Mayhap this belongs in IMHO, but it’s beverage related so I’ll stick it here.
As the title suggests, what I want to know is: What is the best drink name ever? Provide a recipe, if you know it. It doesn’t have to be alcoholic, although that always helps. My mother used to teach bar for the Hospitality and Tourism program and she knows how to make many wacky drinks, but the following is my personal favorite:
Slow Comfortable Screw. 1/2 oz. Southern Comfort, 1 oz. Sloe gin, orange juice.
Pour Sloe gin and Southern Comfort into a Collins glass filled with ice. Fill with orange juice, stir well, and serve.
I present to you:
** The Wiki Wacky Woo **
1/2 oz. Vodka
1/2 oz. Rum
1/2 oz. Bacardi 151-proof Rum
1/2 oz. Tequila
1/2 oz. Triple Sec
1 oz. Amaretto
1 oz. Orange Juice
1 oz. Pineapple Juice
1 oz. Cranberry Juice
and a straw filled with 151 if you really want a kick to it
The best (but far from wackiest) name has gotta be the Rusty Nail (Three parts scotch to one part Drambuie). The most incoprehensible is the Groupie Special, Chivas and Coke. A terrible thing to do to Chivas. A big favorit of John Lennon’s, I’m told.
Jamaican Screwdriver: dark rum and orange juice. Better than vodka / OJ, really.
Pilgrim’s Vodgress: pure unsweetened cranberry juice and vodka. Oh my. Or if you’re young or young at heart and liver and wanna get way inebriated way fast, pure cranberry juice and Everclear, in the freezer until it’s the consistency of Karo syrup. Whoa.
Silly but not too bad:
**SentiMintal Julep: Bourbon liqueur (hi-shelf = Wild Turkey; lo-shelf = South Comfort) substituted for bourbon in traditional mint julep recipe: crush mint leaves and sugar at rim of glass, freeze, insert liquor.
I’ve always impressed artsy folks and film nerds with my own invention, the Vanilla Skyy: just Vanilla Coke mixed with Skyy vodka (from that pretty blue bottle).
