If you were to design a cocktail for a fellow Jelly, what would the recipe be?

I’m not good at this sort of thing. But the question immediately brought to mind the thought of Larry Niven’s Kzin, a race of warlike sentient bipedal tigers, that stumbles across earth and develops a love of hair dryers, scotch whiskey and tuna flavored ice cream.

Tuna flavored ice cream??

Well they are big cats and their big mistake in the man-Kzin wars is that they always “pounce” too soon. They refer to men with contempt as “treacherous plant eating monkeys.”

Orange Juice mixed with Listerine on Ice.

Four ounces of Tanqueray London Dry Gin straight out of a minus 5* F freezer poured into a old fashion glass with an ounce of Limoncello and a twist of lemon peel. To be used to wash down ham and jalapeño jack cheese on rye toast sandwiches. Repeat as necessary!

Straight rot-gut whiskey. No ice. No nothing. Just cheap whiskey. Right out of the bottle wrapped in a brown paper bag, if they want.

For me a virgin screwdriver.

The Jellyfish: A glass of water, tentacles of blue curacao hanging down and a body of vodka on top.
Something like this.

@marinelife That photo is A+ terrific! Those cocktails look just like our Fluther logo.

There are quite a few here that I would raise a tumbler or three of Rooster Piss with.

Rooster Piss:

1 shot cinnamon schnapps
1 shot bourbon
1 squeeze fresh lemon juice

A virgin screwdriver is just orange juice no vodka. I don’t drink.

Yeah, @RedDeerGuy1 I got that part, but you can make one up for a fellow jelly if you like.

For a Jelly – who we can’t name due to a rule that irritates me really badly sometimes:

Pear 75

1.5 measures Clear Creek Williams Pear Brandy
½ measure Ginger Syrup
top with Brut Champagne

Pour brandy and ginger syrup into a mixing glass with ice. Stir until chilled. Strain into champagne glass. Top with champagne. To garnish, use thin lemon peel twists.

PBR*- you know who you are.

@DrasticDreamer Naming other jellies in quips is fine, as long as

a) non-participating users are only mentioned in a positive light
b) there is no personal information divulged, and
c) threads do not threaten to turn into popularity contests.

So, you can definitely say,

”@longgone should get an awesome cocktail because she is a genius.”

Should you want to.

@longgone Oh, okay, thanks! Actually… I think you told me that recently and I forgot. Someone can make me a gin and memory tonic if they want.

In that case, my drink was for @Jeruba because she seems classy and sophisticated! :)

Protein shake with tots of fruit and some energy drink. Not very good but my fellow jelly needs to stay in shape recently.

I would make a Seattle Seahawks Sling for marinelife with juniper berry wine, sloe gin and Washington state sparkling water.

I’ll have two of what @TW is having.

@Seek More than two is NOT an option. The sandwiches are great, I’ve been eating those for almost fifty years.

For a librarian: cream, cocoa powder, Kahlua and peppermint schnapps
For a mariner: Very dry gin, dry sherry, and a dash of hot sauce.
For a dreamer: Vodka and St John’s Wort.
For a blonde: Sherry and pickled lemon zest.
For a Hawaiian: Single male scotch and St Johns’ Wort.
For a mad tootsie pop: Vermouth and Amaretto with a rootbeer tootsie pop as a stirrer.
For a zen master: a glass halfway filled.
For an august personage: Red Sky at Night served in a Klein bottle.
For myself: a humorless glass of water.

^^ Another newbie who must be an oldbie.

@DrasticDreamer, thank you. [Tilting glass toward you] That sounds wonderful.

If I were a tenth of a percent as classy and sophisticated as the lady in my avatar (at least, when she’s not wearing a turkey on her head, or a jellyfish), I might even know what to order for you. As it is, though, I’ll just send a glass of chilled white wine to your table and hope you enjoy it.

Anything with champagne as the major ingredient—this jelly will know who I’m talking about.

For @LuckyGuy some peach sangria.
