Bad, bad drink
My favorite drink that I never enjoyed is the Marion Berry - which I mentioned once in a previous blog life. The recipe:
1oz Bourbon
1oz Jaegermeister
1oz Kahlua
1oz Coke
This drink was invented by Jonah Goldberg and his friends, who wanted to create a drink, "So black, not even the man can keep it down."
Aside from that, I have always enjoyed this nasty concoction - the gin gimlet - which I picked up from Raymond Chandler:
3oz Devil Gin
1oz Rose's Lime
mix, shake with ice, strain, drink and grimace

A Vodka Gimlet is always a better choice. In fact, Vokda is always a better choice.
In fact, I'm going to go exercise my freedom of choice right now.
Cheers!

Might be be drinkable if you skip the Cola... and only have one.
It looks like one of those concoctions that leads to worship of the 'porcelain goddess' if one over-indulges.

The Marion Berry is only drinkable if it is never mixed together. In which case, the components should be drunk in this order:
Kahlua
Jaeger
Coke
Bourbon
I recognize, aesthetically, that the vodka gimlet is superior to the gin - but I like the true gimlet better.
Never, NEVER mix bourbon,
Never, NEVER mix bourbon, Coke, and Kahlua.
Seriously. Never.
Never.
A side note. Last night I asked the wife, who is not a fan of liquors, "so is there a liquor you WILL drink"? Her answer, after a second's thought: "tequila."
She's the greatest woman in the world.
