The Jackson Five is a truly horrid
mixed drink,
concocted not for the
delight of the
palate but as an
assault on the same intended to challenge the
gag reflex,
stomach lining, and general
sanity of the imbiber. The Jackson five contains equal parts:
Jim Beam bourbon whiskey;
Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey;
Jameson Irish Whiskey;
Johnnie Walker Red Label
Scotch whiskey; and the topper,
Jose Cuervo Especial gold
tequila.
Connoisseurs will observe that this simply takes what's oft known as
The Four Horsemen and ups it a
notch with Mr. Jameson. Which is itself a jump-up from the
Three Wise Men, an only slightly-less-than palatable
conflagration of just Jim, Jack and Johnny. It is the mixing of tequila with these three whiskeys which makes the whole a
vile,
virile mess, so adding a fourth whiskey in the form of Jameson to a five drink whole actually possibly has a more
salutary effect on the drink, diluting that one most
alien flavor from the bunch.
The name has nothing really to do with that most famously fronted
Motown group of them all, beyond it having been snatched from the
aether as a catchy and convenient
moniker for five
alcoholic beverages featuring men's names beginning with the letter "
J" -- which makes this a perfect drink to showcase on
Sesame Street on the day that letter is the one featured. Possibly augmented, as well, with a different kind of "
Jay."
Drink in good health!!
