I would LOVE to have a drink named after me. You can use my nickname, “T-Creole,” if you don’t find the thought of ordering a “Chef Troy” interesting enough.
I like citrus-flavored vodkas and in general prefer white liquors to brown ones (except single-malt scotch).

How’d you know, Ukulele? I really like both gin and anisette.
Drink up, dear. I made it just for you.

The Canthearya
Well, since it’s so nice and warm up there and all…
2 oz Dark Rum
Juice of 1 Lime
1 tsp Sugar
2 dashes Bitters
Club Soda
Stir lime juice, bitters and sugar at the bottom of a collins glass until dissolved. Add ice and rum; fill with soda.
The zeenard
2 oz Vodka
1 oz Sambuca
Stir with ice in an old-fashioned glass. Garnish with a stick of black licorice.
The Chef Troy
*Are you kidding? Who could resist a “Chef Troy” ?
How about something refreshing, yet dry and refined, just the right thing before a serious meal in a warm climate?*
2 oz Gin
1 oz Grapefruit Juice
Dash Dry Vermouth
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
OK, now, I wasn’t going to jump in at first, but then I thought about what a cool idea it was. The reason I hesitated? I don’t drink. Never cared much for the taste of alcohol. Now, I have had four alcoholic beverages in my life, but they barely pass as such: A B&J black cherry wine cooler; a Thrilla Vanilla Coke (made with Coca-Cola and Thrilla Vanilla, a vanilla liqueur); a Drunken Shirley Temple (Cherry Pucker, a cherry liqueur, and 7-Up); and Antonio’s Love Potion No. 9½ (heretofore unduplicatable). So why did I drink these? I either could not taste the alcohol, or didn’t mind the taste of the alcohol.
Now, with all due respect, please don’t attempt to concoct a special alcoholic beverage for me and claim I won’t be able to taste the alcohol - many have tried, and only the above have succeeded, so, although I’m sure you know your art and abilities, I really don’t think it would work. Instead, I’m going to challenge you to make me a non-alcoholic specialty drink and name it after me. (Of course, if alcohol really is your life, go ahead and make me an alcoholic one, and I’ll just serve it to my friends. Better yet, do both. ;))
So whatcha think?
Esprix
Evidently, I rock.
Ask the Gay Guy!
No problem, amigo. While you’re waiting, why not enjoy a delicious neuro-trash grrrl, a tempting red dragon, or an…er…invigorating Summer Eve?
The Esprix
3 oz Cranberry Juice
3 oz Varietal Grape Juice (you know, that non-alcoholic wine they sell at the health-food stores…Chenin Blanc, etc.)
Club Soda
Pour juices over ice in a highball glass. Top with soda and garnish with lime wedge.
Thanks Uke! Now I am the only one on my block with a drink named after me! You helped me a lot! And with around 80 recipies o’ cocktails, I’ll have a nice amount to sip on when I’m old enough to!
It sounds sophisticated Uke. When will you be trying all of these concoctions?
Oh, I have a powerful imagaination, Nen.
I know what Cognac tastes like, and I know what lemon juice tastes like, and I have a pretty good idea of what a Nen would taste like if I mixed one up. Or an Arnold Winkelreid, say, or a SwimmingRiddles No. 2.
Even though Eve has accused me via private e-mail of spending the afternoon with a bartenders’ guide and a handful of darts, I think I can vouch for pretty much everything I’ve bestowed on you guys…
I’ll take a cocktail named after me.
Thanks, most honorable Ike! Mighty tasty! Looks like I’ll have to polish my reputation and switch from the Colt 45 King Kans…
I’d love to make a monster!
Now if I only knew what was in it…
Uke, I thank you kindly. Since I happened to have a fine bottle of rum in the cabinet I can now say:
yo ho ho
The best lack all conviction
The worst are full of passionate intensity.

Wow Uke, you are the best! I now have a drink recipe named after me, and it’s enough to serve 40 people!
Instant coffee? Cola? Maple Syrup? That sounds… interesting. I think I’m just going to saunter into my friendly neighborhood coffeeshop tonight and order a neuro-trash grrrl. “What do you mean you’ve never heard of it? It’s all the rage in New York…”
Here lies Pierre de Fermat. Unfortunately, there is not enough room on this tombstone for a proper epitaph.
oh please… I need something to keep me from despairing at all the books I can’t buy… sigh
(what did Brigid O’Shaunessy drink?)
Wow. Thanks Uke! Not sure how lime and Creme de Menthe would taste together, but I’m more than willing to give it a try.
