A Signature Hat Drink?


Recommended Posts

i don't know why (i am really working, so maybe that's why), but the thought came to mind of a "signature" Hat drink reading the thread about best pints.

 

any ideas?

 

i came up with the Don Bomb (like a grenade, but not) with a pin and a drop in a beer glass.

 

a vodka base. a Sicilian kiss or dark rum shot as the pin. and a melon ball as the drop with the vodka (it is spring, after all).

 

or....

 

like a bit of cold and heat. a Red Bull base. a polar bear shot as your pin. Fireball as the drop.

 

i'll keep thinking on this.

Gin & Tonic.

That the worlds best cocktail.

 

Gin is the only spirit worth drinking, alongside bourbon.

 

A signature drink should really be a pint and a chaser. That the way the big boys roll

i was brought up doing the shot with a chaser of beer. but that's the way the big girls roll ;)

 

so are you agreeing the g&t should be THE signature drink of the Hat? any special name, or just g&t?

I've no idea what all that is, but the answer should be Jack Daniels anyway.

 

So... Jack Daniels.

 

so you're suggesting just a shot of JD is THE Hat drink?

 

Why not?

 

You open the bottle and pour it into a glass/your mouth... no mixing or dicking around with umbrellas or plastic monkeys or mixers.

there's no monkeys, mixers or umbrellas in the don bomb either. just a couple of shots and a beer glass.

Don't mess with a classic. G & T is a great name, no need for wacky references to a website. Leave that for losers.

are you holding up the bar in a well-stocked pub as we speak, Bluto?

Of course

 

perfect then!

 

have the bartender set up a glass that will hold the two shots offset at the top. stick a few ounces of vodka or red bull at the bottom of the glass. a dark rum pin. and the chambord and bourbon drop.

 

and fire it back. let me know how it tastes ;)

i'd be more inclined to a vodka rather than red bull base. but you'll get pretty drunk quickly doing that. :( but the chambord, bourbon and some mild base should be delicious.

 

give it a go and see :)

Drink selections here are pretty limited. Hundreds if beeers but not much else.

 

Bourbon, doubtful. Chambord nae chance

 

poop. it'll have to wait til later then. i'll give it a go and report back.

but thank you for even considering doing it! :cheers:

 

have to say that the Don Bomb is not bad at all. :applause:

 

a last-minute substitution. went for a chambord and kahlua drop (no bourbon left in the house. actually there is. but it would mean dipping into the boy's stock, and i wouldn't do that while he's gone). so you've got the red shot. and the rum pin. a vodka with a dash of ginger ale base. was tasty!

Is that something you're partial to then?

 

Had one in Korova last weekend. Not exactly by choice but it was bought for me so I just had to drink it. Not like this one in the video below, Korova put the drumstick in the drink. Not sure why, it would probably take years to dissolve a drumstick.
