NBA Inspired Libations

A couple NBA-inspired cocktails came to my attention today. The weekend is upon us, so no time to waste, time to get wasted, straight to the chaser...

Thanks to Sean "Big Ballz" Frieds for hooking me up with the recipe to The LeBomb James.

The ingredients:
- 1 Shot Crown Royal (cuz he's the King, duh [though he's not Canadian])
- Red Bull
- 3 packs of Splenda

Instructions:
Drop the Crown in the Red Bull, throw it down your throat, tear open the Splenda packs, dump the contents into one hand, smack your hands together and throw that shit into the air. (Unless you're in a Cleveland sports bar, girls will think you're a real douchenozzle after tossing artificial sweetener in the air. Practice the LeBomb with caution.)

Adam K at Vanity Fair introduced the world to The Black Mamba today, in honor of what's sure to be a big game out of Kobe tonight.

The ingredients:
- 1 oz. Beefeater gin infused with Early Grey tea
- 1 1/2 oz. Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur
- 1/2 oz. lemon juice

Instructions:
Combine, shake, serve over ice, drink. (In Adam's hasty attempt at convincing Max B us he's a man's man, he neglected to take note that the Black Mamba is so named for the pitch-blackness of its inner mouth. More like the Albino Black Mamba here. Ummm, maybe stick to Fashion Week?)
