With love to the biologists and [livejournal.com profile] digitalsidhe

By way of [livejournal.com profile] halax, a phylogenetic tree of mixed drinks.

I notice a few glaring omissions -- the Boilermaker should really be down there with the 110 in the Shade, for instance -- but overall I'm quite entertained. Also, LOL at the Kir Royale as the basal clade for the "drinks with champagne in them" clade.

Huh. I notice that the author describes the 110 in the Shade as the "platypuses and slime molds of the drink world". As I'm sure my college and Project A-Kon buddies recall, damn do I love getting my platypus drunk on.

How, HOW does it have the jello shot and the Irish Coffee so closely related? Impossible! One is an invertebrate, and the other is a hairy, mountain-dwelling beast!
