This piece was inspired by the article on pages 8 & 9 of the NY Post today about celebrating the death of Bin Laden and some drinks local bars came up with. The first 3 drinks are from the article the last three I came up with on the subway this morning. Now before we get to the drinks...take a step back from the bar for a second...more then enough to go around...I need to make one thing perfectly clear...while generally the death of someone should not be celebrated we are not dealing with a Human Being here. Usama Bin Laden was a sick twisted monster who is responsible for the deaths of thousands of men, women, and yes children. Nationality, nor race, nor religion meant anything to this creature. He has blood on his hands from all around the world. A man was not killed, a foul slimy deformed creature that slithered under rocks in caves was.
There is no correlation here whatsoever with Americans cheering in the streets for the demise of a monster with Islamic fanatics cheering in the street when a pregnant woman and her children are gunned down in their car, when a family is knifed to death in their sleep, or when guests at a wedding are blown to bits. Please note these are all real events that have happened and continue to do so. There is no moral equivalent here and if you think there is then you are either a kinder gentler soul then I am or a total lunatic (it's the later:)) OK...now I'm guessing you need a drink...
The Double Tap - 2 shots of any American Whisky w/a splash of water
The Osama Bin Shot - Shot of Vodka w/a splash of red grenadine
The Bloody Terrorist - 1 shot vodka, 1 shot gin,1 shot tequila, Tomato juice w/a splash of Tabasco
The Geronimo - Fill a pint 3/4 with a Wheat Beer brewed in NY[Twin Towers], Penn [Flight 93], or Virginia/Maryland [Pentagon] add a swirl of Blood Orange juice and depth charge a shot glass of American Whiskey...drink...then shout...VICTORY!!!
The ISI (Pakistan's Intelligence Service) Fill a glass with one part each of Cognac, Dark Rum, Kahlua, Ouzo, Tomato juice, Cola, Red Wine, Olives, cherries, and bitters. No ice...stir. This sounds like a mess...why would I come up with such a disaster that would taste horrible, likely get you drunk but hungover at the same time you ask? Did you not see who the drink is named for ...Pakistan's ISI...a total disaster that while they help sometimes...constantly give us grief. In other words...best to avoid this one.
The Navy SEAL - Named for our real American Hero's...1 part each of Silver tequila, Everclear, Absinthe w/a splash of Lemonade. These guys are made out of steel so I'm guessing they are going to need a hardcore combo just to give them a buzz...plus being real good ole boy Americans they must love their Lemonade...
Please note, I choose 6 for the number of drinks vs top 10 in honor of my Dad. 6 was his number. He served his country in the US Army and was an NRA instructor. He would have absolutely loved that Usama was taken out up close and personal with a bullet to his head.
