But which novel?? Thanks to MicroBob on Vegas Drinking Prop Bet for the only reference to this drink that i could find...on YAHOO, no less!! Suck it, Googler purists..."...Then you could start making up your own drinks like telling the bartender to make you a 'Sam in a Sweater'.
Bartender: "Ummm, WTF is that?"
"Well, you take 2 parts vodka, mix in some triple-sec, diet Cherry Dr. Pepper and a touch of cream and blend it with ice. Teeny umbrella garnish is optional. Do you have any curly/ bendy straws at least?"
[the idea of screwing with a bartender and ordering a drink that you made up on the spot is borrowed from a novel]"
In any case, i have found a few sweater-based cocktail recipes, but none of them seem to have anything in common. AlSto assumed, based on Dr. Venture's rather disgusting drink preferences, that this one would be no exception.
ERIN'S SWEATER is a 3-to-2 mix of Blue Curacao and chocolate liqueur, shaken and served over ice cubes in a champagne saucer!!!??? Thanks to drinkswap.com for this one. There is also the YELLOW SWEATER (with short sleeves) as given by barmeister.com: 1 oz. vodka, 3/4 oz. creme de banana, and 1/2 oz lime juice. Mix and strain.
With ice, i presume...???
i'm a google purist with a cream-butter-colored sweater you are going to hate.
ReplyDelete"Sam in a Sweater" is from a book called "Teeth" by Hugh Gallagher.
ReplyDeleteTwo characters go to a bar and play a game where one makes up a name for a drink, the other improvs the ingredients to the bartender. They drink "Sam in a Sweater", "Junkie Pandas", and "Semi-Automatic Lebanese Drag Queens" on various occasions.
Fun book, by the way.
