Thanks! It's one I've been kicking around for a while, waiting for a drink that matches the spirit of the man/band to occur to me.

I actually have a list of about 20-30 "good cocktail names" going, waiting for the same sort of inspiration. I think about half of them are music references.

let us help those names get some cocktails!

Okay, here's one that's more of a drink naming template, and I'm kind of surprised I haven't seen it pop up anywhere... "While My [Blank] Gently [Blanks]"... I imagine we could all fill in those blanks differently to come up with some fun drinks!

While My Guitar Gently Beets: beet juice, gentian, guitar-infused vodka.
