Major mistake on this one. Based on the pulse of many posters here the drink would have to be three ounces of Angostura bitters, two ounces of Worcestershire sauce, two ounces of grapefruit juice, one tablespoon of wasabi powder served hot with a handful of Get Off My Lawn clippings on top.

The Gunsie - A warm 30 year old bottle of YingYang Lager, served with the top of the bottle broken off in the parking lot of Champs.

So, @Midnighter - did I miss the open bar for Ohio and Auburn? I searched through the game day threads and nothing popped out - hence I thought there were health code violations. If you have the drink recipes, please post them on this thread.

We need to keep the liquor flowing every week.

Pretty sure no bar for Ohio - would have to double check for Auburn. I’ll be sure to post the bar info here going forward. Might be a bit early for the Michigan game since there is a good chance I will miss the early part of it with kid activities.

Up to you to include historical references. I just was OK with starting with 2022 and moving forward.

(Hiccup)! I will start at the top of your drink list and work my way down to the bottom, plus there will be an extra tip in it for you Midnighter, if every drink could be served by one of your "talented" bar workers, especially a different one for each drink. I can pass out a very old and happy fan....

Your efforts are duly noted and will be discussed during your annual Board performance review.

The Northwestern Alphonse sounds an awful lot like a Boulevardier!

To be fair, I can't/don't make up completely original recipes - some are, but not all. Simply not enough time...that said, I make an effort to find spirits that are unique/local or representative of the cocktail name.

LB's Mai Tai recipe, which has been used to get a whole lot of people feeling happy:

1. Fill a large (18-20 ounce) high ball glass about 2/3rds full of ice. Chipped ice (neither slush nor whole cubes) is best, but whole cubes > slush.
2. Add 3/4 shot of Bacardi Gold rum
3. Add 3/4 shot of Bacardi Superior (clear) rum.
4. Add enough Dole Orange Pineapple Juice to bring the contents of the glass to about 1/2 inch short of the rim. (The pre-mixed Orange Pineapple juice is the easiest, but if you cannot find it, use equal parts straight orange juice and straight pineapple juice.)
5. Squeeze in a large slice of lime. (None of that candy *** off the shelf lime "juice." It must be the real thing.)
6. Add 1/2 shot of Meyers (dark) rum as a floater. (Alternatively, it can be stirred in.) If you want to go upscale here, you can use Koloa dark rum.
7. Drink it. A couple of these will have you feeling good.

I just thought of this today. SCones and Sean Clifford.

I'll go with the Blueberry Scone Punch

In a mixer, combine 1 cup Clifford Bay Sauvignon Blanc, 1/4 cup of pre-made Blueberry scone puree (scone, ice and tbsp of water in blender) for flavor, shot of grapefruit juice and tsp of simple syrup, shot of aperol.

Shake it up like you are a head hunting LB at Auburn, pour into a tall glass, and top with Franklin & Sons Ginger infused soda.

Garnish with a sprig of Drew Silky Lupine

Substitute any type of scone, this recipe is for a PSU blue drink
