Sign in to disble this ad
So every time I listen to the first Steely Dan album "Can't Buy A Thrill" and the song Turn That Heartbeat Over Again comes on and I get caught up on this one lyric...
"My poisons name, you know my brand, so please make mine a Double Sam...Stir it up nice, Ohh hit is right here'"
Can someone help me out here, I can't take it anymore...What sort of drink is a "Double Sam"?
I tried searching google and got nothing but the lyrics to the song. |

Sam is the name of the bartender.
Punctuation does serve a purpose afterall. |

A double sam is, quite obviously, two sams. Available most anywhere there are more than one sam, sammy or samuels in the room. Take that, jive!

| Yeah but you don't stir a Sam Adams...I admit failure, infact... 
unless of course I create some sort of mixed drink and name it the double sam. Quote:

"Play it again, Sam..."
If he played it again,
it would be twice,
which would be double,
which would be a double, Sam

Actually, if you watch the movie, Bogart says, "Play it, Sam". |

| Does 2 shots of spiced rum topped with ginger ale have an official name?
If not I declare it to be the double sam and I'm sure to get that win point.
...otherwise I'm gonna have to spend tomorrow night mixing up random crap out of my liquor cabinet and get back to you. |

| | Eat at Joe's | | Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: J-Actionville, NC | | | Tried the double sam. Not bad. I don't care for the spiced rum generally available in the states so I also tried it with Black Seal. A few times.
Here is your win point.
