47 Words raises a glass to these crazy straw wonders.
Phil Collins
Gin, Beer, Rum, Vodka, Whiskey, Tequila, Lemon Juice, Sugar
Tom Collins is a staple of the refined cocktail customer. One of its drawbacks, however, is that it doesn’t make you feel like a gorilla fulfilling musical fantasies on a studio drumkit. Next time, add beer, rum, vodka, whiskey, and tequila, and prepare to go apeshit radical. -JB
OK Cola
[Secret Formula]
For seven glorious months, Coca Cola tried to harness 90’s slacker ennui. Test markets were greeted by Dan Clowes’s sweating neurotics and messages that life, like the beverage (tasting like orange soda mixed with Mister Pibb), was simply okay. Alas, the corporation expected sales better than OK. -AP
Borg Sphere
Gin, Rum, Vodka, Melon Liqueur, Sour Mix, Sprite
This steaming bright green orb of glass and iron, like its namesake, is a sum of parts, with Sprite as the dominent queen. Hopefully, with the imminent closure of Star Trek: The Experience — and thereby Quark’s Bar & Restaurant — it’ll go torment a new species. -JM
Steven Seagal’s Lightning Bolt
Tibetan Goji berry, Asian Cordyceps, Ginseng, Guarana
When you combine the power of Steven Seagal, Goji Berries and Chi Energy, how could anything go wrong? Folks sipping the drink expected the advertised “100% Juice Asian Experience” to be energizing and sweet, but, alas, experienced flavor not unlike that of Steven Seagal’s sweaty behind. -DE
Caipirinha
Lime, Sugar Juice, Cachaca
Stopped at BevMo Monday to buy water for the office. In an act of defiance I bought some premium grade spirits. Got home, filled a glass with lime, sugar, ice, and cachaca. Shortly thereafter I wished my rebel yell had been something that led to less pain. -MS
The Col-pop
Fried Chicken, Soda
Korea has ushered in a brave new world of food and beverage container technology. With the Col-pop, you can hold your fried chicken bits in the same convenient cup as your favorite fizzy beverage with no risk of cross contamination. Truly, it’s a peerless road trip companion. - JL

In germany, that had a soda called mezzo mix which was orange kissed cola, kind of reminds me OK cola. I really liked mezzo mix, I would like some right now in fact.
