The Girl Scout Cookie is one of the numerous liquid confections that attempt to simulate a favorite foodstuff. When the Black Russian entered the bar scene, some stalwart traditionalists protested, “They’ve gone about as far as they can go!” The Girl Scout Cookie and the dozens of other cookie, cake, and candy variants would have them spinning in their graves. The Girl Scout Cookie affirms that there is a new generation of bar-hopping adventurers who want to have it their way. If only Troop 42 could get a cut of the bar profits!

sound good!
Curious as to why it is a chocolate cake if the creme de cacao is left out. Shouldn't it just be a 'nutjob" or something like that?
Frangelico does a very good job of tasting like chocolate cake when paired with vodka. An excellent example is a chocolate cake shooter... equal parts of Frangelico and citron vodka. Sugar a lemon wedge, then bite the lemon and drink the shot. By some weird twist, it ends up tasting almost exactly like chocolate cake. I wish I could explain.
What is Frangelico, pardon my ignorance?
Frangelico is a hazelnut liqueur from northern Italy.
I agree with JK, although I used Absolut Vanilia, and we called it a Tootsie Roll...made for one fun Christmas Eve! I've had the same shot without the sugared lemon wedge, called choclate cake, too. cheers!
