If Open Water Swims Were Cocktails

Spread the love

Must be a fun article.

Agree with everything aside the North Channel. Not sure where the Rum and Coke from? A Guinness or a Taliskar may be more suitable 🙂

Kind Regards

I agree Bill
I need to do this not at work; too much interference.

they are good suggestions and I don’t have any better–although I am not sure about the Singapore Sling for the Cook Strait. Maybe a nice Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc or a Steinlager would be better. Or some classic cocktail involving kiwifruit–not that I can think of any.

Otherwise these look good.

Hmmmm, this is a great topic. One that would be good to discuss over a cocktail, beer or even glass of wine.
Some names you have to be similar to the cocktail name
Ie Strait of Gibraltar would be something to “whiskey straight up”

So here goes
1. English Cannel = Pimms cup
2. Catalina Channel = luau Larry’s Hat drink
3. North Channel= rum and coke
4. Strait of Gibraltar= Scotch on the Rock(s)
5. Molokai channel= Mohitto
6. Tsugaru=Sake
7. Cook Strait = Singapore sling
8. Manhattan;=(this is easy) a Manhattan (top shelf of course)
9. Maui = Mai Tai ( extra sand)
10. Traversee = (blank) with a twist

I started to write 2 articles, and then realized that I usually order lemonade, so I could not complete the articles without losing all credibility. But if you have any ideas, please send them and I will credit you:

If Open Water Swims Were Cocktail Drinks

If open water swims were the equivalent of cocktail drinks, what would they be? Thinking imaginatively, this is what the global open water swimming community came up with on the first round.

Although modern cocktail culture has created a number of exotically complicated drinks with a variety of gourmet ingredients, we suggest that open water swims are more similar to great drinks using classic recipes.

If Open Water Swims Were Beers

If open water swims were the equivalent of beers, what would they be? Thinking imaginatively, this is what the global open water swimming community came up with on the first round.

Modern micro-brewing culture has created a number of light and heavy brews that grace the taste buds of people around the world, from England to South Africa and from Tokyo to Toronto.

1. The English Channel would be…
2. The Catalina Channel would be…
3. The North Channel would be…
4. The Strait of Gibraltar would be…
5. The Molokai Channel would be…
6. The Tsugaru Channel would be Sake, a complicated yet subtle concoction made from rice.
7. The Cook Strait would be…
8. The Manhattan Island Marathon Swim would be…
9. The Maui Channel would be…
10. The Traversee Internationale du lac St-Jean would be…
