Why DO they put all that nonsense in the drink?

It’s alive! Mwa-ha-ha!!!

Must be a football (American) drink. It’s got Dolphins in it.

That’s why I drink whiskey – neat. No muss no fuss.

One of the reasons I avoid alcohol altogether.

M’god, that could be admitted to the U.N. as another nation.

You had WHAT on the beach?!

He should order Clayton a virgin version. :-)

Was there any room for the drink?

Reminds me of our first cruise when they were offering “foo-foo” drinks for the passengers! Almost impossible to drink with all the umbrellas, fruits, etc.Make mine bourbon, neat…Thank you!

My favorite foo-foo is the “Tropical Itch”, it comes with a back scratcher in it.

All the drinks on the menu at the local 2-drink-minimum + cover comedy club are foo-foo. Order any simple cocktail off-menu, and the waitresses have no idea what’s in that. I have to have 2 scotches before ordering an “orange dream”, a “coconut cabana”, or a “rum oasis”. They all come topped with whip cream, straw, and a silly bundle of fruit.

Now imagine the kids stuff…

As I said earlier, I am a bourbon drinker and I do like Manhattans. Unfortunately, some bars catering to a younger crowd think they have to half fill the glass with cherry juice! For me, Jim Beam, Sweet Vermouth, and a cherry is just fine. Leave the juice for the “kids”!

Is any part of the garnish edible? If so – forget the appy. If not – where’s the drink?.Ceaser’s a Canadian beverage of vodka and clamatto started with a stalk of celery. Depending upon where you go – and the price of the drink – I have gotten two large prawns, a spiced, pickled green bean and a green olive on the skewer. …. who needs appys…:)
