As I have alluded to before, Rachel Maddow is an amateur mixologist, specializing in period cocktails. She was on Jimmy Fallon last night mixing up a Bijou.
There is also a great clip following of Jimmy attempting to numerous promo spots after having a few large gulps of the cocktail!

Rachel Maddow is without a doubt my favorite TV personality. The Rachel Maddow Show airs at 9:00 pm EST on MSNBC. If you don’t have access to MSNBC you can watch clips on her website or subscribe to the video podcast from iTunes for free.
To get a sense of her wit and ability to find fun quirky stuff check out this video. It is a real-time recreation of the splash down in the Hudson river that occurred in February 2009.
Rachel is a Rhodes Scholar with a Ph. D. from Oxford. Her interviewing style is hard-hitting but her show tries to see some humour behind the stories. My favorite segment is “Scrub, rinse, repeat” where she discusses the problems that President Barack Obama still has to deal with from the Bush administration.
Another very endearing quality of Rachel is that she is an ardent mixologist with a preference for classic cocktails. The more I find out about her, the more I like her.
