We can come up with something better than that.

Does anybody know what they put in the "Mustang" and "Peruna" shots they made at Chaucer's? They were only open for like a year, but that was a very popular shot. I don't remember what they had in there, but they were good, and if I remember correctly, the Peruna shot was a modification of the Mustang shot, but it had more of a kick to it

The Filling Station on Greenville used to serve something called "The Tune Up." Bright blue. They lit it on fire. Definitely contained Blue Curacao. I remember it well, cause I personally vomited it several times. Somebody should get that recipe.

Be careful not to disturb the tradition of swinging by Parkit Market to pick up a bottle of MD 20/20 or Cisco on the way to the game. Ahhhh, Parkit Market...

They don't still make Cisco, do they?

There used to be a Mexican Restaurant in DC that had blue margaritas. I remember because one guy had too much and the bathroom at the office had a new blue patina for the rest of the day. He then passed out kneeling in front of the toilet in a nice bright blue puddle.

Not sure. I haven't tried to jump out of a second-story window with a grass skirt on in a while, though.

Oh, good god, the Tuneup. I remember (vaguely) those things. As I recall (again, my recollection isn't exactly crystal clear), they had a limit of two of those things in an evening. A friend of mine, who measured a svelte 6'6", 360 talked a waitress into a third (thanks to a very large tip, as memory .... barely .... serves). He was telling some story that he thought was funnier every time he repeated it, and at one point, he leaned back in his chair while laughing, and passed out. The waitress and I couldn't get him off the ground until I called a few friends on one of those fancy new microwave-sized Miami Vice-style "cell phones." Took four of us to carry him out of there. We were asked not to come back (at least not with him). But I'm guessing that recipe would be a big hit on The Boulevard.

Wasn't the filling station owned by an SMU grad?

I like this name and think we should develop a simple drink, with Tequilla and use the name Tequilla Mockingbird. If you want to actually establish a Boulevard Drink there has to be something that will distinguish it as a special item and this name could do this. So come on all you party guys.... Tequilla and _______. One mixer over ice. Simple, good and a great name.

PS. All of the mixologists out there, is there already a drink by this name?

My personal vote for a Boulevard specialty drink is one that I make all the time that I call a Beerita. 3 parts beer, 1 part tequilla, 1 part lime concentrate. It is delicious and gets you hammered. I know it sounds kind of crazy, but you really must try it before passing judgement. Some Blue Curacao could be added for color if wanted.

Only problem is what about people who refuse to drink tequilla? Also, if any of my friends on here reads this- feel free to post whether you like the Beerita or not since I know it isn't exactly a household name that everyone has had.

Back when we played in Ownby, before every home football game, I had a fraternity brother in the house that mixed a case of beer, a liter of Vodka, frozen lemonade concentrate and ice in an igloo cooler. It had a . . . unique taste.

Is Parkit Market the liquor store at the corner of Southwestern and Greenville? If so...it's now a cellular phone store. Closed within the past few months.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I think a friend has a keg and a trashcan (freakin' hole in the bottom) in his garage that he never got around to returning. Missed his chance.
