Naming a Series of Drinks.

There are tons of names of mixed drinks but no one seems to name a series of drinks that you drink one right after the other. Here are two suggestions.

A Menage Artois = Three Stella Artois in a row.

The Pep Boys =
1 glass of Manishevitz
1 Mojito
1 shot of Jack Daniels.

How about a "Miramax," which would be a Harvey Wallbanger and a Bob Cocktail (alternately, a Rob Roy).

And maybe you can tell the bartender to "make it German" by adding a Sidecar to the drink order.

Queen's Cousin

1 oz vodka

OK the queens cousin is a stretch but I don't know of a mixed drink that is named for Queens. Actually last weekend, Suzi and I were drinking Staten Island Ferries.
