DrinkQuest

I officially submit the name The Chaiyonnara.

Thanks Zeeck.  Let’s DO THIS.

I think this name is a perfect way to start things off.  It’s fun and exciting and it says “lets have some chai tea latte” and also “YOU’RE ABOUT TO GET DRUNK N SHIT!”

I should also officially recognize the other names you submitted on google+:

• The What Can Brown Do For You
• The CinnaBooyah
• The Polish Indian

The What Can Brown Do For You might have a big chance in this one.  There is some clamoring out there from people who want all of these drinks to somehow relate to poo.  They’re 1 for 1.  COULD THEY BE 2 for 2!?

The Polish Indian I had to have explained to me.  But once I did, I loved it.  I think this and Chaiyonnara are our clear frontrunners here.  In case anyone else needs to be keyed in: Chai is indian, vodka is polish.  The one downfall: is vodka definitely more polish than it is russian? I don’t know.

CinnaBooyah is solid, but I have trouble ever saying “booyah”.  I just feel like an idiot.  You really gotta own it, and I can’t do it.  But this isn’t about me.  This is about you, JEREMY.

THIS IS A SOLID LIST.  LET’S GET SOME MORE!

<p>Pulp Fiction<br/>
Penny Hardaway<br/>
Blood All Over (Based on ICE T talking about OJ on youtube, search &#8220;Ice-T on OJ Simpson&#8221;)</p>

Thanks again, Travioli.  Let’s JAM.

Pulp Fiction is pretty sweet.  I’m sure the movie is relavant in like 8 million ways, and pulp is a perfect way to reference the OJ.  Also the drink makes you feel kind of uneasy like the movie when you look at it, but then you drink it and you’re like OH SHIT THIS IS THE BOMB!

Penny Hardaway is MAD SOLID.  Penny played for the Magic and the Heat, a team and city already established as important referents in DrinkQuest.  Also both Miami and Orlando are in Florida, where oranges are from, and Penny Hardaway is an African America Athlete, like OJ Simpson.  Furthermore, the color of the drink is much like that of a penny.

Blood All Over: I think this speaks for itself:

<p>The OJ Pekoe</p>

Thanks, A.  Let’s SPIT.

This is probably the most intelligent suggestion so far.

For those unaware, Pekoe refers to Orange Pekoe, a type of black tea.  Of course the “Orange” in Orange Pekoe makes it a worthy reference but does not in any way refer to an orange flavor.  Thus, a supplemental “OJ” is suffixed to the name.  Brilliant.

My only concern is that the name almost outdoes the drink.  The name is worthy of a drink consumed exclusively by the elite.  I don’t know if that’s what this drink is.

If I didn’t know any better, judging by the cleverness of the title, your implied knowledge that I am a tea man, and the implication that you yourself are one, I’d guess “Anonymous” is none other than my own father.

<p>The Black And Yellow</p>

THIS IS AWESOME.

Except for one thing. It doesn’t really differentiate itself from the Arnold Palmer, which is also a mixture of black tea, and yellow juice (or ade, rather).  Also, for every positive feeling I have about that song, I have an equally intense negative feeling about it as well.

THIS DRINK IS A MIXTURE BUT IT HAS NO ROOM FOR MIXED FEELINGS!

<p>The Ornald Balmer (Or Bomber)<br/>
The Citrus Mistress<br/>
OrangeCHOOSE</p>

Thanks K-Pax.  Let’s dance.

These all pack a punch that’s rivaled by few, if any.  They score extremely high on the Badass Scale™, and the Fun-To-Say Scale®.

The Ornald Balmer just makes me wanna drink it right now.  I’ll add the suggestion that it’s spelled and pronounced “Balmer” when virgin and “Bomber” when alcoholic.

The Citrus Mistress is beautiful.

OrangeCHOOSE - should this be pronounced like the word “choose”, or does it rhyme with “juice”?  This is important to my understanding and analysis.
