Sunday Seven - Episode #309
You’re at a social function and you decide you want to have
an alcoholic drink. Beer doesn’t seem “high class” enough for this
function, so you head to the bar for a mixed drink.
Can you name your seven favorite mixed drinks, liquors or spirits
that might be among the options you’d consider, assuming the bar is
fully stocked?
Here’s a sampling of mixed drink recipes if you need some help brainstorming. If you wish, you can list drinks you think
you’d like based on the description, and just add an asterisk to
indicate you haven’t actually tried it. That way, even those who choose
not to consume any alcohol at all can play along.
That’s the challenge for this week.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
Name your seven favorite mixed drinks, spirits or liquors.
I'm glad you put in the corollary that I can
asterisk a drink, because, as it happens, I don't drink - only at the
occasional wedding, to warm up. But here are seven drinks...
1. Fuzzy Navel (minus
vodka - I just like peach schnaps & orange juice)
2. Sex on the Beach*
3. Slow Easy Comfortable
Screw Up Against a Wall*
4. Mojito
5. Lava Flow*
6. Tequila Sunrise*
7. Piña Colada
Note: When I was 13 or so, my mother was in a car
accident and had to stop dancing (she was a go-o dancer until she was 40) and
decided to go to school to learn mixology. I picked up the names for No.s 2, 3
and 6 from that (they were incredibly easy to recall, such as they were).
When
I went to a list online, http://www.mixologyguide.com/, I found some names that
I would be reluctant to order just because of the "yuck" factor. Such
as (and this is embarrassing just to type) "c** in a hot tub",
"paralyzer", "screaming orgasm (San Francisco style)",
"Wiggle Worm, "slippery nipple", "jack off",
"skinny dip", "Robitussin" (ye gods, why? Yuck indeed. I
did look at the ingredients on that one, just to be sure that actual Robitussin
did not show up in it. It didn't, but still... who thinks of this?!),
"wild squirrel sex", "rail splitter", "original
sin", "Adios, Motherf***er" (again, why? Is it really necessary
to name a mixed drink something so volatile?), "naked twister" and
"salty balls". That was going through pages 1 - 10, out of about 80
or so pages (1500 mixed drinks... ye gods). I really would feel funny asking
for some of these drinks by name... and I'm not usually one to be offended or
feel funny about words, even less socially acceptable words.
I wonder what the shots would look like, but I am sure I am not ready to see that list!
