A few weeks ago, I went to the Columbus Arts Festival with my mom and sisters. It was an extremely sunny and hot day, and we were sweating like crazy. We decided to go in someplace to grab a drink and cool down, so we headed to the Surly Girl Saloon. Surly Girl has a great beer selection, so that's usually what I have. I'm not much into cocktails and usually don't order them because I prefer to have something less strong that I can sip more frequently. But on this occasion my mom ordered a drink called the "Dr. Feelgood" and I'm so glad she did because she let me taste it and it was fantastic. It was pretty simple: the menu said it was vanilla vodka and Diet Dr. Pepper.
I decided to try to recreate it at home, so I bought those two ingredients. I have found a combination that works for me: fill a pint glass about 2/3 full with ice cubes, pour in about 1 and 3/4 shots of vanilla vodka, fill the rest of the glass with Diet Dr. Pepper, and top it off with a maraschino cherry and a bit of cherry juice. It actually tastes even better when Jason makes it, although I haven't figured that out because he does it exactly the same as me as far as I can tell. I think my mom has tried to recreate this drink at her house as well so I'll have to find out what her recipe has been.

About Me
- My name is Heather.
- I love to cook and bake. My style in the kitchen is definitely "recipe follower." As much as I would love to be able to just whip up a new concoction from ingredients on hand, or taste a simmering sauce and think "hmm, needs more oregano," that's just not me. Therefore I appreciate a good recipe and love finding them online and in cookbooks. I don't always cook the most health-conscious recipes, but I believe in eating whatever you want as long as it is in moderation. I also have a picky husband whose chances for disliking a recipe seem to be directly proportional to the number of ingredients used, so I won't be cooking any elaborate gourmet meals.
