Bar: We ID for our 100-proof Thanksgiving bird
Associated Press
NEW YORK — You'll need to be 21 to take a bite out of this Thanksgiving turkey.
New York City tavern owner Paul Hurley said he'll unveil what he is calling the nation's first 100-proof turkey on Monday.
A spokesman for the owner of O'Casey's Tavern in Midtown Manhattan says that the bird is infused with fruit-flavored and 100-proof Georgi vodka for three days before being cooked.
The flavors of vodka include peach, raspberry, cherry and apple.
The gravy is also laced with the distilled liquor.
Out of concern for the danger of drinking-and-driving, the tavern is offering free taxi ride home to anyone who orders the turkey.
I'm not a big fan of turkey in general so I'm pretty sure turkey soaked in vodka for days would be extra disgusting. But I guess this bar is using Thanksgiving as an excuse to get people drunk and I can go for that. Thanksgiving without booze is like Valentine's Day with Cathy cartoons and Earth Day without pot.
P.S. - Why do bars always have to preface these announcements with some diatribe about DD's. Its a bar. People get drunk there everyday. Serving turkey with vodka in it isn't going to put sober drivers at any more risk.
