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).

Sound.

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm sonic screwdriver...

Something to research this weekend I think...

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

But how would you add that to a cocktail?

I suppose you could tune the glasses & ice cubes, but setting up resonance might curdle the orange.

[munchkinott.livejournal.com]

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!

[ihavecake.livejournal.com]

Best combination of tags. Ever.

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

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...

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

*Grins* That sounds like a challenge :)

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Figure out what a K-9 is for me!

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Trouble is, when you add Blue Curacao to an OJ based drink, it turns green. It's also not heavy/dense enough to create the Tequila Sunrise effect.

Hm, I'll ask Heidi on Friday, she's experimenting with cocktails a lot.

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*

[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?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Not this then? http://www.k9-quencher.com/

[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]

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. ;-)

[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]

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.

[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.

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

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

[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. :-\

[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?

[feanelwa.livejournal.com]

Shout at it, of course :)

[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]

D'oh!

Humming down a straw (like playing the kazoo) would get the sound *into* the drink.

[feanelwa.livejournal.com]

And if you flattened the end of it, it would sound really funny too :)

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

So long as it's a 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.

[pink-weasel.livejournal.com]

He has a tail too?

*sighs*

[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. ¬.¬

[munchkinott.livejournal.com]

A very nice helmet...

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Should ask xambrius too, really. All things considered :)

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Would you like some butter for that crumpet?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if his knowledge of cocktail ingredients matches that of his Dr Who trivia but you might get lucky. :o)

[dr-wez.livejournal.com]

You just squirt some soda/champagne/coke into the cocktail and let it fizz satisfyingly, surely?

[dr-wez.livejournal.com]

How about a Special-K-9?

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Nah; I don't like soggy cereal. Unless your Amazing Pulsating Brain can come up with some way of retaining the crunch?

[puddingcat.livejournal.com]

Oooh. With champagne, you could either call that a screwdriver with champagne, or a Bucks Fizz with vodka. That would have a kick :)

[dr-wez.livejournal.com]

Assuming that the milk is refridgerated, coating the cereal in chocolate might work. That's how they keep Cornetto cones crunchy in spite of their being filled with moist, tasty ice-cream, I think.

Mmmm. Moist, tasty ice-cream. Definitely pulsating-brain food.

[dr-wez.livejournal.com]

I'd prefer a Rum Spritzer, I think, but in all probability I'm just sick and wrong.
