Nerd Party Prep

I'm doing a nerd-themed party in less than two weeks (the real theme of the party is the 80's movie "Real Genius" with Val Kilmer).

Anyways, I've been trying to think up a nerdy list of drinks (at least nerdy-sounding). Here's what I've come up with so far, see what you think:

• Nerds (Midori, Blue curacao, Lemonade)
• Mad Scientist (Midori, Sweet & Sour, 7-up, 151-rum)
• Mitosis (Cognac, Sweet & Sour, Ginger Ale)
• Toxic Waste (Blue Curacao, OJ, Orange liqueur)
• Jellyfish (Vodka, Blue curacao, Sambuca, cream)

Now, I'm not sure if they'll let me play with 151 and fire at this particular party ... Hopefully the rest of the list will be fun fun (btw, it's a biology group).

Any other ideas, guys?

A little food coloring also goes a long way in turning an ordinary cocktail into some mystical creation out of the bio lab.

I'd imagine petri-dish shaped "agar jelly shots" will fly real well too.

Finally, a great excuse to get dry ice for foggy cocktails ;)

Hope those ideas help

Actually, you can probably do a lot with "jellified cocktails" (and the best part is that they can be made ahead of time, sparing you the hectic mixing troubles)!

LA Times had a good article on it earlier this year
