We were going to do a Cinco de Mayo Drink, but felt this would be more appropriate today.  There are a number of drinks named the Brass Monkey.  We think the Beastie Boys would have been drinking this  recipe, equal parts mart liquor and orange juice. Not for the faint of heart.

We like the variation below too.
