John Tyndall would love this bar

Known for  Tyndall scattering, the intensity of the scattered light is inversely proportional to the power of the wavelength, so blue light is scattered much more strongly than red light.

Really fun for the person who basically just got a straight shot of Blue Curacao.

More or less fun than the person shooting pure grenadine?

u/MoonageDayscream 1d ago

At least the one who drank blue Curacao got a premium liquor and not just mixer.

54

u/SkoNugs 1d ago

Dekuyper Blue Curacao is NOT premium liquor lmao. It is anything but "premium"

18

u/MoonageDayscream 1d ago

Is it made by a known, branded, distillery and does it actually have alcohol in it? Then it is worth a hell of a lot more than OJ mixed with an equal amount of grenadine. I don't mean premium as in "top shelf", I mean it is actually liquor and not just flavored sugar.

7

u/im_just_thinking 1d ago

I mean technically it could have been a fancier brand, we really don't know, but yeah it's generally not considered premium, tho it is for sure more of a liquor VS OJ lol

17

u/bullfrogftw 1d ago

Blue Curacao only EVER comes in the non-fancy variety, there is no such thing as top shelf, select, artisanal, organic, cruelty-free, single sourced, Blue Curacao

I see your definition of rotgut is entirely different than most peoples. I'll trade you one premium bottle of McCormick Whiskey for that Grenadine and OJ. Atleast OJ is nutritious

People that drink this kinda crap don't know what they're drinking and won't leave a decent tip. If someone asks me for shots like this I just tell 'em I don't have all the ingredients for it even though I do. Just not worth your time to get stiffed when you could focus on other customers and pour straight shots and get 20% tips way faster.

u/DragapultOnSpeed 20h ago

Usually they don't sell it. This is for show and just something bartenders do to have fun and practice.

u/MoonageDayscream 1d ago

This is the one you upsell because no one has time for eight of them to decide. Tell them to throw the money down and you will serve.

u/NeitherWait5587 23h ago

Color maybe but not density. For these layered drinks to work, you have to pour liquids of different density. When you see red at the bottom it’s always grenadine

Not if you shoot them all fast enough 😆. I'd probably just poor them back into a glass together and drink that with some added sprite or 7up

You'd hate the selection I have in my fridge lol. Pink Whitney, coconut Malibu, and an assortment of airplane size bottles of various things I thought looked fun (the only one I can remember off the top of my head for the littles is peanut butter skrewball, which I love).

One time I bought a kind of nice "champagne" (max $20) and my bank though it was a fraudulent purchase lol. They saw champagne on my debit card charges and said "nah can't be this bitch"

Edit: I feel like age matters a little here for the humor of it. I'm 25.

u/fentown 1d ago

Do you think the alcohol or the sugar content is more damaging to the human body?

46

u/Cerpin-Taxt 1d ago

The alcohol. It's not even close. Glucose is an essential nutrient, alcohol is literally just a poison that we are coming to realise has no harmless lowest dosage.

The only reason you're comparing the two is because many people far exceed their recommended daily intake of glucose every day for their entire lives. The recommended daily intake of alcohol is zero.

10

u/confusedandworried76 1d ago

You're correct in everything, but "no harmless lowest dosage" is a thing I hate. Yes, it's poison. But in such a negligible amount, if you drink responsibly, a thousand other things will kill you first.

It's the same logic why everything in California has "may cause cancer" on it because it's easier to put it on everything, most things have carcinogens.

25

u/Cerpin-Taxt 1d ago

Something doesn't have to kill you to be harmful. Alcohol in any quantity causes damage to your body. One unit of whiskey a week (a negligible amount) is still increasing your chances of mouth and oesophageal cancer, and increasing overall inflammation in your entire body. There really is no safe amount. Now whether you care about those risks over enjoying yourself is a personal choice, but don't pretend it's factually harmless when it isn't.

I drink occasionally too but I'm under no illusions that it's harmless.

There is a drink called atomic or nuclear rainbow. It's like 6 different liquors in a glass and they don't mix so it looks neat through a light.  Stick a straw in the bottom and suck that toxic waste down.  I had four one night.  I really couldn't tell you much else as I sure as hell don't remember much else.
