Best drink name ever (poll)

I always thought “Pousse Cafe” was a great name for a combination bar/whorehouse (pouse pronounced “pussy”)

[QUOTE=mrklutz]

I mean, how do you not like a drink whose name derives from “water of life”?

You could say the same for akvavit and vodka.

Any drink based on a lyric to Gus Kahn’s “Ukulele Lady” is okay by me…

And here I thought it was “Nagasaki” (“…where the fellas chew tobaccy, and the women wicky-wacky-woo”), but it turns out “Ukulele Lady” predates that one by three years.

My boyfriend’s invention, we call it the “Pool Boy”:

Malibu Rum
Guanabana juice
tonic water
grenadine
lime wedge

Serve it in a large margarita glass. Not too alcoholic so you can drink it all day.

We originally called it “The Cabana Boy” as that was his nickname for a while, but then my friend gave me these cocktail napkins with the quote “Oh Pool Boy! I’ll have another!” and so the drink was named.

It’s called the Flaming Moe.
Fire makes it good.

Not to offend anyone, but I believe that’s called an “Irish” Car Bonb

Yeah, I agree(d) :wink:

Buffalo Wing
1 1/2 ounce Buffalo Trace Bourbon
1 1/2 ounce Old Crow Bourbon
5 ounces Vernor’s Ginger Ale
5 drops Cholula hot sauce

A shot of ranch dressing may be served on the side, for the timid.

Palindrome
RC & CR. That is,
5 ounces Royal Crown (cola)
3 ounces Crown Royal whiskey

Snowmobile
2 ounces vodka (the bottle’s been kept in the freezer)
2 1/2 ounces peppermint schnapps
1 ounce Malibu coconut rum

Serve in a frosted glass, drink with mittens. (Or is it kittens? I can’t remember.)

Akvavit and vodka? Why, you’re talking about a

Baltic Crackdown

1/2 jigger akvavit
1 1/2 jigger Stolichnaya

In a lowball glass, pour the overmanned akvavit defender over cracked ice. Overwhelm with the large force of well-trained and vastly better-equipped Russian vodka. Garnish with a short length of barbed wire.

Pile Driver
50/50 mix of Everclear and prune juice. I thought it up, but haven’t tried it.

“diet Coke”

chill bottole of diet Coke to lower than 40degrees farenheit.
pour into a tall glass filled with ice.
serve.

what?..
So?..I don’t drink alcohol!

If you serve it prohibition-style without the booze it becomes a

I think you win!

The guys who lived across from me in college in the 80s used to have themed drinking parties (I fondly recall the “Whiskey Sour Power Hour”).

Once they had a party based around the Toxic Waste:

Vodka
Chocolate Milk

I mentioned this to a friend, who replied with a similar concoction they’d heard of:

The Chernobyl
Vodka
Diet Strawberry Yoo Hoo

The official drink of my college comedy troupe was the Green Stinky:
Pour a shot of Vodka into a glass
Fill most of the rest of the glass with Ginger Ale
Add enough Midori to match the color of a peridot gem

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the Mind Eraser. Fill a highball glass or white wine glass with ice, then mix:

1/3 vodka
1/3 Kahlua
1/3 7-Up

Stick a couple straws in, and suck 'til it’s gone. The liquids will layer and the different flavors will keep cycling back, in order. A couple of these and it will have done its job.

This is positively brilliant!

Why didn’t we think of it before?

It’s so moronic it has to work!

I think I just may have to try this, it sounds wunderbar.

The Village Idiot

Gin and Tonic with a splash of Dewar’s

So named because the idiot bartender at an establishment name Village Bistro accidentally poured part of the Dewar’s intended for my husband’s glass into my gin and tonic.

I drank it anyway and decided that it was pretty good. Of course I was drunk at the time which probably makes me the idiot. :smiley:

I was introduced to this drink as the PorchClimber, but had mixed it at a friends house and was informed by her father that he had heard it called a Strip and Go Naked. This recipe makes a pitcher of summertime goodness…until the next morning.

1 can frozen pink lemonade
1 can vodka (although I think gin might be better)
1 can water
2 bottles of beer
Gently stir the above in a pitcher and enjoy immediately (the mix won’t save overnight).
Caution - This stuff sneaks up on you.

Cheap Screw

Discount vodka mixed with Sunny D.

[QUOTE=Harbinger of Courteous Debate]
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.

As a follow-up, or addition if you prefer, to the above I present you with the…

Slow Comfortable Screw Up Against the Wall In the Dark Side of Mexico City

Sloe gin, southern comfort, vodka, orange juice, galliano, dark rum and tequila with a splash of cola. I prefer the above in roughly equal parts.

I can’t seem to find a recipe for it, but Shakespeare’s Pub & Billiards in Denver serves a drink called the Fuck Me Silly. I can’t remember much of it (it was towards the end of the evening), but I know there was pineapple juice in it, and it was very tasty.
