The Weekend's Best Gay Marriage-Themed Drink Specials
From Scalia's Tears to Ruth Bader Gin & Juice to the Pride Cocktail Tree.
What is the taste of Justice Antonin Scalia’s tears? Well, at Chicago’s Geek Bar at least, they’re salty, acidic, and as bitter as biting into a pile of rodenticide.
That’s if you’re drinking “Scalia’s Tears,” a cocktail the bar whipped up to commemorate Friday’s Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage. The recipe incorporates the orange liqueur Combier, apple bitters, salt, and Malört—that wormwood-infused, face-puckering drink that one critic likens to “earwax, fire, poison, and decaying flesh.”
