<p>I’ve loved Moxie since I was young, I still order it online a couple times a year!</p>
<p>Excellent choice.</p>
<p>Well, why not have it be our Signature drink, jym?</p>
<p>Of course, I think we’ve had at least one other signature drink. But who’s counting?</p>

jym-inspired Moxie to the Nth when we are MAHANGTTIAM (mad as hell and not going to take it anymore) and want to get our pi$$ and vinegar going.</p>
<p>Oops, forgot about the other signature drink. The more the merrier, IMO. When I was in college, the local hangout used to serve this drink called the “Dirty Mutha”. It was sort of a combination of a black russian and a white russian- tasted like a milkshake and, unfortunately, went down about as easily. I’d recommend we add that to the menu.</p>
<p>As for the wikipedia info on “moxie”- its fascinating and perfect on all fronts. And Penn’s daughter’s name- How a propos that it is a magicians daughter. Maybe he can make the cancer <em>disappear</em>?</p>
<p>Also from wiki re: Moxie:

Notable Moxie mixed drinks include the “Welfare Mom”, which consists of equal parts Diet Moxie and Allen’s Coffee Flavored Brandy; the “County Girl”, a drink made up of one part bourbon whiskey and two parts Moxie on the rocks, with an optional lime garnish; the “Mad Mailman”, a mixture of Moxie and J</p>
<p>Now I’ve gone and done it, I’ve ordered two six-packs of Moxie.</p>
<p>Diet this time. (Sigh.)</p>
<p>so, what’s it taste like, mootie?</p>
<p>It’s… smoky tasting. Earthy. Sort of like root beer that didn’t quite make it to root beer but ended up something different.</p>
<p>I think it’s a “love it or hate it” kind of taste sensation. (And I’m one who loves Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray over a big glass of ice, so my tastes are not everyone’s.)</p>
<p>I can’t believe I never tasted Cel-Ray until a year ago! And it was pretty good, though I can’t say I’d order it again. I’m not a big soda drinker, and I’m sometimes a wimp about trying new things.</p>
<p>Now I’m curious to try Moxie. I like the description of “smoky.” Like Scotch? ;)</p>

<p>Mommusic, you should have gone to my son’s elementary school. One day he came home with a big certificate that read, “(Child’s name) Took A Risk!”</p>
<p>They had fed the kids snails, and anyone who tried the new food got the certificate.</p>
<p>I was kinda horrified, but the deed was done.</p>
<p>LOL! I’d be horrified too. No offense to the French, it’s just that the critters don’t fit in our dietary restrictions.</p>
<p>And most elementary schoolkids’ ideas of a new food would be about as risky as…brussels sprouts. Asparagus. Turnips. Rutabagas. (Which all come under the category of Vegetables of Affliction, according to a friend of mine.) And which I buy often, to the annoyance of teenage grocery store clerks who have to keep asking me what they are. Obviously they were not challenged as children to take a risk and eat an interesting new food.</p>
<p>Snails, huh? <em>shakes head</em></p>
<p>LOL. I make snails every year for Bastille Day. They’re just an excuse to eat a lot of garlic butter. :)</p>
<p>My favorite possibly revolting french dishes are steak tartare and foie de veau. Mmmmmmmmhhhaaaaa.</p>
<p>uh…blech. (no offense)</p>
<p>mathmom–I can think of lots of ways to eat garlic butter that don’t involve gastropods. :)</p>
<p>Troubling how many ways I can think of to eat butter.</p>
<p>mommusic, have you ever just roasted a head of garlic with butter? Sublime.</p>
<p>Garlic: Olive oil, yes; butter, no. But now that you mention it, I could see trying it! :)</p>
<p>And I like most other vegetables but they are all improved with the addition of butter and parmesan cheese. Though we nowadays try to stick to olive oil & parmesan as being healthier. </p>
<p>Why do you think restaurant food is so tasty? Because they use WAY more butter & cream than you would if you were making it at home.</p>
<p>And more salt too.</p>
<p>We were passing around the pi$$ and vinegar drinks last week, tonight I think we should all jump up on the bar with our red high heels and do a dance for LTS!!! Drinks are on me!</p>
<p>Heels crimp my toes and exaggerate my calves, although red is my color ;)</p>
<p>Greetings from San Diego: 60s and sunny. Left Pittsburgh in the snow Monday. Due to head back Thursday, but I anticipate plane trouble that could keep me here for another week…</p>
