Name that Cocktail

November 8, 2008 12:47 PM

get creative: Help us name the cocktail tonight that is being served at a 40th birthday party for a man.

He works in finance, is a former Florida Gator & NYU grad, has a pretty nerdy but fun group on his guest list. The cocktail is a rum/citrus-y number and will look kind of light orange. His first name is Mitch. Anything come to mind?

The "Mid-Life Crisis" is too mean. Keep it clean, his parents will be there.

Thanks!

Somewhere there's a variation on Gatorade with a witty pun in it. Until you find that, I'm going to toss out "Financial-crisis-ade".

Ali Baba. There's a trasure cave, giving the link to finance, and the cave is the storage place of a band of 40 thieves. Eh, okay, perhaps not great, but still...

New York? Florida? It sounds like a 'Snowbird' to me.

"Mitch-a-palooza"

It was the name of the big party they had in the movie Old School for their friend Mitch... PLUS old school is about a bunch of middle age guys starting a fraternity at their local college, a pretty mid-life-crisis ish theme.

Since it's got rum, I'm thinking pirates would like it, and since it's got citrus, I'm thinking it'd be good for them to drink (gotta watch out for scurvy). So I'm thinking something along the lines of "Scurvy Shot". Though it's more of a cocktail than a shot, so maybe "Scurvy Oil" or "Scurvy Potion".

so, we went with Mid-Life Crisis after he deemed it funny. That way as the waitress handed them out she could say "Would you like another mid life crisis?".

Thanks, Mefites.
