That’s a lot of beer

So I’m lazy. I think most of you already k now this. Well last weekend I got to go to visit some friends in Atlanta. There was lots of Wii action and such, but the main reason for going was the East Atlanta Beer Festival. All I can say is that it was hot, but at least a breeze was blowing. I don’t drink much beer, but I did enjoy the several varieties of hard cider I got to drink. That and watching friends try a couple dozen of the hundred or so beers there was fun. I think I have something scheduled for next year too.

Drink Naming

For several months, I’ve been enjoying a version of the screwdriver I created. I had been trying to think of a good name the whole time. Well the screwdriver recipe is as follows:


3 oz vodka (from the freezer of course) I like Frïs (mild), Tanqueray Sterling (nice flavor), and Ketel One (peppery)

1 oz quality tangerine juice

4 oz quality orange juice

Feel free to adjust the vodka portion to taste.


So I’ve been drinking these for several months. At first I had to squeeze my own tangerine juice. Just recently my grocery store started to carry tangerine juice. Anyway I was talking with some friends before lunch today and the name came to me. It’s an Africanized Screwdriver. In order to understand that one, just look at the origin of the tangerine name and a certain insect’s history of hybridization


Now back to finishing my Africanized Screwdriver.
