The title “Cocktails for programmers” gives me the same feeling as would the phrase “Leaf blowers for stamp collectors”.<p>Yes, a stamp collector might use a leaf blower, but it would not be relevant to collecting stamps. On the contrary, using a leaf blower <i>while</i> collecting stamps would be… inadvisable.
Malibu, Crème de Menthe, Jager, Triple Sec, Vodka & Coke, Kahlua. These seem like cocktails for programmers... earlier in their careers, shall we say.
A good cocktail showcases and highlights the component spirit(s) to make a more interesting and (hopefully) tasty drink.<p>Unfortunately when cocktails are based on nasty components, they often end up trying to disguise the spirit with sugary mixers like fruit juice or coke.<p>If you're interested in cocktails and don't mind diving in the deep end, try an authentic Sazerac:<p><a href="http://www.esquire.com/drinks/sazerac-drink-recipe" rel="nofollow">http://www.esquire.com/drinks/sazerac-drink-recipe</a><p>Remember: the point is to highlight the primary spirit, so start with something good: <a href="http://www.anchordistilling.com/spirits/old-potrero-straight-rye-whiskey" rel="nofollow">http://www.anchordistilling.com/spirits/old-potrero-straight...</a>
Gotta chime in here because I do this professionally.<p>This is why people don't like cocktails. These are seriously terrible. I wouldn't serve any of these, ever.<p>I don't want to be overly negative here, but no number of pull requests will fix this. Rather than try to salvage these, I will offer take out anyone who's interested and introduce you to a bunch of the top folks in the food and drink biz. There's really not a friendlier group of people, and learning about wine and spirits is a lot of fun.
The C#, it turns out, is the same as a Java but with a finer stock of liqueurs. The recipe for C#.NET however, is proprietary and no one can quite explain why one in a thousand makes you ill, or why the bottom of the glass seems to fall out sometimes.
Another cocktail is the "Tschunk", which is hugely popular with hackers here in Germany. See the recipe here: <a href="https://entropia.de/Tschunk" rel="nofollow">https://entropia.de/Tschunk</a> (the main ingredient, a carbonated, caffeinated soda called "Club-Mate" is difficult to source outside of Germany, though).
Awesome idea. My friends at ActiveState had a release party and went to the bar to celebrate over drinks. One of the guys ordered a round of shots for the group "12 shots please, half Tequila and half Jager" The waitress took him literally and brought 12 shots, all with half Tequila and half Jager.<p>The release included a GUI version of an existing command line tool because a certain customer wrote in saying "F&*k this DOS prompt BS, I want a GUI".<p>We now call this awful shot "The DOS Prompt"
I don't see a campari one, :D but here goes my daily cocktail:<p>1. half glass of Campari bitter.
2. Ice
3. orange
4. a shot of water-soda<p>(never use tonic or white wine, if you like it a bit more alcoholic then use some cava or champagne [sprinkledwine])
C is pure vodka, hard, powerful and without any flavor.<p>Assembly is pure ethanol.<p>Still thinking how would VHDL be... thinking about raw sugar cane to make your own alcohol from there.
Nice... tomorrow will get "Python" for start
I think the result will be "Memory Leak" and party will be over after "Epic Fail" :)
While not themed after languages and such, I keep a gist of my favorite cocktails I either want to try or the recipes me and my friends have come to enjoy: <a href="https://gist.github.com/dylan/6093669" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/dylan/6093669</a><p>My engineering pals think me using a gist to store recipes is funny... :P
I am turning 33, give me a Memory Leak please!<p><a href="https://github.com/the-teacher/cocktails_for_programmers/blob/master/cocktails_for_programers.md#memory-leak" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/the-teacher/cocktails_for_programmers/blo...</a>
Hmmm...<p>First we had the 'how to shoot yourself in the foot in X language' jokes.<p>Now we'll have jokes about what cocktails different programming languages would be. Not bad, I might compile them in a page some day.
Hmmm... so I the recipe for Befunge would be: 1. Pour a pint of beer 2. Pour a shot glass of vodka 3. Drop the glass into the beer 4. Drink quickly 5. Start flowing in all directions
Reminds me that webtender is still going strong.<p>The younguns at work were terrified of its layout and design when I showed it to them but it's a solid site.
