This week I profile a new Chick with Drinks: Heather Snow. Heather describes herself as “Giggle maker, artist, foodie, former fattie, IT Pro, yogi, ski babe, gardener, instigator and judger. I wear lots of hats because I don’t want to do my hair.”
Heather Snow is a standup comic in Denver and can be regularly seen at Beauty Bar. You can follow her on twitter here or on her blog here.
Alright, making my parents proud…
What was your first cocktail?
- 15 years old, my high school buddy, Tiffany and I broke into her parent’s wine cellar and had two bottles of her dad’s homemade wine while her parents were at a wedding. Then they came home early… we got violently ill, and claimed that it was bad pizza. Needless to say, things didn’t end well, and my mom ended up having to come pick me up. I remember laying on the stairs by the foyer while my mom lectured us about being irresponsible and said, “How could two students on the HONOR ROLL behave this way?” I was forbidden to leave the house for about a month.
What is your drink of choice?
- Vodka Soda and lime or a glass of Red.
Where do you like to grab drinks?
- I typically don’t go places where there aren’t drinks unless you count Yoga and work.
How has your drinking tastes evolved over time?
- Well, from the days of Mad Dog and Jungle Juice, they’ve improved quite a lot. I’m not a fan of elaborate cocktails and bubbly drinks. I like to keep it simple, and very little fruit. Vodka, Scotch, Beer, Wine. That’s my menu. No tequila… there’s a reason that my tequila phase coincides with my naked phase. Now, I find myself pairing food and wine appropriately and keeping a stock on hand for whatever I might be cooking. And, grow Mojito mint for the girly girls who want to come over and have a refreshing minty beverage.
Do you ever drink whiskey?
- Yes, on the rocks, or in a shot glass or Jameson and ginger. I’m a huge Stranahan’s Fan, definitely my favorite. Plus, they sponsor Mile High Sci Fi, so I know that they take quality seriously. One of my favorite events is when I meet up with my Penn State buddies in Ocean City, Maryland every year for our annual beach trip and play poker and sip on Johnny Walker Blue. I also learned how to sign “Johnny Walker Blue”. (You know, just in case)
Why/Why not?
- It’s damn sexy.
Most women don’t drink whiskey, why do you think that is?
- I typically only hang out with women that’ll drink whiskey. Those other women are boring.
Any thing else you want to say about your boozing?
- Don’t drink and Drive. It’s expensive.
- Don’t drink and do Stand Up. No one wants to see a drunk comic. Unless you’re at The Squire.
If you’re a chick who drinks, drop me a line and I’ll feature you.
We are sooooooooo proud of her. Our little girl is all growsed up!
