[Colonial] Breakfast of Champions

H and I were recently introduced to Brew Dog, a craft brewery in Scotland.  Not only is the beer incredibly delicious, but it's also actually served cold aka at proper beer drinking temperature.  The last time we went, they had a chalkboard full of beer cocktails.  Despite looking like a hangover waiting to happen, I decided to try one that was a hand mashed mix of:
  • fresh blueberries
  • fresh raspberries
  • two shots of 5 AM Saint beer
  • one shot of gin
  • one shot of Shiraz
It was so good that I quickly ordered a second one and would have had a third had there been time before dinner.  Despite the odd and copious mix of alcohol, the drink tasted like a fortified fruit smoothie.  I immediately decided that it would be the perfect breakfast of champions. 

H told me I could have one every morning if we move to Africa.  The last time he worked there, the wives spent their days drinking by the compound swimming pool.  At least with this drink, everybody can be sure to fulfill their fruit requirements everyday.  So H, if we move to Africa, I want a mercenary and freshly made beer cocktails everyday.  Oh, and please don't forget the baby elephant.  Deal?
