*"What about some vodka based drinks, like the vodka and tonic, the Cape Cod, the Screwdriver, and the Bloody Mary? Vodka...the breakfast of champions!"

"How the hell does a Screwdriver get on the list?"

"There's a difference between a great cocktail and a mixed drink. Screwdriver, Rum and Coke, Gin and Tonic, Whiskey Sour, Vodka cran, and most other two ingredient concoctions should be left out."*

Would you knuckleheads make up your minds??!!!

Billy's right. Dumping alcohol into a carrier is not a cocktail. That means the Cactus Cooler Volcano is out, among others.

So;

  1. Tom & Jerry (1820's)
  2. Mint Julep (1824)
  3. Sazerac (1859)
  4. Manhattan (1870's)
  5. Ramos Gin Fizz (1888)
  6. Daquiri (1905)
  7. Planters Punch (1908)
  8. Singapore Sling (1910)
  9. Martini (1910)
  10. Sidecar (1917)
  11. Zombie (1934)
  12. Bloody Mary (1939)
  13. Irish Coffee (1940's)

Mojito, Cosmopolitan, Caprainha, Moscow Mule, Rob Roy, Rusty Nail, etc. are all still on the block...
