IN THE SPIRIT of The Decameron, Masque of the Red Death and Bonfire of the Vanities, we defy the doomsayers and present the Swine Flu Cocktail. With a dash of Mexico, a splash of medicinal herbs, and a touch of pork (which the FDA says is fine to consume) for good measure, this drink will either cure you or make you not care.

UPDATE!
I've tweaked this recipe just a bit and have produced a very balanced, enjoyable cocktail. Give it a shot! Or three!
Wash glass with splash of Zwack (originally crafted in Hungary as a medicinal remedy). Discard (or drink) liquid.
1 shot bacon-infused bourbon (recipe here)
1/2 shot reposado or anejo tequila
juice of 1/4 muddled lemon
splash of limoncello (up to 1/2 shot)
Shake with ice (or stir), strain and pour over ice. Garnish with superfruit (blueberries, blackberries or mango slice)
Do not share the glass with others!
Sip through straw if you're wearing a blue surgical mask.
Wash glass with splash of Absinthe or Zwack (both were originally crafted as medicinal remedies), discard (or drink) liquid.
1 shot reposado or anejo tequila1 shot bacon-infused bourbon (recipe here)1/2 shot limoncello ORjuice of 1/4 muddled lemon(add 1/2 shot agave nectar if you want a sweeter drink)
Do not share the glass with others!
