bad ideas; alcohol; acquired tastes
Holy crap. I tried making a boozy knockoff version of our local cafe Coffee Science's notorious "Chaos Theory" drink: cold brew, lemon juice, tonic water, ginger, cider vinegar, muddled black cherries, turmeric, and cayenne.
I didn't have the turmeric or ginger and wasn't in the mood for the cayenne, and I only had maraschino syrup and Rose's key lime. But with a little cheap vodka and some local chocolate-almond cold brew ultraconcentrate, it's surprisingly good.
It's still got that Willy Wonka quality that appealed to me about the original: it's practically a different flavor with every taste. The flavors beautifully *don't* mingle. It's like sipping a furry con: nobody's friends with everybody but everybody's friends with somebody.
