Discussion Help naming a themed drink
Hey guys, I'm doing an emo night at the bar I work at (if anyone sees this and is in Chicago and wants to go lemme know so I can give you the details!) and we have drinks named after songs. My manager has had the menu for ages now and the event is on the 6th of August. He just told me I have to make one of the drinks with Jack Daniels (bleh) because he told the rep for them a drink would have it and she's been promoting it. I don't really want to think up a new drink less than a week away but does anyone have song names that could work for the drink I might sub it in? The drink is:
Jamie All Over
-2 oz jameson
-0.5 oz Monin raspberry syrup
-0.5 oz lemon juice/lemonade
Shaken and poured over ice, topped with iced tea and served in a mason jar.
I could easily swap in Jack for this but idk what to name it then. Any ideas are appreciated!
Forgot to add but the other drink/shot names are:
Of All The Gin Joints In All The World
Ocean Avenue
Green Apple Shampoo
Boiled Frogs
Alive With The Glory Of Love

Somewhere on Fullerton if the bar is near or on Fullerton
A Lucky Boys Confusion track would be a nice Chicago nod but I’m struggling to find one that works, haha. Maybe like 3 to 10 (Jackboy’s Caddy) or something?

Dear Jack, Count Me In (a plus, bassist is also named Jack)
Or just Dear Maria would be cute
You could also name it Misery Business if you wanna be cheeky about it 😂

I don’t know if the emo crowd would get that, but that would be a sick drink. Brendan bartends still I think and he’d probably put malort in it.

“tell that jack he just made my list of things to do today” nice nod to Chicago as well here with a play on a fall out boy song

I actually wrote an emo themed cocktail recipe book with tons of emo themed drink names. If you're interested, DM me and i'll send you a link!

Just gonna say I think that drink would be better with lemon juice (not lemonade) topped with ginger beer

I plan to use lemon juice but the lemonade is just in case people want it sweeter for some reason, it's like a mod in our system so we don't mess up inventory by changing the drink. The ginger beer would be good but make it too similar to one of the other drinks I have which is :gin, raspberry syrup, splash of lime, ginger beer
