A recent discussion of alcohol got me thinking about the vile concoction that was my favorite drink throughout most of my first year in New York - the Red Devil. However, I’ve discovered over the years that few people have heard of it, that it’s almost exclusively an East Coast drink, and that it can be narrowed down even further to East Coast goth clubs, which I guess tells you where I did most of my drinking in college.

But I did a little more digging this morning and finally realized that it’s more commonly known as Red Death (appropriate for a goth drink, I suppose) and under that name the recipe is fairly easy to find. (Other recipes I found included orange juice, but I don’t remember whether the drink I’m used to has it or not.) Looking at the ingredients now, it’s no wonder I liked it before I had really developed a taste for alcohol - it’s more like Kool Aid than a cocktail. I doubt I could manage one these days, being more of a vodka & tonic kind of girl, but maybe it will interest the girl drink drunks among you.
