Thank Heaven for Little Girls(scout cookies)

Yesterday I gave in to the aggressive sales pitch of a pack of green-frocked bullies and purchased five boxes of cookies.  Last night I made one of my favorite desserts, Dirty Drunken Girl Scouts.

Here's the basic recipe:

Two girl scout cookies
Small slice of ice cream, the same diameter as the cookie
Make a sandwich

Repeat with different cookie flavors until you have enough (generally two to three per person)

Place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for at least one hour

For serving, place piping hot water in a small bowl.
Pour a shot of your favorite after dinner spirit in a glass
Place glass in bowl of hot water

Serve the shot and the cookies

Eat a cookie sandwich with your hands
Sip the shot
Use the warm water in the bowl to clean the melted ice cream and cookie crumbs off of your fingers
Repeat

Variations:
> Dirty Drunken French Girl Scout (use cognac)
> Dirty Drunken Gascon Girl Scout (armagnac)
> Dirty Drunken White Trash Girl Scout (bourbon)
> Dirty Drunken Puerto Rican Girl Scout (aged puerto rican rum)
> Dirty Drunken Mexican Girl Scout (aged tequila)
> Dirty Drunken Oaxacan Girl Scout (aged mezcal)
> Dirty Drunken Italian Girl Scout (grappa)
> Dirty Drunken Russian Girl Scout (vodka)
> Dirty Drunken Irish Girl Scout (irish whiskey)
(you get the idea)
