From the cocktail menu at a restaurant called 718, in Astoria, New York:
Kevin Martini: Stoli vodka, olive juice, olives with blue cheese
Frankly, that sounds quite disgusting.

Matt is fascinated by the story of Argleton, the unreal town that appeared on GeoMaps but which doesn’t actually exist. When he and his friend and flatmate Charlie are standing at the exact longitude and latitude that defines Argleton, Matt sets in motion a chain of events that will take him places he didn’t know existed… and which perhaps don’t.

That's not a cocktail, that's a greek salad.
I do resent the naming there. While I do like olives, blue cheese, and vodka, liking things doesn't mean they belong in the same glass, as you know:

That really does sound gross….at least we know you won't be re-naming this blog “Cheese and Vodka”
I have another contender for you. “The Effluent”
1 Shot Baileys
1 Shot Bourbon
Coke
Served in a tumbler with or without Ice. Add shot of Baileys. Add shot of Bourbon (I prefer Jack) and top up with Coke.
Tastes good, looks like Sh*t
As opposed to this one, which looks like shit and tastes like shit too.
Yeah, i prefer my Kevin straight up…
(note: i cannot claim responsibility for this comment. instead I must blame, fairly and squarely, Mr Anderson.)
You tried it?
I know it sounds gross, but it is actually very good. The requirement is that you like Dirty Martinis – the ones where they pour olive juice into the drink, and that you enjoy blue cheese. Then they stuff a green olive with blue cheese before they put it in the drink, the cheese melts into the drink slowly.
Everything in that drink sounds good but the bleu cheese.
