when i was an undergrad i worked for a branch of chase manhattan in east harlem ... we were held up four times in five weeks. the branch manager, a suspected functional alcoholic, used to run next door to the liquor store and get us all little cocktails to tide us over until the fbi arrived ...

Wow, what a story. Sounds like the plot of a really good movie, although probably scarier to live it.

Does anyone still make these? I've never seen them. Just those freezer pouch frozen mixed drinks and wine juice boxes. I'd love tiny canned cocktails to be hanging out in my fridge.

Only thing I've seen have been a couple of Jack Daniel's drinks: Jack and Coke (regular and diet) and Jack and Ginger. I seem to recall some Jim Beam drinks, too.

Oh! I remember Jack Daniels wine-cooler looking things. I forgot about them, never saw the Jack and Coke though!

I remember those to! They came in a can the size of a Coke can. And I realize I know way too much about booze that was popular when I was a teenager ;-)

I hadn't thought of them in several years. I looked online and saw where people had mentioned, as recent as 2012, picking them up at their local liquor store. I remember they had quite a few different cocktails like, Long Island Iced Tea, Sex on the Beach, Fuzzy Navel, and several others.

I am now on a mission to find them! That's awesome.

[branwynn.livejournal.com]

If you find them please let me know!!!

[foulmouthangel.livejournal.com]

I will report back if I have any luck. I know there aren't any at the liquor store near me, so I need to find a bigger one.

I'm not convinced. Nothing --not even liquor-- can save orange juice in a can. Bleh.

Is this Mom's Apple Pie all over again, but with citrus?
