There are cocks on the loose!!
Cocktails, that is...
These are the "Top 10 Crazy Cocktails, Creative Drinks," according to... someone. Shit, you'd have to pay me to drink these fuckin things.
1.
World's Priciest Cocktail
Trump Tower World Bar
New York
The height of liquid absurdity, this drink costs $50 before tip, but would you expect anything less than ''the best'' from a Donald Trump-owned joint? Your half C-note gets you a blend of Remy XO, Pineau des Charentes, Veuve Clicquot and fruit juices topped with a floater of 23-karat liquid gold
2.
Garlic Mashed Potato Martini
Lola's
West Hollywood, Calif.
James Bond material it's not: ''A potato vodka martini please -- mashed, not stirred.'' Still, the drink's no Hungry-Man meal. While Lola's patrons love their Chopin potato vodka garnished with garlic-clove-stuffed olives, they still look to the restaurant's entree list for supper.
3.
Avocado Margarita
Curra's Grill
Austin, Texas
Attention smoothie freaks: Curra's starts with a standard frozen margarita slush, but before they fire up the blender they toss in a quartered avocado and some fresh cilantro. The result? A nutritious pick-me-up you can sip through a straw or shovel onto a tortilla chip. Talk about a liquid lunch.
4.
Lobster Lemon Martini
Motif
Dana Point, Calif.
Start with an ounce of fresh lobster tail in a martini glass. Now pour Ketel One Citron shaken with a splash of triple sec and lime juice over the lobster. Sprinkle with fresh lemon and lime zest and then top it off with Osetra caviar. Fork over your $12.50 and, um, enjoy .
5.
The Warp Core Breach
Quarks Bar and Restaurant
Las Vegas
After a hard day’s convention, ravenous nerds adjourn to Quark's, a 'Star Trek'-themed restaurant in the Vegas Hilton. Trekkie tipplers who ''can't... contain... their thirst!'' order this steaming red bowl stocked with four different Bacardi rums, Razzmatazz, SoBe Power Drink and dry ice.
6.
Baby Octopus Saketini
TenPenh
Washington
Five parts vodka to one part sake, this 'tini is potent enough to be considered crazy on strength alone. But it's the pickled baby octopus that the bar staff at stylish Asian-inspired eatery TenPenh serve as the drink's garnish that clinches its place on our list.
7.
Peanut Butter Cuptini
Amsterdam
Phoenix
This girly staple of Amsterdam's Martinis & Manicures Night boasts creamy peanut butter on the inside, chocolate on the outside and vodka all over. Not in a Reese's-type mood? Try the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Martini while your nails are drying.
8.
The Black Lung
Cathode Ray
Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
''When life gives you a smoking ban, make a Nicotini'' goes a favorite quote from Ft. Lauderdale's Larry Wald. Persecuted puffers flock to Wald's bar, Cathode Ray, to order up the Black Lung. The drink mixes a mystery concoction of nicotine-infused vodka with a darkening Kahlua shot.
9.
Scorpion Bowl Mai Tai
Le Passage
Chicago
Watch your bartender dump brandy, light rum, almond syrup, and fruit juices into your Tiki-style Scorpion Bowl. Observe as he floats a small receptacle of Bacardi 151 in the middle of your ancient Polynesian libation. Stay cool as he sets the 151 aflame. Enjoy your blazing bowl
10.
Oyster Willie Tini
Willie G's
Denver
Adventuresome drinkers trimming their happy hour sails at Willie G's have come to love -- or at least stomach -- the Willie Tini. This not-so-seaworthy drink combines Absolut Peppar vodka, cocktail sauce and a Blue Point oyster from Chesapeake Bay. Argh, maties.
