the quark's bar in vegas has inspired this thought, anyone got some other sci-fi themed drink ideas? heres one of mine the "Namekian" (inspired by the planet from DBZ) add equal parts Cuervo Gold and bombay sapphire Gin to a clear spearmint liquor, makeing sure that for every part of cuervo and sapphire there is an equal part spearmint it's green, it's mean, and will wipe your mind clean
Bloodwine-a very sweet merlot, a shot of Stoli blackberry and a dash of vermouth. Weird, but it works. Don't ask how I got there.
I was at a party once where they dumped every bit of booze they had into one punch bowl and called it a Kobayashi Maru.
I never made this but as a joke I made a drink called "The First Wave" (from a line by a sergeant in Starship Troopers about going in with the first wave.) It was supposed to be a shot of everclear with a dollop of sour cream on top.
The Babylon 5 cookbook (Dining on Babylon 5) by Boxtree has recipes for Londo's favourite tipples Brivari and Hot Jala: Brivari: One part dark rum, one part brandy, one part Triple Sec Hot Jala: Moisten a martini glass rim with a lemon slice and dip in caster sugar. Then place 30ml cognac, 30ml Cointreau and 45ml blue Curacao in a saucepan with 1tsp icing sugar. Heat until bubbling at the edges, pop in a blender with 45ml soda water and blend until frothy, pour into the sugared glass.
There's a club here in Ottawa called Zaphod Beeblebrox. So, of course, they have a drink called a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. Quoting from http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink12215.html, here's the ingredients: 1 oz Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey 1 oz peach schnapps 4 - 6 oz orange juice 1 splash Blue Curacao liqueur Tasty and refreshing, and (unlike the version in the book) it won't get you hammered too quickly.
From B5, there is also the Jovian Sunspot. Not beign a drinker myself, I imagine the recipe varies depending upon teh source. However, according to the "Urban Dictionary": Then there's "Dining on Babylon5" which seems to include a great many of the drinks seen on the show: - Hot Jala (cognac,cointreau, blue curacao) - Brivari(brandy,rum,triple sec) - Jovian Sunspot(cream of coconut,cran-apple juice, vodka, OJ) Edit: Which I see has already been mentioned by matthunter
When the film came out, me, my brother, and a couple of friends spent most of a day trying to perfect our own Gargle Blaster recipe. We used various recipes we found online, including this one, as a starting point and then commenced to experimenting. We came up with something we liked, eventually, and I think maybe someone wrote it down... but the notes were lost. So I have no clue what the final formula may have been. We were specifically aiming for something that simulated the effects described in the book. I think we succeeded. We also pissed off my sister-in-law because we permanently stained her coffee table in the process. It was a fun day. We went out and got our tickets, and--seeing as there was a bar near the theater--we decided to keep up the Hitchhikers' themed fun. We got some peanuts, ordered three pints each (well, actually, they were 23 oz. drafts, so a bit more than even an Imperial pint a go... I seem to recall we ordered Bass, on the principle that it was as close to bitter as could be had in our two-bit podunk town in the Ohio Hinterlands), and made a point of starting to drink them exactly twelve minutes before showtime. Then we watched the Earth being destroyed.
Years and years ago, my university's fantasy-gaming club had a Halloween party with a whole list of Cthulhu-themed drinks. I only remember two. A bottle of beer was an 'Investigator'--because you twisted its head off, drained it dry, and discarded the empty shell. And the Eye of Yog-Sothoth, which consisted of tequila, an egg yolk, and a shot of tabasco. It looked appropriately nasty, but I don't remember it tasting that bad.
