There is a serious point here - as someone more familiar with the alcoholic beverage of the company's original name than its wholesome products, I think we need some blockchain-themed cocktails for the holidays (it's probably been done... does anyone have recipes?)

Something with a lot of fizz that leaves you with a bitter aftertaste and a bad hangover?

Looks like there's already a bitcoin cocktail floating about: http://www.barmeister.com/drinks/recipe/7511/?o=by_date

Coke and Mentos, resulting in a briefly frothy mixture followed by a mostly empty glass.

That only works with diet coke.

It works with any carbonated drink, diet coke just happens to be the frothiest of the ones tested.

Cheap gin, soda water, and a salt rim. Depth charge a shot of Jagermeister for extra effect if the price of bitcoin has ended on a negative that day.

The Satoshi Nakamoto

Stir Japanese whiskey (2 oz), dry vermouth (1 oz), absinthe (teaspoon), and Peychaud's bitters (2 shakes) well with cracked ice, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Optional: micropipette the drink into 100,000,000 smaller drinks.

Don't know what (some amount), Anything else (little bit), Unknown item (in large portions)

1. That I have been drinking

And for every day of December you use 10% more alcohol, until on New Years you don't use any.

    1. Use a freezer to make a tray of ice cubes
    2. Use a kettle to boil water
    3. Pour the boiling water over the ice and enjoy lukewarm water that required an excess of power to create.

Buy a fifth of your favorite liquor.

Give it to someone you've never met.

Enjoy.

A decent beer that's been left out a little too long - solid fundamentals that haven't necessarily achieved quite what you want, and may be on the verge of going bad at any moment. Add bitters to taste.

(Not really a cocktail, but oh well :p).
