I'll have my debris rainbow-flagged please

One hundred years ago, today, San Francisco suffered her great earthquake that, in my mind, has been synonymous with the City by the Bay.

Real odometer anniversaries make me wish that I knew about them earlier to have planned a party have to themed around the event.

So I thought that I'd google alcoholic beverages called "Earthquake."

I found one from Recipezaar. (Cut and pasted here)

1 1/2 ounces tequila
1 teaspoon grenadine
2 dashes aromatic bitters
2 strawberries
1 orange slice

Mix in blender for 15 sec at high with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with fruit.

"Eh," I thought.

So, I found a Earthquake Cocktail on a Creole Recipe Page, aptly named Gumbo Pages (The link is midway on the page.) I thought, "Ah, Nawlins, she who names drinks after natural disasters - some of which whoop her ass - she will have a great recipe." I cut and pasted for your ease of reading.

By the way, the recipe actually comes from the Savoy Hotel Cocktail Book, circa 1930.

The Earthquake Cocktail.
1 jigger gin
1 jigger whiskey
1 jigger absinthe

Shake well and serve in a chilled cocktail glass.

"Eww, gin and whiskey and absinthe together! Gross." I bet you're feeling your own personal earthquake after that.

I thought that I would find a fun new drink (though, maybe next time I'm in Prague, I'll order one of the Savoy Earthquake) but I was a little let down. I'm just gonna take me a Hurricane and throw in some chucks on vodka soaked fruit and call that an Earthquake.

Unless you know of any good drinks?
