Dedication
This book is dedicated to all bartenders, those X-tra special people, and my X-tra loving partner and that X-tra Special Person, Ryan Peter Foley. Lets have wine and women, mirth and laughter, sermons and soda-water the day after.
Byron Lets have a great time, a lot of fun, and laughter, drink to laugh and have fun, but drink in moderation.
Lipshitz
Preface
The proverbial everybody and his brother, and maybe his mother too, has a favorite drink recipe. Thats something Ive learned over more than twenty years behind the bar as a pouring professional.
A lot of people and their brothers (but not usually their mothers too, not unless the family is on the order of the Borgias of Renaissance history) also seem to know what I call X-rated drink recipes, with racy names. That really shouldnt surprise anyone, since from the time of the pyramid-building Pharaohs on down, spirits have been used as a liquid facilitator of, ah, amatory purposes. People have always been hornyin other words, people have always done in real life what liquor ads in the last few years picture them doing, getting set for seduction, and they have turned to alcoholic beverages as an aid, as mind and spirit softeners. The Romans, for example, swore by wine from grapes grown near the Tyrrhenian Sea mixed with spices from the farthest outposts of the empire. And just like todays situation with regard to the perfect martini, everybody, and I do mean everybody, had his or her favorite recipe for said concoction. It was a golden age for both orgies and aphrodisiacs.
So now youre probably asking, do aphrodisiacs work (as to whether orgies do, I leave to your own doubtless impeccable breeding and discretion)? Well, allow me to ask you, did oysters work the last time you served them for specifically erotic ends? Or Hagen-Dazs rum raisin ice cream? I mean, hey, if coating yourselves in butterscotch sauce and then rolling around in sprinkles helps, dont look funny at me! This is why it doesnt really matter, despite the pretty far-fetched claims Ive heard made for a lot of these recipes, if X-rated drinks work as sexual aids or not. You can have fun even if nothing much happens. You will at the very least enjoy a tasty treat, an unfamiliar combination of flavors that you may well wind up adopting as your mixed drink of choice. And if you request one of these drinks at the right affair, say in lieu of your pastors favorite Sherry at the annual church social, you may also enjoy everyone elses shock and consternation. Theres something grade-schoolish in us all that gives us a kick out of just pronouncing the names of these drinks. Its the same kind of glee we felt when we dumped a toad down a girls book bag in sixth grade or said our first foul curse word.
Thats fine, as long as thats as far as it goes. I like to drink, but I know better than to drink to excess. Liquor may indeed be an aphrodisiac, but let us also face up to the fact that it is, in large enough amounts, a dangerous depressant. Other than that, Id like to stress just how much fun this book has been to assemble. Ive heard and borrowed from bartenders and premise patrons from literally all over America, each one making more grandiose promises for the sexual efficacy of their particular favorite than the last one. Were they all kidding? Were any? And does it matter if the drink recipes they supplied hold up anyway? Personally, I doubt it, so my sincere thanks go out to all those who helped make this book what it is, some of whom are thanked elsewhere in the dedication and others in sum total the proverbial those too numerous to mention.
Well hell, you all know who you are, and some of you told me in no uncertain terms that even under the most favorable circumstances you didnt want your names mentioned. Gang, Im as good as my word here. For now, however, its back to work. And, I dont drink while Im working, no matter where, when, or how. Instead, go have one on me and think kindly of me when drinking it. I wont mind.
Rather, Ill be flattered. And, in the case of this book, imbibing is very much the sincerest form of flattery. Again, thank you and enjoy yourselves. And, like Dr. Ruth Westheimer does, I wish you all good sex, particularly if lubricated by this volumes premium potables. Your friend, Ray Foley Publishers Note: This book and the recipes contained herein are intended for those of a legal drinking age.
