Ivy League booze?

[Erica]

The best red drink ever is cranberry and Malibu (Parrot Bay if Malibu is unavailable.) I suggested it to my mom, and now she's got the whole city of Naples, FL drinking it.

Why would you ruin perfectly good Parrot Bay by tainting it with cranberry juice?  PB on the rocks is all you need!

[dsr11]

Parrot Bay isn't exactly red....

[Erica]

Um, the cranberry is genius.

I think he was referring to Robb's post.  Parrot bay on the rocks is not red.

Yes, i know cranberry is.  I was referring to Robb '94's comment [Q]Author: Robb '94 (---.external.lmco.com)

[/Q] about PB on the rocks, which is NOT red (though it is tasty)

That one appears to have been created by someone with the last name 'cornell' and as a result has no relation to our alma matter.

How about a poll?  Would you drink a Cornell Cocktail based only on the ingredients?

Well, a better poll would be: Would you drink a Cornell Cocktail based on its name, knowing its ingredients?  (Or some other less wordy way to convey that thought.)

[nyc94]

I was figuring that most Faithful would at least try it based on the name alone.

Possible answers for your idea:
No
Yes
Yes, but only out of the Cleary Cup in Albany

It's the Whitelaw in Albany.  The Cleary spitoon is for RS champs.

Just for comparison purposes, here's the other Ivy cocktails that pertain to hockey playing schools:

Harvard (Brandy, Sweet Vermouth, Angostura Bitters, Sugar Syrup)

Princeton (Dry Gin, Port, Orange Bitters)

Yale (Dry Gin, Dry Vermouth, Orange Bitters, Sugar Syrup, Maraschino)

And the book also included other such popular favorites as Sweet Patootie, Kup's Indispensible, Golden Screw, Castle Dip and Bosom Caresser.

Just wondering, but having only been in Ithaca once before, about 20 years ago, is there a bar there known as "Peaches" or something that sounds similar?

[Robb \'94]

Ithaca bars I can remember from my era (90-94) in no particular order:

Dunbar's
Ruloff's
Johnny's
(Royal) Palms
Dino's
Clubhouse
Chapter House
Chariot (more of a pizza place, but they had a bar)
Ithaca Sports Club (bubble hockey!)

If there was someplace like "Peaches" it must have been REALLY good, because I don't even remember it.... ::coffee::  <---hangover

I don't remember Peaches, but wasn't there a bar called "Plums" on the Commons?

So what does the Yale Glee Club drink?
