Favorite cocktail names

[Olympicnut]

I'm with NA on the cocktail names. Although I am FAR from a prude as some of you know there's something about calling a drink a Blow Job or Slippery Nipple that somehow cheapens the mystique of enjoying a fabulous cocktail, ya know? Those names make them so "TGI Fridays" or "Red Robin" to me.

Gimme a martini, or a gimlet, or a vodka tonic any day.

YES, YES, YES. This is the point I was trying to make in my initial post. I like the simplicity and class of those titles.
