Invent a Drink!
So as you all hopefully know by now, The American Story Project is going to be throwing a "Summer Fundraising Extravaganza" at the Bowery Poetry Club next Sunday, the 15th. There will be music, raffel prizes and a 50/50 chance of seeing me in a 3 piece suit. It promises to be a metric shit-ton of fun. Especially considering that the fine folks at the Bowery Poetry Club have offered to serve our trademark drink. But here's the problem: there is no official American Story Project drink.
Yet.
This is where you come in, dear Reader. By Sunday, we need to invent a new drink with a funny name to serve all of the fine people who come to our party. We are willing to take any and all suggestions. So please leave us a comment that includes a recipe and a funny name for this drink that has to do with 19th photography. The winner will receive my gratitude and the joy of knowing that they just got a lot of people in trouble with their boss come Monday morning.

    Just to start things off, I'm going to offer a submission of my own, a minor variation on the Old-Fashioned that I will call "The Brady"

    The Brady

    1 teaspoon sugar
    1 teaspoon water
    2 dashes bitters
    Mix together until the sugar is dissolved. Then fill the glass with ice.
    Squeeze a lime over the ice and then add:
    1 1/2 ounces rye whiskey
    Stir to mix well and chill the drink.

    Chris and I came up with this: it’s called the William Tecumseh Sherman.

    Three parts bourbon to one parts peach schnapps, served as a shot and lit on fire. Don’t forget to blow it out.

    War is hell; so’s this drink.

    What about a variation on the Tequila Sunrise that can also be called an Orange Juliette? For some reason that sounds more appetizing than Jess's suggestion... also because I hate Jess.

    After researching how to light drinks on fire, I think Chris and I have come up with a more appropriate version of the W.T. Sherman:

    2/3 shot peach schnapps, top off with a layer of 151, then light on fire.

    “If offered this drink I shall not accept; if given the drink I shall not drink; if I drink this shot, I shall not stay sober.” --Sherman.

    i say we serve long island iced teas but call them "fuzzy visions," get the party goers smashed, and then coerce everyone to spend their next month's rent on raffle tickets.
