van showen

A cocktail popularized by Seattle technologists and hipsters in the early 2000's consisting of one part vodka, one part whiskey, and one part tomato juice; garnished with celery, parsley, and sea salt. Intended to challenge to the gustatory fortitude of the drinker, legend has it that drinking a van Showen to completion brings seven years of good luck.

That van showen was the best cocktail I've ever had!

Vanshower

another name for Vancouver, BC, Canada – referring to the city’s excessive amount of rain

A pack of blessings light upon thy back,
Whilst needs be I sit tight within my shack.
From the torrential rain this day I shrink and cower.
‘Tis the price one must pay as a dink in Vanshower.
