Beijing Olympics Thought 6: Continental drink
Eight is a lucky number in China, so for each of the 88 days until the 2008 Olympics, I will strip-mine my brain to unearth a thought related to Beijing and The Games. That’s one thought per brain cell. It’s called teamwork, people!
Thought 6 of 88
Following up on yesterday’s idea of shots themed on the Olympic mascots, why not an Olympic cocktail for those who prefer slower imbibing? Since each Olympic ring represents a continent, the beverage could include a global mix of alcohol, a sort of international Long Island, with options such as Tequila (North America), Gin (Europe), Cachaca (South America) and, well, I’m not sure what African alcohol is available here in our fair city. Since the games will be in Beijing, a Chinese alcohol seems appropriate, with Maotai and Baijiu obvious choices, though the strong lichee-based liquors from southern China are another option.
And the name? Well, let’s skip Long Island and instead go for Great Wall, cause the morning after drinking a few of these it’s s going to feel like you banged your head against one.
