    Forget all the fancy named drinks. Someday I'm going to order a Bronx cocktail. I heard about in the movie The Thin Man.

    Nick Charles: The important thing is the rhythm. Always have rhythm in your shaking. Now a Manhattan you shake to fox-trot time, a Bronx to two-step time, a dry martini you always shake to waltz time.
    The Martini, Manhattan and Bronx were the top three drinks in 1934.

      This isn't a made up name but I'm wondering how many of you can name the ingredients of a "Cinderella Cocktail".

        I don't know the ingredients, but is it served in a glass slipper?

          Nope, not this one.

            In a shared-universe writing group, there was a particularly potent potable called a "Naked Singularity," also known as "The Drink What Burns Your Soul."
            Tell us more about what's in this cocktail, or at least provide a link to the recipe. I am curious.

            We should have a challenge whereby people make up a name and the bartenders among us have to guess what the contents should (!) be...
            Bring it! I'm in!

            Seriously, this has happened. The two most famous examples are The Screaming Viking from the tv show Cheers!, and the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster from the the book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy--both fictional drinks that fans later made actual recipes for.

            No clue, but I'm pretty sure it isn't available after midnight.

              Close.

              As a hint of what it could contain here is a hint of what's not in it. Alcohol...this is a cocktail that looks like it should have *something* in it but doesn't and so is safe for the designated driver.

                So it's a mocktail, like a Shirley Temple, Roy Rogers, or virgin piña colada. Got it.

                  Alas, the site where the stories were hosted is dead now, and I don't think it was ever actually specified what was in a Naked Singularity. Just that it was one of the most potent drinks around. (Kind of like a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster, only less damaging to your brain cells.)

                  Given that the shared universe of that writing group featured magic and whatnot, I wouldn't have been surprised if some of the ingredients were supernatural in origin.

                  I still like the name, though.

                    I did Google the name, and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions are available. The only thing they share is the name.

                        Oooh I did not know there was a alcoholic version. I've only had the NA version since well...I'm really not supposed to drink.

                            Let me guess....it's not pretty to look at, it smells bad, and it costs way too much.

                              Sounds like North Buffalo Creek here in Greensboro . . .

                              and as an added bonus, likes to flood out during heavy rains.

                                Pretty much, but the cost isn't just monetary.

                                Basically you take the mat off the floor and drain all the liquid on it into a glass. LOL
