Ah, so its a 1920s Style "Death Drink"

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Sorry about the title, I couldn’t resist :smiley:

So I was pursuing my normal research at the laboratory/bar this weekend and decided to try some of the drink possiblities in the Scalar Weapons thread. Sadly, my tastebuds were completely ruined after the first trial, that subsequent tests were decidedly unappetizing.

The formula went thusly:

(1) Gin and Tonic for the 1920s Style
(1) shot of Tequila for the Ray
and (1) Large squirt of Tabasco sauce for the Death part

Hypothesis: This drink combination might prove to be a new and exciting drink sensation

Procedure: Drink, Retch, Repeat if insane.

Conclusion: I think this is the first time I’ve ever been unable to finish a drink. A caution to anyone else attempting this combination… For the love of G-d and all that is Holy, be careful!

Analysis: Next time I will omit the Tabasco sauce as it really is Death. Also perhaps the addition of some authentic Russian vodka to honor Nikolai Tesla would work. We shall see.

Next Installment: An idea for a “Jump the Shark” drink and some thoughts on a Burning The Dog drink

Teegus, Sacrificing his tastebuds and liver for the advancement of science :wally

I salute you.

I had done a variation of this experiment as a shot and posted the results when I got home later that evening. I double posted, as I recall. I never did follow up on the after effects the next morning. But I can say that I did fell as if I had been run over by a tank mounted 1920’s style “Death Ray.”

Let me see if I can dig up the post…

But I see from re-reading your post, that you may have seen it.

Indeed I was inspired by the posting in the original thread. This was merely the first such opportunity for “research”

Anyhoo… next time, I think I’ll have to try a triple. Gin, tequila, and vodka in tonic. :dubious:

Next time you go to a bar ask for a tall glass of Fucko Off:

1 shot spiced rum
2 shots apple Pucker
Top off in a highball glass with cranberry juice and ice.

Happy

Thos is the first 1920’s style death-drink

Monkey Mule I kinda went by your formula. Maybe we should try it with Kahlua…:dubious:

Incidentally, I was down at the bar… I mean laboratory… this evening and had a chat with the barten - I mean lab assistant, that helped me with my experiment and she agreed that the formula that we tried was not quite it, although it did have the desired effect.

More experimentation is required.

Someone once told me about something all the kids used to drink in the 20s. Or was it the 30s or 50s? Anyway, it was called a cow float. According to her, a cow float was made by combining Pepsi and milk :eek:. Probably not as deadly as your concotion, but still pretty hellish.

10

I thought it was made popular in the 70s, in a small Milwaukee apartment, by a woman named Laverne.
Sclemeel, schlmozzle,

I enjoy a cowfloat now and then. It’s a rather unique combination of flavor and texture.

When I worked in a student bar we invented something called “For Fuck’s Sake” which was blackcurrant Hooch (a vodka based alco-pop), dark rum, cherry brandy and probably some other drinks as well.

I unleshed Green Death upon the collegiate population of the North Bronx and West Philadelphia to devastating success.

Take a pint glass.

Fill it halfway to the top with Vodka.
Then you make the glass 3/4 full by adding Blue Curacao.
Then you fill the glass almost to the top with OJ. (now you have the nice green color)
Top off with tap beer (yes, tap beer).

If made right, it tastes like fruit punch and hits like a 1920’s-style “Death Ray.”

(perhaps I will rename my drink)

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Post back here and tell me what you think (or even if you can after 2 or 3 of them).

14

Oh, I forgot. You shake it with ice. It’s much better cold.

15

Hey be nice, What the hell else was I going to use for “Death”? :wink:

16

“Green Death” in my experience is snakebite and curaçao. It’s not advised.

A Cow Float

1.Put a cow in a very large glass.
2.Add 100 gallons of ice cream.
3.Pour in root beer until you make the cow float.

After some serious thought and research this week, I believe I’ve come up with a ‘Jump the Shark’ cocktail.

Its similar to one where you put a shot in a glass of OJ. Unfortunately I’ve forgotten the name of that particular drink but it was quite good.

Anyways, The recipe is as thus so far…

  1. Fill one 1 oz. shot glass 3/4 full with white chocolate liquer.
  2. Top with whip cream
  3. Fill cocktail glass 3/4 with sprite and 1 oz blue curacao and ice if desired.
  4. Place shot glass in center of cocktail glass.
  5. Top shot with whip cream and a chocolate triangle fin (optional)
  6. Swirl grenadine in cocktail glass for blood effect (optional)
  7. Drink (necessary)

I think it’ll be good, but obviously experimentation is needed.

Any Dopers care to help in the ‘experiment’ phase? :wink:

Here was me thinking this would turn out to be another absinthe thread.

Worst drink I ever finished was on a rugby bus trip.

1 part dark rum, 2 parts bitter lemon, no ice.

That was the last drink the coach got to call for the season.
