Name a drink at my bar after a rock idol/icon/instrument/event/whatever !

So, I'm opening a 'rock' bar in a couple of weeks and I need to name at least 10 different shots for our menu. This are a few I've got so far:

TAGO MAGO
Triple Sec, orange liquor, gin

HUNKY DORY
brandy, rum, granadine, curaçao, lemon juice.

LIZARD KING
Vodka, green mint, frappé

Please help me out thinking and choosing some names. If you ever come by my city I'll let you drink as many shots you want for free of the drink you baptized.

Power Windows
Vodka, Gin, Blue Pucker

LEARNING TO CRAWL
Jaegermeister, Galliano, Grenadine

ZUMA
Tequila, habanero sauce, asprin

lol you don't actually have to actually list the ingredients of the drink although it makes the thread a bit more fun. You can invent and name your own drinks if you want to, if I like them enough I'll steal them ;)

If it helps these are actually the nameless shots we'll be selling:

* Brandy, mineral water, cherry
* gin, vermouth dry, green mint
* gin, green mint, mineral water
* triple sec, vodka, green mint
* white rum, vodka, mango juice, natural syrup, mint leaf, cherry
* white curaçao, lemon juice, lemon soda
* pineapple juice, gin, white rum, pineapple bits.
* rum, brandy, vodka, orange juice, lemon juice, grapefruit juice, petroleum.
* coconut cream, baileys, cinnamon
* lemon, coffee, vodka
* black cherry jell-o + vodka
* Baileys, Amaretto, Kahlua

I'd name the 'ZUMA' shot Flaming Lips.

white curaçao, lemon juice, lemon soda = BLONDE ON BLONDE

rum, brandy, vodka, orange juice, lemon juice, grapefruit juice, petroleum = RAW POWER

Baileys, Amaretto, Kahlua = TOUCH ME I'M SICK

Skynnyrd:

151, Southern Comfort, OJ - shake it on ice and serve in a rocks glass like an Alabama Slammer.

FRESH FRUIT FOR ROTTING VEGETABLES:
black cherry jell-o + vodka

There needs to be a fortified wine based cocktail called ARCHANGEL THUNDERBIRD.

...whole thread of drinks named after songs by cocteau twins....

^this site knows me!

oh wait I didn't read thread properly. How about:

white curaçao, lemon juice, lemon soda: "sour times"

lemon, coffee, vodka: "start me up"

I would happily drink a drink called either THE SOFT BULLETIN or HIT TO DEATH IN THE FUTURE HEAD but you might also want to think about BLISTER IN THE SUN

black cherry Jell-O + vodka = "Black Betty"

* coconut cream, baileys, cinnamon = "Charlotte Sometimes"

* Baileys, Amaretto, Kahlua = "Foxy Lady"

* rum, brandy, vodka, orange juice, lemon juice, grapefruit juice, petroleum. = "Midnight Oil"

* Brandy, mineral water, cherry = CHERI CHERI LADY

* Brandy, mineral water, cherry = "Cherry Bomb"

xp: damn

well, Runaways beat the shit out of Modern Talking, so..

* pineapple juice, gin, white rum, pineapple bits. = "Madness"

* white rum, vodka, mango juice, natural syrup, mint leaf, cherry = "Lucille"

* gin, vermouth dry, green mint = "Money"

I should do some actual work at some time, maybe

I'd order a "Money."

*white rum, vodka, dr pepper = "some actual work"

Guinness, Red Bull, 5-hour Energy, vodka in a breakaway glass = "the Keith Moon"

White Light/White Heat
3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds
Pretzel Logic
Knockin' on Heaven's Door

I more or less stopped drinking years ago, so no idea what you'd put in them. I find almost any name works, no matter how nonsensical. "I'd like a Chainsaw the Horse, please, and an Anti-Pleasure Dissertation for my friend."

well, Runaways beat the shit out of Modern Talking, so..

lol I wish this actually happened.

