They Might Be Giants

Giant Cocktails. Five of Them. For Drinking.

The problem with cocktails: every time you finish one, you have to order another. There’s got to be a better way. Oh, right. There is. It’s ordering enormous cocktails instead of not-enormous ones. Here now, the city’s most magnificently oversized libations.

PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE AT THE NOOK

Should You Need a Rum-Filled Fish Bowl

You require: A mini aquarium that’s filled with rum instead of water.
You’ll receive: A glass bowl holding 16 ounces of rum, lemonade, lime juice, grenadine and Sprite. But mostly rum. It seems like you should probably share something like that. It really does.

CIAO PESCA AT LURE

Enough Punch to Serve the Pitt-Jolies

You require: A drinking vessel that looks like it was borrowed from a Game of Thrones set.
You’ll receive: A silver cauldron and a ladle. On the outside: a lion’s head. On the inside: peach schnapps, peach puree, ruby port and prosecco. It’s what’s on the inside that counts.

REDNECKARITA AT ACROSS THE STREET

A Margarita with Two Beers in It

You require: A margarita. And beers. Together. In one glass.
You’ll receive: A beverage specifically engineered for Saturday afternoon patio situations. First, a giant glass is rimmed with salt. Then, a margarita is poured in there. Then, two beers are placed in there. Then, that’s how you take your margaritas from now on.

FISH HOUSE PUNCH AT THE OPTIMIST

Some Aggressively Strong Sweet Tea

You require: Refreshing peach tea. Or what appears to be refreshing peach tea.
You’ll receive: Black rum, black tea, brandy, peach whiskey and lemon served in a glass decanter with a mixing spoon. Take it out to the putting green and pose for a stranger’s pictures. This is working.

ORANGE STILLMAN AT ROSEBUD

A Mason Jar the Size of a Baby’s Head

You require: A not-tiny beverage made for not-sharing.
You’ll receive: A 32-ounce mason jar filled to the brim with vodka, OJ, champagne and orange Crush. Pair that with some pancakes and you’ve got yourself a brunch. That may or may not require a follow-up brunch.
