The Delta Lady


This is my variation of a Southern Manhattan. I've named it after a Paddle steamer that gave sightseeing tours in my hometown and that my grandfather worked on. Since I'm such a purist when it comes to Manhattans, there's nothing "molecular" about this recipe.

The Bazooka


So, during the discussion about my t-Virus shot last week on Reddit, the person from Candy Booze indirectly gave me a genius idea: Dissolving Pez. I love Pez. As a kid, my brother had hundreds of Pez dispensers; and my other brother and I once made a stop-motion movie called "Night of the Living Pez," complete with dispensers being blown up with firecrackers and a Pez Dispenser domino-effect finale that took about 50 tries to get right. Sadly, that footage is lost forever. Anyway, this shot is for you, Pez.

Pineapple Upside-down Cake


I can't take credit for this. The folks where I used to work at the Brass Rail came up with this drink, and it quickly became a staple. I'm including it here because it is delicious. Below are two versions: the shot and the drink.

Ecto Cooler



Prepare to get drunk with 90's kid nostalgia. This is was one of my top secret recipes.

The t-Virus



After I got a positive reaction posting this on Reddit, I decided to make a blog for crazy drinks I come up with. As a huge fan of video games, the zombie genre, and alcohol, I wanted to make a drink based on the walking dead. I thought the t-Virus vial from Resident Evil would be great to mimic. There were some others I had seen in the past, using licorice in place of the iconic double helix. For making a quick version of a t-Virus shot, I definitely recommend going this direction. However, I wanted mine to be made entirely of alcohol.
