I've long wanted to develop the Shirley Temple Black but I haven't figured out whether it was a Shirley Temple with a shot of dark creme de cacao or with a shot of Black Bush.
A bartender (female) and the cocktail waitresses at a bar I used to call home, tired of being leeringly asked for Slow Comfortable Screw invented the Long Slow Screw in the Back Seat of a Golden Cadillac. I never did find out what was in it.

Black Russian
We found ourselves drinking our black Russians too easily and decided we needed to rough the drink up a little. We discovered that we got a different price if we described the Black Mandarin as a Black Russian with orange juice or as a Screwdriver with Kahlua.

Ooh! I used to drink Golden Cadillacs; they're delicious! Though my drink of choice remains a grasshopper--speaking of unappetizing names. Thanks again, Sweetie! I'd be pretty reluctant to order most of the drinks on your list. I did notice that a couple actually have a bit of relevance. For ex., Slow Comfortable Screw seems to be sloe gin and Southern Comfort added to a screwdriver. Slow Comfortable Screw Against the Wall seems to be the same, added to a Harvey Wallbanger.

I have to admit that I like a drink with a famously sissy nameHey Alex, I love Shirley Temples too! I always drink 'em when invited for dinner at Swiss Chalet (chicken 'n' ribs chain, for them as doesn't have it). And your mention of "silk panties" reminded me of a story told me by a boyfriend, long ago. He was a waiter and once served a table of guys who asked him to bring them each a "six forty-nine." He did not know what this was (apart from the name of, um, a national lottery? or provincial? not sure - anyway, it's known as Lotto 649 or just 649). They told him that a 649 is always different, because it is created by counting six bottles in from the right on the first row of bottles behind the bar, then four bottles in from the left on the next row, then nine bottles in from the right again on the next row. (Or I might have got my lefts and rights mixed up. You can do it either way, I guess....) This makes for some pretty unlikely combinations at times. I tried it at a bar in Valdez, Alaska, once (needless to say, I had to explain about the whole Canadian lottery thing!), and what I got was revolting! think it was something like a mixture of pear brandy, pineapple liqueur and blue curacao or something weird like that. But the fellers this boyfriend was serving that day were luckier, and got something drinkable, and decided to remember the concoction and have it again sometime....And they called it "silk panties." I went and had a look at this recipe you offer, and it only has two ingredients, so clearly isn't the same....(Before I looked I was all excited, thinking I knew the origin of the drink! wrong....  )
