Although they contain neither beer nor bourbon, I’m posting a recipe for the most delicious slushy drinks ever. It is 93 degrees in the shade outside after all.
3 oz. vodka
3 oz. chambord
6 oz. cranberry juice
2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
Put everything in the blender and add ice to the top of the liquid. Blend until smooth. Sometimes I have to add a little bit more ice to thicken it up. This makes about four drinks.
One time the guy at the liquor store tried to convince me that the razz-ma-tazz was as good as chambord. Don’t be fooled– it’s not. Chambord is expensive, but definitely worth it.
Cheers!

I recently read a piece by John Foyston in The Oregonian relating how five bottles of an ultra-rare beer named Hair of the Dog Dave sold separately at auction for a combined $2838.30. Had there been a sixth, Foyston points out, it would have amounted to a $3,500 sixer.
After cringing a bit, I had to laugh. If it had been a wine, the name on the bottle would have been something pompous sounding like Coche-Dury Corton-Charlemagne. However, these bidders shelled out up to $719 per 375ml for a tipple named Dave. You have to love the working-class ethic of the craft beer community.
Thinking about the humble name given to such a pricey beer led me to consider how many odd names exist in the craft beer world. I’d like to offer my take on the 10 coolest beer names:
