The CA's Whining & Dining blog asks "What's your family drink"? and goes on to describe the infamous Jager-Bomb, which is (apparently) the "family drink" of someone she knows.
Okay, first off...
Who really has a "family drink?" I mean, I know alcoholism tends to run in families, but isn't that just being a little brazen about it?
Secondly, of that select boozy lot with "family drinks," which of them settled on the Jager Bomb as the one cocktail that the family would enjoy in unison at gatherings and such? I can just see grandpa...
"what's that black stuff?"
"Grampa, that's Jagermeister. It tastes like licorice and gets you trashed."
"Uh okay, what's that stuff that looks like fizzy piss?"
"That's Red Bull. It tastes like fizzy piss and it makes you all wired and hyper."
"Sounds delicious, set me and Gam Gam up a couple"
The term "family drink" sounds like it should have some tradition behind it... Like "we drink MEAD at our reunions in homage to our viking ancestor Sven the Horrible..."
A Jager Bomb tradition could only go back as far as, oh I don't know, 2006?
Whatever, I'm still giggling at the thought of jittery, wasted aunts and uncles.
