Quadraphonic Cocktails...

[MrSmithers]

I got quite a good book recently called Booze & Vinyl, that matches classic albums with different cocktails. I haven't properly tested the science yet but it's something fun to look forward to...

Anyway it got me thinking it would be quite a blast to have a 70's inspired cocktail evening listening to quad albums... You could have a selection of drinks that were popular then - Snowball, Harvey Wallbanger, Old Fashioned (my fave), Pina Colada.... Not to mention the Babysham and Blue Nun... Maybe even make a fondue?!

Throw on some 70's clobber with a heavy dose of Old Spice and get groovin' away to some great sonics...

But then I also thought why not make some bespoke Quadraphonic cocktails of their own too?! Here's what I came up with so far... What would you choose?!

Dark Side Of The Moon
Dark Rum, Ginger Beer, Bitters, Skittles

Firebird
Vodka, Tabasco, Tomita Juice

Band On The Rum
Light Rum, Creme De Menthe, Cola (Served in a pint glass, daily)

Eat A Peach

What other albums do you think could make good cocktails?!

When I listen to "The Nightfly" and want a real Steely adult beverage, I turn to my concoction of the Cuban Breeze:
Blend together: Coconut Rum, Fresh lime juice, La Lechera Dulce de leche & crushed ice.
Must match amounts to your tastes!

If I was still drinking I would grab this one

Let's light up the night, 'cause, they only come out at night!

If Dutton Vocalion got Derringer done, could they also get this one?

Kahlúa with half 'n half and a twist of lime.

Doesn't matter what - gin or vodka. Maybe Guinness once in a while.

How about Santana “Abraxas”.

With a concoction my wife came up with so she wouldn’t have to babysit a drink.

A shot of tequila with a splash of margarita mix. She calls it a margarita shot.
