Wow, am I the first!? Sweet.

Here’s mine, called Ass On Flames (Drink is A.S.S. on Flames and you will find the recipe at the bottom!)

Innnnteresting prompt…!

For the benefit of writers such as myself who are not acquainted with the names of mixed drinks: I present you with Wikipedia’s extensive list of cocktails. Enjoy the strange creations.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cocktails

Sparky —

An awesome list. Thing is, you can find even weirder ones. Cocktails from the 1920s are great. A “speakeasy” nearby does rock-awesome cocktails of old:

I went with Flaming Moe: I give you the scimitar wielding meth-bear… sort of. (Drat you and your shorter word count!)

http://josinlmcquein.blogspot.com/2011/04/flash-fiction-flaming-moe.html

Coming in at about 496 words, I’ve got “Satan’s Whiskers”. Just too good to pass up.

Great prompt. Read “Camel Piss,” if you wish, at

The Smokey Carburettor

http://mcdroll.blogspot.com/2011/04/smokey-carburettor.html

what we have here: 208 word story plus TWO recipes! Not to mention the titilating title:
Sex with the Captain or Babymama
(of course once you had the first one, Babymama CAN only be a considered to be a natural/possible consequence)
Enjoy the story NOT in moderation..thanks for reading:

Go clicky here > http://metamuse-aiwevanya.blogspot.com/2011/04/bloody-mary.html for 500 words on some kind of vampire slaying chick called Mary.

Oh also I found this cocktail site helpful http://www.in-the-spirit.co.uk/cocktails/index.php (even though I went with a really, really well known one in the end and probably didn’t need to do so much research… oh well, maybe I’ll do another one or two, this was fun).

Okay, so I couldn’t say no to an alcohol based challenge. It was just too fun not to try. Here’s my entry for this week’s Cocktail Challenge, then I’m off to read all the other entries, because they are always so good.

I give you: The Cocktail Challenge http://writemomma.blogspot.com/2011/04/flash-fiction-cocktail.html (you’ll have to read the story to know which drink I chose).

Well, it’s as good a challenge as we’ve had yet — thank you. Fun, too. Worked hard to make this more a “story”, less a vignette.

Keep it up — doing this and seeing the good stuff folks come up with is a good time.

Damn, forgot my drink recipie. Hmm . . . don’t really drink bloody marys except sometimes on early AM flights if I’m on vacation. It’s what? Vodka and menses? I got that right?

This was a lot of fun. I think I might’ve came up with a whole new character to play with after this!

I didn’t write a story for the challenge but loved reading everyone else’s stories. Awesome challenge theme.

This is weird. My comment shows up in one browser (Chrome) but not three others (Firefox, Iron and Opera).

Weird.

@Stephanie:

It shouldn’t show up in any browser, as b/c of the link it wasn’t yet approved. But that’s fixed now!

The Rattlesnake. Exactly 500 words (not counting recipe at the bottom)

http://sparky29252.blogspot.com/2011/04/rattlesnake.html

Chuck, sorry. I didn’t know that.

I just had t try this one. The bars open..

@Stephanie:

Oh! Nothing to apologize about, was just letting you know why sometimes comments don’t show right away. That tends to be true if it’s got a link in it.

As this was flash and short, I didn’t bother editing this. Just kind of threw it up on the screen. (Vomit is how fruity drinks usually end up for me, so perhaps that’s fitting.)

Taking a break from other writing to toss back a quick shot:

Also, I’ve noticed in reading these other posts that it’s unbelievably damned difficult to find the writer’s name on some of these sites. C’mon, guys, how am I supposed to look for your published work someday if I don’t know your name? And yes, I’ll be looking. Find a prominent blank spot, add your name and fucking claim it.

http://innocentsaccidentshints.blogspot.com/2011/04/terrible-minds-challenge-death-in.html

Here’s mine, called “Death In The Afternoon”

I’m not really an aficionado on drinks so here is a joke I read.

A woman goes into a bar and asks for a “double entendre”.
So the bartender gave her one.

Thanks. I’ll be here all week.

This was fun! My first flash-fiction piece: Swimming Pool.

http://mylinesmylife.blogspot.com/2011/04/terribleminds-flash-fiction-challenge.html

The cocktail is the Negroni but Negroni Spash, 500 words, is the title for the essay of this fun challenge. This piece brings me out of the closet 20 years of memoirs never read, here is a taste. Thanks Chuck.

Don’t try this at home!

I finished =)
Now to go back and read the rest!

http://taratylertalks.blogspot.com/2011/04/j-is-for-jello-shooter.html

Here’s the recipe (but I think we all know how to make it):
make jello to package instructions and substitute clear alcohol of choice (rum, vodka) for half of the water measurement, put in small paper cups and chill.

Here is The Mad Cow Special

The Moscow Mule…

My latest entry in the continuing series of Chuck Wendig’s Flash Fiction Challenges: The Moscow Mule. This one centers around the theme of titling your story after a cocktail, hence the name. Also, only 500 words instead of 750. If you want to sk…

I’d love to hear your thoughts on my story & accompanying recipe: The Moscow Mule

http://www.mostlymuppet.com/2011/04/13/the-moscow-mule/

Took me forever this time to get my story up (odd considering the word limit on this one), but finally here it is: Snake in the Grass – http://paulvogtwrites.blogspot.com/2011/04/snake-in-grass.html

Proving that even girlie drinks can have a kick-ass name. “Gin and Sin” http://8thage.blogspot.com/2011/04/flash-fiction-gin-and-sin.html

I completely failed the ‘not a vignette’ thing, sorry. It’s 11am on a Thursday, I’m all wibbly and I really want a gin & tonic.

http://tribid.livejournal.com/14349.html

At 500 words EXACTLY (to include recipe), I present to you:

“A Murder of Crows”

http://josephmcgee.wordpress.com/2011/04/14/murder-of-crows/

[...] Thanks to Chuck Wendig for this flash fiction writing prompt! [...]

I bent the rules somewhat, and instead of a “Tom Collins” I have a “Tom Cullen.” But it is exactly 500 words, excluding the *4 BONUS COCKTAIL RECIPES* (two I found and two I made up).

These are some great stories, really fun stuff! Who knew there were so many bizarre cocktails!? I think I am in love with flash fiction now!!

Very late, I know. But I am a writer, and I will finish the shit I started. So I’m going through all the stuff I didn’t complete, and completing it now, ready for Nano.
