March 22: On Drinks

Today's Kerouaction

Today's post is participatory. Its intention is to answer the question, "What would Kerouac drink?"

Let's build a list of all the alcholic drinks mentioned in Jack's writing. I'm starting out the list with two drinks:

-double bourbon and ginger ale (Big Sur)
-poorboy of Tokay (The Dharma Bums)

Your job is to add to the list. Name the alcoholic drink, and name the Kerouac work.

Let's shoot for a long, accurate, comprehensive list.

Good luck!
