I just invented a new drink. Help me name it

[EstimatedProphet]

Poll question: I just invented a new drink. Help me name it

Here's what's in it:
3 oz. Bombay Sapphire Gin


1 oz. Bulleitt Bourbon


Dash of extra dry vermouth


Pour over ice. Shaken not stirred. Martini glass with 3 almond-stuffed olives for garnish.

Quite nice and smooth!

[pinto]

1. An EU Cocktail...n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

2. OK...why?

Not saying anything about the name, just was wondering about the reasoning that led to it...

[pinto]

12. a stab at multinational name - gin, vermouth and bourbon.

'Though I know bourban is a US drink...

eh? :shrug:

[EstimatedProphet]

13. Ok

I get it now.

[Reverend_Smitty]

3. Bourbotini

I like the sound of that! btw what is the DUtini?

on edit: Scorch sounds like an itchy skin disease. as in don't touch me I'm contageous with the Scorch!

[EstimatedProphet]

6. Here's a DUtini

3 oz Bombay Sapphire


1 oz. Wild Spirit whiskey liquer


Dash of extra dry vermouth


Pour over ice. Shaken not stirred. In a martini glass, garnish with 3 olives.

[Reverend_Smitty]

9. Gin, whiskey and vermouth....

blech! not for me. The only thing I would keep is the vermouth

[Dookus]

4. Umm...

The Vomitron?

Gin and bourbon? There oughtta be a law...

[EstimatedProphet]

7. Dude it's really good n/t

[Dookus]

10. Well

Bourbon is what God sips, and Gin is Satan's swill, so you've already created a theologically unsound drink.

Then you take the fact that you've destroyed a perfectly good Manhattan. You should call it a 9/11.

[EstimatedProphet]

11. "Theologically unsound"

Maybe I should call it a Fallwell.

[Dookus]

17. good idea

BOTH will make ya puke.

[Osamasux]

30. I don't know if you will Falwell.

It depends how many you have.

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. LOL! "Theologically Unsound" - I like that!

And the idea of calling it a Falwell. Except that if that was the name, I wouldn't touch it, for fear of being tainted.

Though I'd happily throw it down the sink if it were a Falwell.

maybe "Falwell's Pedophilia".

[EstimatedProphet]

26. Maybe a "moralizer", or maybe a "hypocrite"

Something along those lines...

[MissMarple]

34. Honey, the Diety sips unblended scotch. And gin tastes like Christmas...

Also, I noted the sweet vermouth. It's a shame to screw up a good Manhattan. :D

5. Kentuckitini

[Floogeldy]

8. Ipacec

[EstimatedProphet]

35. Seriously, it's quite good

[Mabus]

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. Anything ending in -tini is blasphemous to the Martini

Goddammit, a Martini is a cocktail - cocktail is the meta-category, not Martini!!!

Jesus, people, please get this straight, and stop equating Martini and cocktail.

Martini is a specific - like Labrador.

Cocktail is a category - like dog.

STOP THE MADNESS PEOPLE!!!!

[EstimatedProphet]

20. Yeah, but I didn't call it a martini

It would be different if I called it a bourbon martini. I didn't.
I'm not using martini, just the -tini ending.

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. Doesn't matter that you just used the -tini ending!

The usage of -tini as the ending to a drink name simply belies the fact that people don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

The Martini is the Grande Dame of drinks, for one thing, and should be respected. But even beyond that, it's just lazy ignorant nomenclature to grab onto the -tini ending and use that in a drink name. Like crantini, and chocotini, etc. It's bullshit.

It's like developing a bunch of new dogs, none of which has any relation to the Labrador, but insisting that all the names end in -rador, just because Labradors might be popular or something at the time.

I know that you can do better than this silliness. You are much smarter than that.

Maybe "Burginouth". Or "Safehouse". Or "Bricklayer".

[Taverner]

16. How about a "Fuck Me Gently With a Chainsaw"?

[EstimatedProphet]

18. OW!

[Taverner]

19. Line from "Heathers"

great line - and from the alchohol content on that one, I think it fits :)

[EstimatedProphet]

21. It's certainly got a kick

I'm getting faced.

[seriousstan]

22. Wasted Indian

No p.c here.

[KittyWampus]

25. Prairie Fire

[EstimatedProphet]

28. Already taken

A Prairie Fire is tequila with tabasco mixed in

[Sabriel]

27. The Blue Bulleit n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

29. I like it!

That's a good one

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. Nah, go with Sapphire Bulleit

[EstimatedProphet]

32. Yeah, that's good too

[EstimatedProphet]

33. I just thought of another one

A "fishslap"
this sucker has oen helluva kick...

[MissMarple]

36. I voted other.

It doesn't belong in a martini glass. It's a COCKTAIL not a MARTINI. There is a big difference.

And I have a name for it, but I can't tell you, I'm a mom person.

[EstimatedProphet]

37. Martini glasses are used for a lot more than Martinis

There's several drinks that use them.
BTW what is a "mom person"?

[rug]

38. Bombay Bullet
