Does your job inspire you to make drinks?
I dismantled a sling designed for holding up a flamingo with injured legs/feet today. I thought about the phrase "Flamingo Sling," and imagined a pink frothy drink. Also this morning I removed squirrel carcasses from a crawlspace. "Dead Squirrel in the Crawlspace" is a much less appealing phrase, so I imagined this would be cocktail of gin and durian juice.
I sent these imaginings into the Twittersphere (composed of 4 or 5 close friends, 20 or 30 elljay friends, and 30 or 40 spambots) and got some very clever job-related potent potables in response.
@iagbegreg, the owner of a dog walking company came up with these:
Chukkit: Oj, vodka, grenadine.
Brookline Animal Control: whiskey, sweet vermouth, splash of seltzer
Wet Spaniel: Bourbon, brandy, drambuie.
Off Leash Dog: a Long island ice T with two shakes of bitters.
@kmatt45, a dispatcher for a delivery company thought of some, and also cemented the most succinct hashtag: #workinspiredcocktails
The Direct Rush: vodka, Red Bull and Bloody Mary mix. Gah, that sounds terrible!
The Sweaty Biker: rum, coconut water, pineapple juice. HEAVILY salted rim.
The Grumpy Dispatcher: half iced coffee, half seltzer, two shots of Jager.
@DJ_Christ_2006, a graphic designer came up with these:
The "iStockPhoto-tini": 2 oz 'well' gin + 1 oz 'well' vodka, poured into a half-full TEENI™(Any flavor).
The "Papyrus": 3 oz Irish whiskey, 3 oz Chinese plum wine. Serve warm, garnish with a saltine cracker.
The "½ Inch Bleed":This is any beer served in a pint glass, but refilled to overflowing after every swig.
Then I remembered that at a coworker's going away party I actually had a work inspired cocktail:
Fecal Float: layered vodka and kahlua served in a test tube.
What I'd really like to do is to perfectly capture the look of euthanasia fluid (we use the pink stuff). The cocktail will be clearer than a Flamingo Sling, and @c0tt0nmanifest0 said "i think the white coconut rum w a splash of chambord." Sounds delicious!
