Cocktail of the Week: N Is For Necrophiliac

The cocktail of the week is the letter "N," and the drink is Necrophiliac.  Crank up the air conditioning and listen to something like the Ballad of the Hip Death Goddess by Ultimate Spinach while you sip at this drink that's colored to look like anti-freeze. 

1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz light rum
1/2 oz coconut rum
1/2 oz melon liqueur
4 oz pineapple juice
1 oz orange juice

Pour the vodka, rums, melon liqueur and juices into a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Shake well, strain into a highball glass, and serve.

Talk at the bar this week centered around a blog entry by another D.C. writer where she reported that a male friend (and he's only a friend) called out her name during the sex act with his girlfriend.  The girlfriend called the blogess screaming at her about this, and the debate centered around how  one handles this.  The consensus was, get over it.  You can read the original blog entry at:

While we were at the bar, my friends were teasing me about my baby panda passion and the Panda.cam viewing and it was decided they would invent a black and white drink called "Panda.cam" in honor of the baby.  We needed things that would float for a layered drink.  The closest we could come to "black" was actually dark brown:  Kahlua, and the white was Godiva White Chocolate liqueur.  Portions were about 50/50...it wasn't rocket science, and the bartender did  a slow pour to layer it into a highball glass.
