Name a drink at my bar after a rock idol/icon/instrument/event/whatever !

* gin, vermouth dry, green mint = "Money"

I should do some actual work at some time, maybe

I'd order a "Money."

*white rum, vodka, dr pepper = "some actual work"

Guinness, Red Bull, 5-hour Energy, vodka in a breakaway glass = "the Keith Moon"

White Light/White Heat
3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds
Pretzel Logic
Knockin' on Heaven's Door

I more or less stopped drinking years ago, so no idea what you'd put in them. I find almost any name works, no matter how nonsensical. "I'd like a Chainsaw the Horse, please, and an Anti-Pleasure Dissertation for my friend."

well, Runaways beat the shit out of Modern Talking, so..

lol I wish this actually happened.

* lemon, coffee, vodka -

Meyer lemons - any non-sucky famous Mayer/Meyer/Mayers/Meyers to choose from?

First of all, you totally have to give me royalties for using this (in true rock star style), because I assure you it will be a huge success:

THE ALTAMONT COCKTAIL

How about SEX DWARF?

Sex Dwarves on the Beach

* gin, green mint, mineral water = "Everything's Gone Green"

white rum, vodka, mango juice, natural syrup, mint leaf, cherry = GAY DAD

* white curaçao, lemon juice, lemon soda = "Poison" (you get a threefer on that between the band, the Alice Cooper song and the Bell Biv Devoe song)

BURNING AIRLINES

BABY LEMONADE

SAFE AS MILK

rum, brandy, vodka, orange juice, lemon juice, grapefruit juice, petroleum.

if you don't name this "THE IDIOT" you are really missing out on a revenue stream, srsly

You could have a whole 13th Floor Elevators themed menu: Splash 1, Don't Fall Down, Leave Your Body Behind, Rollercoaster, Levitation, Slip Inside This House.

Supernaut

if you don't use the Idiot, plz name it The Ian MacKaye

aw, I liked "Midnight Oil" because it has petroleum in it, do you see?

SAFE AS MILK

Should be the new rock name for a White Russian.

you could start with that and then add a subtle peanut flavor so that it's like an abba zabba

BLACKHEART

I like "baby lemonade"

lemon, coffee, vodka - the Allergic to Myself

I found an actual drink named a White Zombie:

Ingredients
1-1/2 ounces light rum
3/4 ounce coconut milk
3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
3/4 ounce chile simple syrup or plain simple syrup
1-2 tablespoons grenadine
Finely shredded lime peel to garnish

Directions
Pour all of the ingredients, except for the garnish and grenadine, into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously for 35 seconds.

Strain the mixture into a cocktail glass and then pour the grenadine over the back of a bar spoon and into the drink to float. Garnish with the shredded lime peel and serve immediately.

name something BARRACUDA as well, i dont care which

"Barracuda" can be * triple sec, vodka, green mint

BLACKHEART would be * black cherry jell-o + vodka

can you do a consomme-based drink called the Captain Beefheart

a mixture of every beer on tap called DRAUGHT PUNK

I've had Bloody Mary but with beef consommé instead of tomato juice, that could work as Beefheart.

For gear based ones you could do:

THE GROUND LIFT
THE CRYBABY
BIG MUFF
HALF-STACK / FULL-STACK
TOP BOOST
REVERSE FIREBIRD

the black francis
the curious orange
the cowboy killer
the gruff rhys
the declan macmanus

If you don't care about the quality of the actual album or song or thing being referenced, you can try:

SHOT OF LOVE

(It's a Bob Dylan album--not very good, however.)

Tangled Up in Blue

By the way, there is a burger joint with a similar concept, called Grill 'Em All in Alhambra, Los Angeles, California: http://www.yelp.com/biz/grill-em-all-alhambra-2

I've seen another restaurant with a similar concept, but do not remember the name. I think it's pretty fun and could work!

Best of luck!

Kuma's Corner in Chicago has the burgers named after metal bands, if that's what you're thinking of

Also one of these drinks needs to be named PSYCHO KILLER

My friend has a burger place where they're all named after bands, too. It's not that uncommon.

If I ever ordered a Dylan-inspired drink, I think I'd want a Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands. (But would settle for a Cowgirl in the Sand.)

WRATHCHILD - something red, like a bloody mary
RAINBOW IN THE DARK - tequila sunrise maybe
ELECTRIC EYE - blue curacao something or other but tuff, not lame
ACE OF SPADES - black russian?

What would go in a Dark Magus?

blood, organs

hahaha

BLACK FUNERAL = customer holds their arm over the bar, bartender slits their wrist and drains blood into a shot glass, adds tequila - drink

emil.y, it's so sad, near to where I live Green Day has a stake in this diner where there are dishes weakly named after punk songs, it's such a groaning facepalm, like I swear one of the dishes is called "God Save the Turkey Giblets" or something

Hahahaha, that's so awful it almost circles back to being brilliant. Almost.

I'm surprised that no cheesy microbrews have ever done a Bitches Brew with a picture of the owner's dog on the label painted in a mati klarwein style.

Oh there are some brilliant suggestion in here! Thanks! I'll be giving the menus later this week and I'll let you know which ones we ended up using.

We actually have a meat lovers pizza called Captain Beefheart already!

cool sock

Dawn of Creation/Prophecy is the Williamsburg Sex on the Beach.

Something fizzy called ANALOGUE BUBBLEBATH

Something with frangelico called SLOW FAST HAZEL

Moka, where is your place? IIRC you're in Mexico (or did I make that up)?

Yes, aguascalientes, mexico. Center of the state, center of the country. We're inside the San Marcos fair perimeter, google out 'feria de san marcos' to get an idea of how crowded the area gets. The fair lasts for a month and begins april 19 this year. I'm afraid of the volume of people we'll have to deal with.

yay moka!

ILX WORLDFAP AT MOKA'S BAR EVERYBODY

Marquee Macaroon - amaretto and malibu

A shot of Jameson's followed with a quarter shot of pickle juice......

The Pickleback

This is a real thing.
I drank several last night.
I want to make it clear that I did not order them.
The bartender set them up as thanks for defusing an altercation.
Also, they are freaking delicious.

would drink

* Baileys, Amaretto, Kahlua

is almost a mudslide, and def has a 1978 Stevie Nicks black-lace shawl appeal, so, "The Landslide"

moka, how is your rock hotel?

Ok, got a new drink in search of a name, the cocktail is really called 'lights of havana', here's the ingredients:

white rum + coconut rum + pineapple juice + mellon liqueur.

'sheriff clapton'
