So my friend Rick brings over a new girlfriend who dumps tomato juice in her beer. Not in my house, I say. But of course the fear facter curiosity kicks in, and I pour her drink. Damn if she didn't toss back 4 of them.
She's from Kansas originally where apparently this is normal behavior. And by her accounts they drink the same foul concoction on the island of Jamaica, where they refer to it as a "red eye." So there you have it, a bizarre link between the primitive cultures of Kansas and Jamaica.
Has anyone else heard of this?

Yep, I've heard of it. I've even tried it. It ain't half bad...but i prefer to just drink beer straight from the tap.

I have had the pleasure of drinking a Lunchbox. My friend was at the Kon Tiki in Tuscon and it's on the menu. When he got back we went to the Purple Orchid and sure enough, they knew how to make it. Not really my kind of drink, but it's OK.
1/2 pint of beer
fill with pineapple juice
shot of Amaretto
I've seen it all mixed together and with the Amaretto in a shot glass on the side, drop it in and chug.

They have it all wrong in Kansass! It's supposed to be Beer and Clamato! With, a splash of Tobasco!!!!! That is The Red Eye! It's a morning thing. Well, used to be, before they made "Chaser. The atnti Hangover Pill!!" Dr Z is out of Biz.! Clamato is good in spegetti(sp?) sauce though.

In California, I've been pourin Bloody Beers for many years to customers.
It's much better with a Bloody Mary mix made from scratch.

I think the old skool use to be just plain old bloody mix....this just came to mind cause Buddy Epson (sp?) Mr. "Hillbilly", use to order them at a spot in Newport where I worked...he was an early drinker...hope he went out happy  Maybe he woulda' lasted longer with V8...who knew!
Thanks Unga!

I just call it tomatobeer. Nothin' fancy, usually mix it 3/4 beer to 1/4 tomato juice with a shake o' salt...the colder the better. I usually make myself a couple in the morning after a severe party and somebody's left some strange beer in my fridge that I know I'll never drink any other way (hate to see anything go to waste). It puts out the fire so I can move on to more "refined" morning drinks like Harvey Wallbangers or Tequilla Sunrises. A day without orange juice is like a day without sunshine!

I had an art opening at a Sushi joint and the Japanesse bar tender had me drinking sake and beer. Something like a boiler maker. He would sit a shoot glass on two chop sticks over the glass of beer then he would scream out some jibberish pound his fist on the bar and make the shoot glass fall into the beer. I don't really remember the taste. Actually the last thing I remember was the non-english speaking sushi chef pulling me into the store room. In the store room he started to disrobe to my horror then I finally realised what he was trying to comunicate which was that he had yakazu type tattos over his whole body. He wanted to show off his art as well.
What was this thread about?
