Might want to devise something a bit less potent, better for repeat sales. Keep this one in your back pocket for the patrons that are getting obnoxious and need a little motivation to “Find the Door.”
Still as far as “bragging rights” go it might be a winner!
Leo… good idea. This one would be a humdinger. As Judy said upon reading this, and quoting some Dr. Demento: You’re sure to leave with “yer head…
tucked… underneath (yer) arm”…
Chug… certainly there’s grenadine in there, for color… and a clear British sort of alcohol… sooooo… Beefeater 24 Gin (ha ha!!!), grenadine, and an earl grey teabag… Let me know what you think.
Not entirely terrible actually. Kinda gotta let the tea infuse the drink well in advance before mixing. Then again, my taste buds have been roasted drinking moonshine for years, so….. take from that what you will!
Jenn… moonshine? well, then. I ruined my early drinking years with rum and coke. I am happy to report that I’m much more refined (ha ha)… with ports, absinthe, and, well, the list is rather long.
Judy… I found a similar drink that uses tea on a website called Oh, Gosh! An adult beverage site. I figured the bartender in charge knew what he was doing.
My uncle served in the Far East during WW2 and somewhere along the way picked up the recipe for a drink called a Bangkok Kicker. I don’t know that I ever heard what all was in it but it involved freshly brewed tea. He taught it to my dad, and he used to play Stump the Bartender with it.
Bridgett, Thanks sincerely for putting me in your comic! It means a lot to me.
Try Frangelico and Chambord liquor mixed. I call it a penut butter and jelly sandwitch. it’s quite tasty!
The whiskey that was made in the Old West often contained such ingredients as: Turpentine, chewing tobacco, gunpowder, and scorpion or rattlesnake venom. The mixture had to be diluted with water by a ratio of 10:1 or even 20:1. Not only did the dilution make the whiskey more palatable, it was less likely to kill you AND it killed the germs in the water. (Before it killed the brain cells in your head.)
uwg… tea is much more revered around the world than in this country…. something about a tea party in the bay years ago… I like the name… Bangkok Kicker. There’s the Moscow Mule, which is popular now… but no tea.
Rich… J’adore absinthe. I found an old absinthe spoon in a Paris market… and I have some rather new versions. Currently, I have tried a number of different absinthe varieties… and make it a point of seeking it out, especially when I am in France.
squid… you are most welcome. But I must tell you. I had a PB&J flavored vodka once, it was the brand with Van Gogh on the label… never again! It was horrible and from now on, no alcohol tasting like PBJ! (I just threw up a little in my mouth)… sorry.
Pete… Absinthe has a similar story. When it first became the rage, all kinds of pop up companies started to produce it… cheaply. They added all kinds of unsavory ingredients! No wonder people died and saw crazy visions and were driven insane! It’s much better now.
Ep… yes, we like it when we learn something in the comments! Thanks, Pete!… or should I say, Whiskey Pete?

Can’t wait to see the effects!
so what’s in it?

I throughly approve of the gin and grenadine….but I will hold my opinion of the Earl Grey addition until scientific curiosity has been satisfied.

You like absinthe? I’ve got glasses, spoon, the whole works…

Nice tid bid of history, thank you Pete
