SHRUNKEN BUM RECIPE REVEALED!
()
Those of you who have perused our Deadbeat Bar cocktail menu may have noticed that one of our drinks, The Shrunken Bum, used to come with a warning that the recipe is too dangerous to reveal. But since we’ve been making them for over a year now and no one has died, or even shrunk, after drinking them, we here divulge it to you.
Not that you asked, but first a little background info: It all started because our pal Bosko came up with a Shrunken Bum sculpture in our honor … at any rate, we prefer to think it was in our honor, given the sad end to the Bum the piece envisions (see photo above). The sculpture caused a minor sensation when Bosko exhibited it at the 2004 Tiki Oasis event in Palm Springs, so Bosko followed it up with a pint glass bearing a Shrunken Bum logo (photo below). Since even a glass this interesting is more interesting with a drink in it, the Bum concocted a cooler to complete the picture.
To make a Shrunken Bum, place in your blender 1 ounce fresh lemon juice, 1 ounce apple juice, 1 ounce dark Jamaican rum, 3/4 ounce 151 Bacardi rum, 1/4 ounce sugar syrup, 1/8 level teaspoon powdered cinnamon, and 8 ounces (1 cup) crushed ice. Blend on high speed for at least 20 seconds. Pour into a Shrunken Bum glass half-filled with ice cubes (see link below to order one).
