Mad Cocktails-The Drinks of Mad Men

Peggy Olson
mms3-peggy-517

Rounding out the offices of Stirling Cooper Advertising is junior copywriter, Peggy Olson played by Elisabeth Moss. Over the first two seasons of the show she gave up her innocence in dress, candor, and imbibing as a means of getting ahead. It worked. During the first season we would have seen her nursing a Coca Cola, or if the mood set her right, a Pink Squirrel Martini  However, her tastes have since matured and would be more likely be seen rocking a White Russian. It may look innocent, but like Peggy it’ll get you where it hurts.

    A little surprised we do not see the Moscow Mule taking a supporting role. It was the drink that shifted America from Gin to Vodka (clear spirits only of course). Invented in the ’40s and popular by early ’50s it would fit in quite nicely since its popularity is traced back to a marketing idea – promotional glassware ie. Copper Mug.

    Ingredients:
    1 1/2 oz Smirnoff vodka
    1/2 oz elixir g ginger mix
    Fill with lemon lime soda
    Garnish with lime wedge

    Instructions
    Pour vodka & elixir g into copper mug. Fill with lemon lime and garnish

    Cheers.

    That’s an *acceptable* Old-Fashioned, but Don Draper drinks his the top-shelf way. Rye, not bourbon.
