Link from snapesbabe; idea started by me in pink_weasel's LJ (if a Screwdriver is vodka & orange, what else does it need to be a Sonic Screwdriver? I reckon blue Curacao, which should sink & give a blue-glowy Tequila Sunrise-type effect).

You know, ever since that thread started up I've been preoccupied with 'but how do you make a Tenth?'

I've got as far as a Scotch base but it definitely needs sweetening up and nerdifying (and I'm trying to avoid adding 3 shots of Triple Sec becuz ZOMG v. MATHY).

I like fandoms that get me drunk. YAY!

See, I was thinking along the lines of adding one $thing per regen, starting with a single malt for One. Course, you'd end up losing large chunks of your life, but that's just another way of time travelling...

Or the "Perfect Ten" - Ten single shots. The best single malt you can find, the best brandy, gin, port, vodka...

The regen thing works until you start to remember Cushing (around and about the 8th shot) and BUGGER! You have to start drinking again from the beginning.

A Tenth, I'm starting to think, should taste like aniseed balls - so that'd be scotch n' double sambucco n' lemonaaaaaade.

Good grief... *drools*

[munchkinott.livejournal.com]

I'd have one. Actually, I think ONE might just be enough. *crosses eyes*

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Nah. One was old & saggy :p

How about - black sambuca, lemonade & a good squeeze of lime? Or would coke make a better mixer, for the stimulant factor?

[munchkinott.livejournal.com]

One was musty and saggy and old. I was discussing the number of drinks required.

If we're getting into hardcore stimulants - scotch n' lucozade might work. Though that's still leaving out the aniseed ballsness, and Ten is a sweetie.

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

The hardcore stuff is TVRs - tequila, vodka & red bull. Yummy :)

Galliano is sweet, and *very* lovely. Sticky, too - needs a lot of licking to get off your fingers.

[munchkinott.livejournal.com]

I could see Ten in a TVR.

...

Though that image is private and personal, and I really shouldn't let it out in public. *coughs*

Replacing one measure of Scotch with Glayva should sticky things up a bit. The main problem we've got here is the maltness. *strokes chin* And finding a recipe for a drink that equals Tennant's capacity for bucketing yer brain.

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

If brain-bucketing is the only aim, why not just down cans of Tennant's with Scotch chasers?

Now, why doesn't he camouflage the TARDIS as a Sagaris? Hmm?

[munchkinott.livejournal.com]

why not just down cans of Tennant's with Scotch chasers?

Because that's the fast way to unconsciousness. A Ten should not knock a girl out, it should tingle and slide down leaving a sense of total euphoria - THEN when you wake up the next morning you're left wondering where the policeman's helmet came from and why you're sooooooo wrecked. *crosses eyes*

Now, why doesn't he camouflage the TARDIS as a Sagaris?

Oh. God. Oooooooooh god. *faints*

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

So long as it's a nice helmet...

[munchkinott.livejournal.com]

A very nice helmet...

[ihavecake.livejournal.com]

A Ten should not knock a girl out, it should tingle and slide down leaving a sense of total euphoria

In that case I feel a double Kahlua with a dash of cream should do the trick.

[munchkinott.livejournal.com]

That's skirting dangerously close to a Mexican Blowjob.

Just don't ASK what I've been drinking these last 9 years. ¬.¬

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Pernod! Or Raki, if that's more easily available.

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

I'll have you know I've never Cushed in my life :p

Unless I just haven't remembered it yet...

I'm not keen on the idea of mixing aniseed & scotch. Black Sambuca & clear spirits could work, though. I take it a Ten has to be a *cough* long drink?

[munchkinott.livejournal.com]

You mean you've never sat there with a mouthful of Six and thought 'hang on, what happened to the Hammer regen?!'. Dude, you have SO been going to the wrong conventions. ;-)

I think I could get away with scotch/aniseed mainly 'cause erm... Prior experience in a student bar hath taught me I can sip a J&D n' ice all night go straight into sambucco slammers and NOT have a hangover the next morning.

Deffo on the long drink. Something with a straw that can be sucked on and savoured for agggggges and also goes down well with a bag o' Prawn Cocktail crisps, 'cause yo! Classy. ;-)

You mean you've never sat there with a mouthful of Six

Not of Six, no...

Hmm. I want to work Chambord (or Midori) & Benedictine in here somehow. If we're avoiding hangovers, it'd have to be tequila sunrises or vodka - I'm too old to feel fine after anything else.

[munchkinott.livejournal.com]

I can only remember Seven and Four from the DrW mid-nintie shots line up. *scratches head* Six was some kind of mixed fruit liquer. Seven was a Bailey's & chocolate and Four was neat vodka with the obligatory jellybaby.

I don't try to avoid hangovers. I just know if I drink something that makes my tongue feel fuzzy I'm going to have a bastard of one the next morning.

Midori would be tagging onto a Three, 'cause I think a Five had some kind of apple-flavoured stuff in it wot weren't cider. *thinks again*

Y'know all of this reminds me that Trekkies really got the cherry end of the cocktail stick. :-\
