I was in a liquor store in Sunnyvale on Saturday and found a bunch of old stock drink mixers still on their shelf. I bought some Tiki related ones for Christmas gifts, but I also but a product made by Mr and Mrs "T" because I liked the name. I just read the back label a moment ago and got disgusted! I think I have discovered the most DISGUSTING bottled coctail mix in existence!!! Beef flavor, indeed!!! |

This sounds like the perfect eye-opener when I wake up on Sunday morning with a mount rushmore hangover. I would serve it with a blood rare T-bone steak, sauted mushrooms & two soft poched eggs. |

The BULLSHOT is the signature drink at one of Detroits' power lunch restaurants (can't remember which one at the moment) Apparantly, many an automotive deal has been inked while getting sloshed on cow squeezin's. -Z |

Could it be the Rattlesnake Club or Carl's Chophouse? Maybe this drink has something to do with the condition of the auto industry in Detroit. |

Yeah, that's a great place. I ate there at 1 am, and it was as crowded inside as any other restaurant would be at 7 pm. |

Yes, Clamato sounds awful, but as those who have had a Caesar before will attest, it's damn tasty! Caesars are very commonplace here on the Canadian Prairies. I was surprised when my cousin from California told me he never had a caesar before. Legend has it that they were created here in Calgary at Caesar's Steakhouse. My wahine loves 'em. Caesar
Directions/Comments: Wet the rim of your glass with water. Put salt all around the rim (sticks to the water). Mix the tabasco, worcestershire, clamato juice, and vodka together in the glass. stir, and throw in a straw and a celery stalk. There ya go, a great drink. Virgin Caesars are great, too! Seriously. I do enjoy these drinks. -Slacks [ Edited by: Slacks Ferret on 2003-12-08 18:02 ] |

Actually that sounds like a damn good drink. One small problem: ONE OUNCE of vodka?!?? What the hell is that all about? You'd be waterlogged with clam juice before you got a decent buzz on. I need two to open. |

We just call it Tomato Beer around here. And it's great for hangovers. I actually like it. Use a flimsy lager like Bud. |

Slightly OT: I just had my first Jones Turkey & Gravy Soda. It's predictably nasty. Maybe the other bottle will go on ebay. (it's selling for around $25!) Tastes like salted caramel soda. |

Traderpup, I found out about Tom Boy as the Arizona Sunrise. I'm sure it has other names too, but it's not bad. |

I've got a full (unopened) 2-liter bottle of tarragon soda that was leftover from Iuka Grogg & MMML's going away party. |

Well, I've been collecting old bartending books for awhile now, and it seems that the "savory" cocktail was much more common than I'd have guessed in my early days of mixology. The whole using beef broth thing claims quite a few recipes in some of my older manuals. I've seen chicken stock versions as well. I guess mixing savories is much like the popularity of egg whites in classic cocktails, people just don't do it often anymore. The Bloody Mary and Maria seem to be the only true survivors of the faded trend. Perhaps I'll look through some books and see what I can find that might be a worthy candidate into the "weird savory cocktails" file. Still though...tarragon soda?? Ahu |

Addendum: Tarragon soda might work with Akvavit for a fizz of some sort. Maybe with a little lemon. I dunno. I've made a basil mojito before just for grins that got favorable reviews. Who knows? Ahu |

The other day my kids made me buy a box of "Harry Potter" jelly beans, they are called "Bertie Botts Everyflavor Beans" half the flavors are nice like "pineapple" or "tutti fruitti". It is like a game of russian roulette in a box the other beans are flavors like "soap","ear wax" and "vomit". My daughter ate one made a face and spit it out and said "how gross, this tastes just like soap" then she ate another one. If your Camel's Ass soda had a Harry Potter logo on it my kids would buy it. |
