Official HH Favorite Cocktail Tournament / Shit Pole

YellowSnow

Continuing the tradition of top shelf cocktail hot talk featured in Yellow Snow's Record Shoppe, we are pleased to announce a tournament covering the 40 or so greatest cocktails of all time. The format will mirror that of that of the TV show theme song tournament with 4 poles, each with 10 classic cocktails. The top vote receiver in each pole will advance to a final pole of 4 drinks. @RoadDawg55 predicts something boring and cliche like a Marg or Martini will probably win, but fuck it - this will be a hoot and a holler regardless.

The Categories...

Whiskey Based Cocktails
Gin Based
Vodka Based
Topical / Boat Drinks

They will be combined so as not to dilute the bloody vote.

French martinis at Daphne's in Edmonds are the shit. Tell Desmond that BleachedAnusDawg sent you!

At the Pe Ell Pub and Chester's Club in South Bend - stick with the beer not cocktails. Tombstone Willies in Menlo - don't even go.

Regular brandy is piss. I drank 130 year Hennessy recently.

I like BM if they place doesn’t try to hard and garnish it with a 7 course meal. Celery, couple olives and call it a day.

Pup says all you really needed is pickled asparagus and I tend to agree. Picked beans are good too.