* lemon, coffee, vodka -

Meyer lemons - any non-sucky famous Mayer/Meyer/Mayers/Meyers to choose from?

First of all, you totally have to give me royalties for using this (in true rock star style), because I assure you it will be a huge success:

THE ALTAMONT COCKTAIL

How about SEX DWARF?

Sex Dwarves on the Beach

* gin, green mint, mineral water = "Everything's Gone Green"

white rum, vodka, mango juice, natural syrup, mint leaf, cherry = GAY DAD

* white curaçao, lemon juice, lemon soda = "Poison" (you get a threefer on that between the band, the Alice Cooper song and the Bell Biv Devoe song)

BURNING AIRLINES

BABY LEMONADE

SAFE AS MILK

rum, brandy, vodka, orange juice, lemon juice, grapefruit juice, petroleum.

if you don't name this "THE IDIOT" you are really missing out on a revenue stream, srsly

You could have a whole 13th Floor Elevators themed menu: Splash 1, Don't Fall Down, Leave Your Body Behind, Rollercoaster, Levitation, Slip Inside This House.

Supernaut

if you don't use the Idiot, plz name it The Ian MacKaye

aw, I liked "Midnight Oil" because it has petroleum in it, do you see?

SAFE AS MILK

Should be the new rock name for a White Russian.

you could start with that and then add a subtle peanut flavor so that it's like an abba zabba

BLACKHEART

I like "baby lemonade"

nice

VH made for this:

Dance The Night Away
Panama
Drop Dead Legs

ooh the Dolls:

Personality Crisis
Babylon
Jet Boy

the well bourbon should be called cruisers creek

Oh shit I need to resurrect/pay attention to that ITR thread it is full of useful pro tips

I wanted to try that! But it was $$ so I bought cheap beer instead

I tried a glass once, based on the name alone, but was disappointed. Then again, I'm not a dark beer person at all (more IPA), so I have no one to blame but myself.

Phew first day opening today. It was fucking exhausting. Full house though and people said they loved the place and the drinks, really slow service but theres a learning curve for everything i guess.

I ended up using several shot names from here so cheers and thank you ilxors!! There are some great ones later on the thread but didnt get the chance to use them, will try them in the near future. here's what made it so far: (black betty, foxy lady, supernaut, money, keith mooner and barracuda) most popular shot today was the hunky dory. Ill post pics of the place soon.

Word of advice dont open a bar ever. Good money but its not fun at all, at least the first few days. Ill go bald over the stress of the past few days.

In all seriousness, best thread ever.

"The Alexgeddyneil":

* lemon, coffee, vodka

Has anyone said rum sodomy & the lash yet? Re beefheart, there is a variety if tomato called couer de bouef so you could make a regular bloody Mary as long as you lied about what kind of tomato you were juicing.

you should name your jaegerblasters something like stratoblaster or teleblaster.

i would call that an lj in a red dress, respectfully.

(nothing but) flowers - an all-floral liqueur concoction, like st. germain & creme de violette & whatnot. sounds horrible.

would drink a bitchin' camaro, regardless of what was in it.

uh I meant coeur de boeuf above obv :-/

me and my boeuf, and my boeuf, boeuf, ridin

Moka, where is your place? IIRC you're in Mexico (or did I make that up)?

Yes, aguascalientes, mexico. Center of the state, center of the country. We're inside the San Marcos fair perimeter, google out 'feria de san marcos' to get an idea of how crowded the area gets. The fair lasts for a month and begins april 19 this year. I'm afraid of the volume of people we'll have to deal with.

yay moka!

ILX WORLDFAP AT MOKA'S BAR EVERYBODY

The Pickleback

This is a real thing.
I drank several last night.
I want to make it clear that I did not order them.
The bartender set them up as thanks for defusing an altercation.
Also, they are freaking delicious.

would drink

* Baileys, Amaretto, Kahlua

is almost a mudslide, and def has a 1978 Stevie Nicks black-lace shawl appeal, so, "The Landslide"
