Bipolar Cocktail
Here’s a cocktail that you mightn’t guess from its name at all. The cocktail was created by the Oak Room in New York City and was named after Mel Gibson.
Specifically, the drink was named in dubious honor of the drunken rants that he would often go off on. This is one case where having a cocktail named after you isn’t really a good thing at all.
The name choice is a bit unfortunate too, given that bipolar is being used in an insulating manner here, but it is a mental illness that can make life very difficult indeed.
The cocktail itself is as strange as the name. It relies on equal measures of vodka and gin, along with vermouth, club soda, and a splash of onion juice, and is served on the rocks.
