Iron Drunk: Astonishing New Drink Recipe Super Challenge!

[Badfellow]

this might all go a lot easier if you can imagine the voice of William Shatner narrating this post

The challenge is simple:

You must devise an astonishing new drink recipe. There are no limits imposed upon your creativity. However, it must contain the highlighted ingredient mentioned for the challenge. Needless to say, your recipe should a pleasurable drink; we as a community frown in a rather aggressive manner toward wasted alcohol.

Moving on, then.

The ingredient for this challenge is no stranger to drunken cuisine. It is normally consumed on top of crackers or crispy bread while guzzling beer, or if you're Dutch you might throw a scoop of vanilla ice cream into the mix. Known throughout much of Europe and North America, one of the oldest brined fillets of the ocean...

The ingredient is: Pickled Herring. Repeat, pickled herring.

Good luck. The challenge starts now!

Holy fuck, pickled herring?

This will require a full weekend of research and development, but I believe I will be able to concoct something palatable. But seriously, pickled herring?

I will report back if I meet with success, but I'm naming this beastly drink after my dog.

Quite seriously. Pickled herring. It can be done, fellow mad scientist.

And I should add for our Drunkards at large, I would not ask you to do anything that I'm not willing to do myself.

Pickled herring...

Oh baby, I luvs the pickled herring. Costco used to sell these quart jars of the stuff for like $4-5 usd. At the regular grocery store a teeeny tiny jar with like 1/8 the stuff would cost almost $8! I figured I made back the annual fee right there.

My question is who or what will be the arbiter of what constitutes "New"?

Anyway, I am on it.

"New" is constantly rediscovered and oft forgotten.

Picked herring...

Two shots ice cold vodka _+ one piece of pickled herring.

Take one shot.
Eat herring.
Take additional shot.

Repeat until intoxicated or until you can no longer taste the herring.

I doubt my first incling is either astonishing or new.

North Atlantic
4 parts Gin
1 part Dry Vermouth
1 piece of pickled herring
1 olive (green or black)
1 tsp herring brine

place Gin, Vermouth and ice in a cocktail shaker. shake until cold. strain contents into cocktail glass. garnish with herring and olive on a toothpick. add 1 tsp of herring brine.

Tropical Fish
4 parts Dark Rum
1 part Sweet Vermouth
1 piece of pickled herring
1 lime wedge

place Rum, Vermouth and ice in a cocktail shaker. shake until cold. strain contents into cocktail glass. garnish with herring and wedge on a toothpick.

I don't have any pickled herring but I don't think either of these would be too bad.

This actually sounds quite good, hold the vermouth.

I'm going to work on something tonight that involves vodka, ale, tomato juice and cilantro, and the pickled herring.
