I like those. Nrver knew that they were called Icebergs, though. I was introduced to them by a mad Finn, who then proceeded to eat all the lit cigarettes in the ashtray, his glass and a sparking firework (it was that kind of evening).

The Finns scare me, they can drink more than anyone I've ever met :shock:

Finns are closely related to Hungarians.

More boaty-related cocktails would be appreicated.

I think the last one is probably the most appropriate.

This is one that a friend and I came up with, many years ago, on a trip to France (I think, but it may have been the Netherlands, so don't sue).

The Cross Channel Ferry

In a pint glass, pour:

25ml Creme de Menthe
100ml Tomato juice
50ml Advocaat
1 egg white
25ml Baileys
25ml Tequila (for that authentic taste)
Top to fill with stale, flat lager and garnish with a vegetable salad (bits of sweetcorn, peas, carrot chunks, cigarette butts, coffee grounds etc.).
