I ran out of vodka. Needed to rebuild on available resources.
Resulting drink looked like the dark toxic elixir flooding the NO
punchbowl, but had the sweet taste of future hopes.

Nawlin's Floodwater

In a FEMA drinking cup, fill with donated 7-11 ice cubes.

Add:
4 oz gin
4 oz pomegranate juice
2-3 dashes Licor 43 (scarce as Federal aid)
2 dashes Peychaud's bitters (look for a bottle floating by)

Mix and garnish with promises of Bouche investigation.

Imaginative and sounds tasty! I wonder if you're the first one to come up
with a commemorative drink?

I'm not so arrogant as to believe I'm the first to come up with whatever
is is lying (floating?) around the liquor cabinet, maybe just the
first to publish.

Well, not so much that, but what you concocted seemed so apropos to NO.

Steve Dahl serves up recipe with foul taste

September 1, 2005

BY ROBERT FEDER CHICAGO SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST

"You've got to hand it to Steve Dahl: Even after all these years, radio's
original bad boy still knows how to push the envelope of bad taste to the
absolute limit.

While other broadcasters struggle to convey the enormous extent of Hurricane
Katrina's toll, Dahl is mining the tragedy for comedy.

On his WCKG-FM (105.9) afternoon show Tuesday, he mused about creating a
drink inspired by reports of "floating corpses" in New Orleans. And on his
Web log Wednesday, he elaborated.

"Okay, so maybe now I feel a little guilty that I wanted to see New Orleans
completely covered in water," Dahl wrote. "You have to admit, though, that
the helicopter rescues and the looting make for some interesting TV. I guess
I understand the looting for food and water. If I were flooded out of my
home, I think I would crave a 32-ounce bottle of Dasani water and a can of
SpaghettiOs myself. But trying on clothes while standing knee deep in
floodwater? That seems a bit much. I'm still waiting on the floating
corpses.

"To that end, I have sent away for five pounds of Chocolate Babies to act as
'floaters' in the new drink I'll be inventing this week: The Floating
Corpse. ... I'm thinking Creme de Cacao, Kahlua, some rum, maybe a little
cream and a floating Chocolate Baby.

"Of course, I'll fine tune that and come up with a 'secret ingredient' or
two, but that's the general cocktail framework that I'm thinking of
presently. Sort of a Mudslide, without the mud. More of a Muddy Waters.

"Also, just for the record, the Chocolate Baby thing is not meant to be
racist in any way. Yes, there have been a lot of African Americans on TV
being rescued and the like, but they don't make anything other than
Chocolate Babies or Licorice Babies, and it seemed to me that chocolate was
less offensive. It's a judgment call. If they made Strawberry Babies, I
would have ordered five pounds of them too."
