Q: I just saw a clip from one of my favorite “Cheers” episodes where Woody wins a bet against another bartender for knowing how to make a “Screaming Viking.”Is there such a drink, and how would it be made?
– Joseph Cea
A: How do you make a Screaming Viking? Tell him Brett Favre is going to retire again.
But, on to your question. There is, indeed, such a drink. In fact, it’s been around a long time and has settled into a “classic” recipe that is a takeoff on a basic vodka martini.
2 ounces vodka
1 ounce dry vermouth
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 celery stalk
1 cucumber spear
Stir liquids with ice, strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with celery and cucumber and serve immediately.
