Funkranomicon - someone said to us "they should name a drink after you guys, and Virgil the bartender at Joe's did so. So folks were dancing and grooving and drinking Funkranomicon's all afternoon!"
 
I've got a couple named after me. My nickname used to be VomBomb, so there's a drink called a VomBomb which is a shot of whiskey in a pint of beer (traditionally a shot of bourbon in a cream ale making it almost a makeshift scotchale).

The second one is what I like to call a "Greenball", which is 6 shots of whiskey in a highball glass served neat. Green because in pool the #6 is green.

Enjoy your VomBombs and Greenballs friends~!
 
A bar invented a drink named after my band called a Conniption. I heard it had some type of liquor called Fire Water in it and something else. I understand it was very popular but since I don't drink, I never had one.
