KFC launches a questionable range of gravy-infused cocktails
Metro UK ^ | 1/15/17 | Lisa Bowman

[snip] This time? Oh, they’ve gone big.

The Colonel and his cronies have only gone and made a KFC cocktail menu – with each drink featuring gravy as a key ingredient.

Before you get all excited about KFC having got itself an alcohol license, you need to calm yourself down, for you won’t be able to buy a boneless Bellini with your bargain bucket anytime soon.

They’ve created the saucy recipes, but you’re going to have to make them at home.

The Gravy Mary. Now this one we can get behind – the classic Bloody Mary is a savoury affair anyway, so what harm can a bit of gravy do?

The Finger Lickin’ Sour. They say this one’s a refreshing palate cleanser – which we’re not convinced about due to the addition of gravy, but hey, we love a bit of mezcal, so wouldn’t deny this a place in our mouths.

The Southern Twist. This is apparently a beautiful marriage of savoury and sweet – despite just looking like a marriage of whisky and gravy. Which sounds like a marriage doomed for divorce, to be honest.

I think I’d rather have a gravy latte instead.

“despite just looking like a marriage of whisky and gravy.”

Its a waste of time eating THEN boozing. Combine them both. And it better be 30-proof gravy..;P

Probably a good way to waste good whiskey.

In a pinch, the gravy could be a substitute for sterno.

Heh, and just last night, I was watching an old Bob Newhart show. Howard Borden was cooking dinner for Bob and Emily. Offered Bob a cocktail... Would have been a “Bullshot”.... but because he had no beef bouillon, he used chicken broth.

I would do that for the "honey sauce" they supply to sweeten your biscuit. It's mostly unhealthful high fructose corn syrup. Why the hell can't they use pure honey?
