broke and hung over...that IS douchebaggery

The link has Carmen Electra slamming back one of these tasty beverages. Does anyone realize that one could probably get Carmen Electra for less than the cost of the @#(&ing drink?

Here's $952.00; keep the change, baby. And, if you play it right, there's another $1.00 in it for you (wink).

Here's the trouble: knock it back too fast and you spend the next day shitting into a sieve trying to make up for your losses.

Does sound like a tasty drink though.

You must be kidding. It sounds like they tossed shit together randomly, and kept adding more shit until the resulting muddle filled a glass. Then they tossed in a splash of Dom just to give it that "douchebag" kick.

A drink that has more than three ingredients wanders into douchebag territory. A Manhattan is just about the limit. If it's got more, it had better come frozen, with an umbrella, in half a coconut, and a woman with giant tits had better be drinking it in a chaise lounge.

Look at what the douchbags have done to the martini. If you are ever at a party, and the host offers you an "appletini", you should kick them directly in the balls.

The first was to an out-of-town businessman who quietly ordered it for the woman sitting with him at a table.

Ordering a $950 drink when a productive Chicago hooker will run you about $100, now thats douchebaggery.

That's a $7.50 cocktail Ace.

I've gotta go with rho on this one... the recipe sounds like what they make Witches Brew out of at Halloween... throw a bunch of shit that's been sitting open on the back bar for three years into a bowl and drop some dry ice into it... I wonder when the first death by strangulation by foreign object in my fucking drink lawsuit will hit... what a fucking bunch of pretenders...

rho

I accept your advice, if anyone ever offers me an appletini at a party or otherwise I promise to kick them square in the nuts. Hard. Real Hard.

I take exception to your intimation that manhattans are anywhere near douchebag level drinks. Bourbon and sweet vermouth is nowhere near foo-foo level where I'm from.

I am a big fan of Manhattans myself. The number of ingredients does get a bit douchebaggish, however. Usually I don't have any cherries, which drops the Manhattan into "huge cock" territory with only three ingredients.

Oops.
I swallowed the ruby, thinking it was an ice cube.

"which drops the Manhattan into 'huge cock' territory with only three ingredients."

rho, the bitters is optional, so, with only two ingredients, huge balls might come into play, too. Then again, Dick Cheney says that any drink chilled or with ice (not the gem kind) is for chicks.

Sorry, bud, that's the rule; so, don't kill the messenger. Try your whiskey straight.

Sorry, ya'll. Manhattans are right up there with Old Fashions.
Tre foo-foo.

no way - a Manhattan is a kick ass drink. I leave out the bitters.

Only one way to find out. Course, I've have to move lower on the shelf to make it compatible with the Ace-O-Spades Lifestyle.

NFW our Dark Lord says martinis are chick drinks. What's next? Beer? I'm calling BS on this libel right now.

Asked and answered months ago in reesponse to my own query.

Lord Cheney says men may drink martinis but not out of martini glasses. Those are gay. Olives turn out to be okay as they remind Lord Cheney of the eyeballs of those he has destroyed.

He has spoken.

the bitters is optional

Nah. Vermouth is optional, bitters is not.

They were trying to give people a way to remember the night. Do they mean as in, I spent $950 in a bar in one night and didn't get drunk, I would certainly remember that night.

No. Of course not.

They meant "I spent $950 in a bar in one night and didn't get laid, I would certainly remember that night."

For that kind of money for a drink, I want the entire female cast of Showgirls giving me laptop dances in the Champagne room...

What are you, a Girl Drink Drunk?
