glad you recalled it’s ‘boop’ and not ;’ beep’. although latter is cute enough. as the engenderer of ‘boop; on my helpless infant , i feel i have some boop authority here….
also snork..
i think i may have a problem….
nope. You got NO PROBLEMO!!! Jist a love of All Things Cute
@ belphebe (sp?) Thank you for using the word “gallivanting” !!!
IMHO, ANY day in which someone uses that word, is improved
I’m not sure that ferret is angry so much as disgruntled. I can just hear the muttered “FEH!”
Oh STOP! “Add ice and shake until vexed!” Brilliant!
As for the disapproving ferret, I’ll have him straight up! Deeeelicous!
Sorry, I guess I should have said:
I’ll have “her” straight up. I’m in big trouble now. Guess I deserve the look of disgust, eh?
Dang. That is THE definition of “stink-eye”. Don’t know what I did, but I suddenly feel guilty about it *skulks to corner to think about what she did*
Awww! Just so adorable! Poor ferret doesn’t look too happy about being in a cocktail though, lol.
Why, sir, are you so displeased?
Looks like there’s more than a dash of bitters in this one.
Why do blue panda-ferret?
^so
I hear her saying “Oh no you di-int!”
Get me out of here or I’ll make my own garnish!
OMG bebbeh ferret toe-smooshies! *Melt*
The bun’s look of disapproval is due to the shape of its mouth (looks like corners are turned down – a micro-expression indicating contempt, as they say on TV).
In the case of this ferret, it’s all about the “V” shape of its nose, which, when viewed head on, gives the insider upper quadrant of the eye a slanted look, as if narrowing in anger.
Interestingly, the critter in the title banner of this blog, another member of the weasel family, has an inverted “V” shaped nose, the result of which is cute overload.
So V shaped nose = disapproval, inverted V = adorablez.
Very impressed.
Spoken like a True Cuteologist!
dang. i didn know it.
Hair of the ferret?
This is why, some drinks taste like ferret pee.
after a couple of those the bartender won’t need to ask you for your car keys…they will have been hidden!
also iphone, socks, etc.
socks??? LOL…
(Soda) Pop goes the Weasel!
I will need a 12 step program for this one.
i’m very impressed that (ferret aside) the cocktail recipe looks well-balanced (ie drinkable) and that you included bitters!
i’m less impressed that you missed an opportunity for a reference to FERRET BRANCA. (And btw if you substituted fernet for the ferret you’d really have a delicious, complex drink!)
Make mine a double.
Heffalumps and woozles.
I’m baffled that your ferret stayed still long enough for a picture.
LOOK AT ALL THOSE TOES!! XD
If you think she looks diapproving, you should see the disdainful looks her Mom can shoot at you. I guess it’s a family trait:)) It’s my fault for spoiling them!
Ohmahgawd.
I have 6 of these lil buggers and this is EXACTLY how I ended up with 6!!!!
I went into the store for gravel, walked out with a kit and no gravel!
