Brass Monkey, That Funky Monkey
Even though Mike D recently came out and broke all our hearts, any writer knows you don't let a false narrative stop a good story. In that spirit, this dispatch from Casa de Trash Life covers the Olde English and orange juice version of a Brass Monkey.
I've drank a lot of gross things in the name of looking stupid on the internet, but this was definitely the most surprising. I was sure it would be gross. My friends were sure it would be gross. Hell, pretty sure even the dogs were side eyeing me.
Full of dread (existential and otherwise) I purchased the ingredients. After popping the OE in the freezer for a few hours, I sat down and began to drink. As is tradition, once down to the top of the label, I poured in the orange juice while questioning everything that led me to this moment.
And then…..I took a swig. SHIT WAS FUCKING DELICIOUS, Y'ALL!!! Crying tears of relief, I quietly thanked The Beastie Boys for letting this misconception stand long enough to pass into popular culture.
