Swine Flu Cocktail Has Become a Viral Hit
Vagabond writer Robert Haynes-Peterson of Examiner.com, and HalogenLife.com has made a statement with his Swine Flu Cocktail, which he is billing as the cocktail for “troubled times.”
Haynes-Peterson on the Swine Flu Cocktail: In the spirit of The Decameron, Masque of the Red Death and Bonfire of the Vanities, we defy the doomsayers and present the Swine Flu Cocktail. With a dash of Mexico, a splash of medicinal herbs, and a touch of pork (which the FDA says is fine to consume) for good measure, this drink will either cure you or make you not care.
Here is the recipe to make your very own Swine Flu Cocktails at home:
Wash glass with splash of Zwack (originally crafted in Hungary as a medicinal remedy). Discard (or drink) liquid.
- 1 shot bacon-infused bourbon
- 1/2 shot reposado or anejo tequila
- Juice of 1/4 muddled lemon
- Splash of limoncello (up to 1/2 shot)
Shake with ice (or stir), strain and pour over ice. Garnish with superfruit (blueberries, blackberries or mango slice)
Do not share the glass with others!
Sip through straw if you’re wearing a blue surgical mask.
