I feel sorry for a lot of people. I feel sorry for anyone who feels the need to watch Mullholland Drive more than once thinking they'll figure out anything. I feel even more sorry, though, for people who make a drink out of anything other than Gin, Bourbon, Ginger Ale and Lime Juice and call it a Suffering Bastard. It's not one. Berry might call it that. Trader Vic called a lot of things by names they weren't born with. Who the hell knows what Don woulda called this thing while Combing the beach? It is always a good idea (as good an idea as squeezing your own juice) to study the history of each drink and create it as correctly as possible. Otherwise you could just pour some Grain Alchohol into some Hawaiian Punch and call it a "Scorpion"!
