The vodka/red wine combo has undoubtedly been around for ages, though it wasn't widely practiced (in the US, at least) until jazz musicians of the 1950s popularized it. They called it wine-spidodi (they applied that name to other drinks as well). Before vodka became popular, they mixed the red with gin. The name Brutal Hammer was first used to describe the drink in 1993 in Avenging Angel, the first of the Jake Strait, Bogeyman books, by yours truly. It was a Hunter S. Thompson reference, from his oft-used phrase "brutal shit-hammer." It seemed appropriate.

I thought that for about a year. Then I decided to bite the bullet one crazy night. It's been love ever since.Lupus wrote:I bought ages ago, but will gladly spread the boozy love again.

Ditto. I couldn't determine if I was being put on. Then, one dark and stormy night, I followed the formula of seven ounces of vodka and five ounces of red wine. Tasty drink, but with an extraordinarily high f-you-up quotient. I cannot believe anyone could remain conscious to drink a second one.
You think you're just drinking a glass of wine...

I make mine small-- about 2 oz. wine to 2 oz. Mono. In a champagne flute. They're perfect. I've gotten up to four at a sitting. Usually with a white wine back.

I'm actually afraid to try a BH
since wine is alREADY my passport to blackout island in any amount (as well as the lesser known Vomit Penninsuala and the covetted stopover at Passout International Air.) and vodka causes me to gag from the smell, I'm actually afraid I'll try it and love it
because i KNOW it'd give me the worst hangover in the history of my hangovers. my two arch enemies in one glass...together...
can 2 wrongs possibly make an oh so right?

But, if you totally cannot stand vodka, it may not be for you. Although it doesn't exactly smell or taste of vodka in the wine.
You sure sound like my kinda guy though!!!
Where's MeanOldLady? She was thinking about trying her first Brutal Hammer this weekend. I did warn her to lock up her valuables and prepare a first aid kit.
Anybody who hasn't tried it, should. Even if you feel you don't want to risk wine, it's well worth the risk. Plus, I really want to hear virgin reports because, well it's funny. Brutal Hammers are a phone losing, bruise creating bullet train to Blackoutville.

your kinda guy is either permanently wearing the porcelien hat, or billigerently swearing at the Valet's in front of an upscale downtown hotel to get his god damn JagUar (i don't own a car. Actually, come to think, I'm not sure they were even Valet's....)

The first time I tried it was a Friday afternoon when the wife was out of town. Next thing I know I wake up 5 am Monday morning on the Floor with the TV blaring. I spent that Monday at work swollen and bruised, with drool coming down my mouth. My entire goal was to stay upright that day and keep my head from hitting the desk. Tuesday wasn't much better. Good times, good times.
