Contents Under Pressure

Contents Under Pressure - Lighting compliments of Andrew Koupal

This drink makes very little sense to me. Contents Under Pressure? What, exactly is under pressure? There was no carbonation, it didn’t come from a pressurized can, nothing at all to explain the name of this drink. However, I digress. Let’s check out the absurdly named Contents Under Pressure.

• 1 1/2 shot Vodka
• 1/2 shot Galliano
• 1/2 shot Grand Marnier
• 1/2 shot Captain Morgan

As you might expect by reading the ingredients list, this drink has quite a punch to it. There is a brief, half second sweet taste immediately after drinking, then the rest of the drink comes to the party in a very strange overpowering mix of Vodka, Rum and Cognac, which I’ve taken to calling Vodrumgnac. Overall, it isn’t the worst drink I’ve had, but I certainly won’t be making it a regular drink.
