As inspired by Steve Weeks, DDS: Bike Winter drink menu?

I just had an ooh-ooh-ooh moment when Steve Weeks responded to Dr. Mambohead on another thread that "Frozen Balaclava" sounded like a mixed drink.

So if there were ever a Bike Winter bar event with custom drinks, what would they be?

Let's start with the Frozen Balaclava. I'm getting something like a Rumpfleminz and cream Daquiri....

Perhaps it's because of my own personal brand of funk, but my frozen balaclava makes me think of gin, bitters and Zwack Unicum. Although, I think your minty concoction sounds a lot tastier.

And in honor of this mornings ride: the windburned sweatsicle. Orange Julius, vodka, Campari served margarita style with salt.

Unicum? I'm afraid to ask...

Here's our official first entry:

The Windburned Sweatsicle (yay):

Orange Julius, vodka, Campari served margarita style with salt.

So, inspired by this discussion (with myself), I put some ice in a blender, poured in about 1/8 of a bottle of Rumpfleminz (I told myself that bottle would last months when I popped for it but apparently I lied), a bit of half and half (had to be leave enough for coffee tomorrow....) and mixed it up.  Not horrible but not great.

Kept thinking a little chocolate something might be missing, but Chocolate doesn't last around here... then I added a heaping teaspoon of hot chocolate mix and blended it up, and it works.

So I'm going to put the following bike winter drink apertif forward for assignment of a fitting name (doesn't have to be the balaclava):

1/4 blender of ice

4 oz Rumpfleminz

Heaping teaspoon hot chocolate mix powder

Blend

Howard : I'll check around but it's OK - we still love you.  A few people here have had a little too much to drink from time to time

Unicum is this Hungarian herbal alcohol. Take a swig for breakfast and feel a fire in the belly. No really. It's insane. When you get older and need something more mellow, they say Jaegermeister.

OK, OK, I forgot to add the half and half to the recipe, I know! .... I'm sorry you had to witness that.

"The Dearborn PBL":

  • 2 oz. Peach Schnapps
  • 1 oz. Vodka
  • Martini Olives
  • Several Big Chunks of Ice
  • Gummy Bears (peds)
  • Matchbox car
  • Thick crust of salt on one side of rim (to be avoided)

This drink needs to look really interesting, but everyone who tries it needs to say "it needs improvement".

Brilliant! Almost sounds drinkable--like the Dearborn lane is almost ridable ;-)

The Mars Light

one and one half shots of Makers Mark with all the alcohol

splash of Baileys

2 oz of blue Listerine

handful of blueberries

This drink should be served in a 24 oz beer glass and should be set in front of somebody else's drink.
