Back in college days, I worked as a bartender in the best cocktail bar in California. All the stars would come, and beg me to mix them a Shut Up You Weirdo And Go Away. So I'd oblige.
These days, I like to be permanently drunk, so I fill my ski backpack with flasks of a little pick-me-up I call the Fatal Disease.
One part Simple Green cleaning fluid
Two parts brandy
Slice of lemon
Sugar-cube
Stir it all together in a big handle mug so it will look manly. Set it alight. Quaff in a cannon-thighed viking-like manner.
For the advanced mixologists, turn this hearty brew into an Orchard Fire by substituting an apple quarter for the slice of lemon.
Bottoms up!
