Bold new cocktails

Post by **Modern Drunkard** » Sat Apr 21, 2007 12:02 am

One the greatest things about being drunk is you're willing to take chances. Experiment. The imagination and palate are unhinged and less prejudiced.

I am presently about to mix Absinthe(4 parts) , dry vermouth (1 part), the intern's Sugar Free Red Bull (2 parts) and a dash of sugar.

If reasonably successful, we'll figure out a name for it.

If you've dubious ingredients at hand, please, join in. We may discover the next LIT, for crissakes.

Is the Sugar Free Red Bull as sweet as regular Red Bull? I would think the sweetness of it would counteract the bitterness of the Absinthe considerably, while the vermouth gave it that little something extra to change the entire nature of the beast.

some friends and i did a similar experiement on a weekly to bi-weekly basis, and it was dubbed the "brother bowl" for one reason or another...some of the ingredients that i remember included vodka, rum, gin, cactus jack tequila liqueur (an abomination that should never be touched...), whiskey, grape soda, various juices, skittles, grape jelly, pepto-bismol and probably blood...i miss having that access to ingredients...

Weeeeeeeeeeelllll, it's not bad. You're right, the RB and the sugar managed to mask the bitter. The black liquorish taste is a shadow. Muddled though, which is always a bad sign. Cocktails should sing, not mumble. Like playing the Sex Pistols and Hootie and Blowfish at the same time. And. what's more, that acrid back taste -- that's the doomsong of all bad cocktails.

It's a wash.

but so is stepping out that front door everyday...if i can (probably wrongly) quote from the lord of the rings...once i have a job, then a bottle of absinthe will be one of the first things i buy...

Tell me about it. I had a dream last night when I was in a liquor store shopping for it and it all cost like two hundred bucks a bottle.

But then there was a part where I was shooting down German zepplins in a biplane and I guess that made up for it.

Mostly.

Damned hospitable of you to put a tag the beast, but that abonimation is going to the grave without a name.

But let's shed yesterdays failures, shall we? New bull in the chute. Absinthe (five parts), Fernet Branca (2 parts), Dr Peper Berries and Cream (1 Part).

It's like betting on a plough horse at the Derby, but its still fun to see it tear the fuck out of the track.

WOW. Where's that cutesy shock-eyes emoticon when you need it? This is one scary-sounding concoction.
