The Santorum Cocktail

[dave]

Now being served in Brooklyn.

“People really like it even though it’s named after something gross — both the person and the Dan Savage meaning,” said John Rauschenberg, co-owner of Pacific Standard. “It’ll be an election fixture at least until primary season is over.” The duo behind the beer hole near St. Mark’s Place often put out cocktails with suggestive names, such as the Corn Holed Fashioned or Mike Gallego’s Cup. But the Santorum, a milky mixture of Baileys, orange vodka, bitters and chocolate flakes, seems to be sticking. We won’t explain how the drink matches up with an alternate definition of the word “Santorum,” as The Brooklyn Paper is a family publication — but the bar’s liberal proprietors are certain it’ll satisfy any boozy desires.

Main articles: Campaign for "santorum" neologism and Rick Santorum's views on homosexuality

Savage reacted strongly to statements made about homosexuality by former United States Senator Rick Santorum in an April 2003 interview with the Associated Press. Santorum included gay sex as a form of deviant sexual behavior, along with incest, polygamy, and bestiality, that he said threatens society and the family; he said he believed consenting adults do not have a constitutional right to privacy with respect to sexual acts.^[13] Savage invited his readers to create a sex-related definition for "santorum" to "memorialize the Santorum scandal […] by attaching his name to a sex act that would make his big, white teeth fall out of his big, empty head."^[14] The winning definition was "the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex."^[15] Savage set up a website to spread the term, inviting bloggers and others to link to it, which caused it to rise to the top of a Google search for Santorum's name.^[16]

Yep, I debated as to whether I should post this (don't wanna make anyone nauseous, you people are my friends, after all!), but in the name of, uh, journalism I decided to.

Will you be the first to try this? I won't!

Rick, I should point out that the word 'cocktail' is made up of the words cock and tail.

Rick Santorum is a punk. The anarchist is him. I agree. Enough with monkeys.
