What a weird name for a cocktail. Well I guess all cocktails have weird names but why does this one jump out at me as being overly odd? Are they referring Basketball were you slam dunk if your have legs like an Acme product. Is it Dunk like dunking a tea bag, the thing is you don't dunk anything into this drink. Dunk in that they can't spell drunk and by the time you finish the drink you will be misspelling it too?
Could it have been some bloke like Austintatious Dunk who first thought of the drink and instead of giving it a name like "Shagging on a Tombstone" he decided to call it after himself. Maybe the maker thought that drinking this was like dunking you head in a bucket of iced water.
What ever the case you can be sure that if you drink it a few times then you will be dunking into dreamland.
60ml Gin
30ml Dry Vermouth
22ml Galliano
10ml Blue Curacao
As you can see, no mixers. Where are the things to soften this drink? none. They when on holidays. Home alone, but unlike that washed up child actor this drink does leave you with some talent. On first sip, your tongue rials back like a horse in a snake pit. You are beginning to wonder what the hell you have got yourself into. But then you can taste it. Hmm, its like a Martini but all this lolly flavour though it. Sure, it burns my taste buds off but I want to try more. This is getting better as I go or is it that my tongue is now a smouldering wreckage letting anything go past?
It is a nice drink but not definitely not something to have on a hot summers day to quench you thirst. Maybe a pre diner drink or an after dinner drink. I don't know. How do you decide were a drink goes in the Dinner spectrum? Have you had wine or other drinks that say this is good with fish marinated in essence of banana leaves and coated in a lite crumb made of the ear wax of a wilder beast?
Pre dinner Drinks, Post dinner drinks, I must say I have no real idea where to put this one but if you try it let me know.
Now to invent the Shagging on a Tombstone.
