I'm throwing a car themed movie night. Watching an underdetermined movie (suggestions welcome, but keep in mind that I will be the only one in attendance with a love for vehicles, so...).
We also need suggestions for your flavorite adult beverages with a car theme.
so far we have:
Cadillac margaritas, And version of a Sidecar, called a RaceCar. Wife also had an idea of a Choclate martini with a white chocolate rim and calling it a white wall. Oh, and we might get some moonshine and just slap a nascar sticker on the bottle.
In reply to John Welsh :
I've been told this is "offensive" these days and they must now be called an "Irish beer and cream", takes all the Luster out of it.
edit; yeah it's in the Wiki you linked. I don't have a problem with calling them that, but I can see how someone would get "offended".
A Chappaquiddick. It's one part Shirley Temple, 3 parts scotch. The type of thing that could cause an unsuspecting young woman to find herself in quite a bit predicament.
oh this looks fun. It's called the Mater Oil Slick. (From Disney's Cars)

Lmao. Thanks.

Irish car bombs?
Offensive, I can see that but perhaps a context thing with a movie suggestion...
Not a car movie but it does feature a lot of old iron and a lot of them blown up.

I tried this, but I am 1: Not sure it's actually named after the Corvette engine and 2: a bit amazed at the strength and how it makes your nose feel. You have to not breathe in while sipping.

Speaking of, does anyone recall the name of the law firm retained by one Ted Kennedy immediately following the incident at Chappaquiddick?
Hint: It may have been Winer, Diner, Dicker and Dunker.
Rolls Royce
Ingredients
25ml gin
12ml dry vermouth
12ml sweet vermouth
1 teaspoon Benedictine
Lemon peel (to garnish)
Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker over ice and shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon peel.
All I know is that if no one makes and sells a 170 proof grain alcohol called "e85", they are missing a great opportunity.

A martini with gak in it isn't a martini, it's just a cocktail for sorority girls.
A proper martini is 3oz gin or vodka, 1/2 vermouth and an olive.
If you put an onion in it, it's a gibson, not a martini.
My second favourite drink in the whole wide world is a dry Grey Goose martini with an olive.
I cam here to say "Sidecar" but when someone opens with "chocolate martini" I know the world is going to hell.

A "Black and Tan" is apparently offensive now because of some history with the Irish.
A local restaurant called their house beer "Albino Rhino" for years but some person managed to be offended by it and got the name changed. She argued that they were making fun of people with albinism and that it was a disability.
Leave it to grm to turn a car-ish discussion into political correctness banter on the first page.

Hey now, two sorority girls will be in attendance, and they need something to take the edge off of whatever fast and furious abomination we put on.

Yeah, please start your own thread about politics crap. No one wants to hear it.

Back in another lifetime my friends and I would mix Tang and vodka together.
We called it "boat gas".

Reroute the hose from the nozzles to wherever you are for automatic dispensing.
