A Kosher Thursday: Meshugga Beach Party

And then along comes Thursday… and Meshugga Beach Party at Forbidden Island.  What a blast we had!  These local to Alameda fellas (and one lovely gal) were hands down fantastic, as usual.  I really love this band.  If you’re not familiar with Meshugga Beach Party, they play surf versions of traditional Jewish tunes.  Too much fun!  Of course, I was making cocktails like crazy, but I did manage some photos:

Meshugga Mel asked me to create a cocktail for him with Slivovitz for their appearance at Forbidden Island… I took the challenge and came up with the Suffering Shlemiel (shown below), with Slivovitz Kosher Plum Brandy, more Brandy, Cherry Heering, Bourbon, and Ginger Ale. Mel’s comment on the cocktail:

“I had a chance to preview the Suffering Shlemeil last night, and I have to say, not much suffering involved - an amazing feat of mixology. Of course, I suspect the true suffering comes from drinking too many!”  --Mel Waldorf

We also had a special guest in the house, MiMi Le Meaux, burlesque dancer extraordinaire.  Here she is pictured with Melissa, cocktail waitress at FI:

Next up – details about week 3 of the Black Orchid Club, and photos of the Rhapsody in Blue!  Stay tuned!

I’ll see YOU at the Island!

  2. I think I was at that party, and people were laughing about everything, everyone was drunk but the major attraction was a cocktail called Tadalafil, it's said have aphrodisiac properties.
