I have invented a drink!

[missroserose]

San Francisco Fag

1 part pineapple vodka
1 part Midori
orange-mango juice

Build over ice in a rocks glass. Pour juice on top and stir. (Alternatively, double the amounts and use a collins glass.)


Critical Thinking Questions
Why is this drink called a "San Francisco Fag"?
Could there be more than one reason?
Why do drink names often use terms deemed socially unacceptable?
Is the term "San Francisco Fag" redundant?

Good point. I remember being told in school that the term "faggot" actually came from the same root as the cigarette slang, i.e. a bundle of wood for burning...albeit in the case of a homosexual, it was because they used to burn them at the stake. (But given the sometimes-questionable quality of information in American schools, I'm not going to cite that as gospel just yet.)

Personally, though, I liked the sound of it because of the alliteration, and because (thanks to being a super-liberal Savage Love (http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/SavageLove) reading American), most people will know what I'm referring to. :)
