Poisonous Dog
Contains Alcohol:  Yes
Style: Cocktail
Glass Type: Beer Mug or Pilsner Glass
Ingredients: 2

Recipe:
1/2 pint Brennivin Schnapps
1/2 pintIcelandic Soda (Orange)

Instructions

Simple but deadly, bites like a dog but leaves a sting like a viper. Invented by two Americans in a moment of desperation while visiting Iceland in Fall of 2004 and has since grown in popularity in parts of Iceland and South Carolina. To some, its the only way to make Brenavin drinkable. A warning, though: the effects of the poisonous dog sneak up on you suddenly, more so than just about any other drink in my experience; you'll sip it for a little while and feel nothing, and then BAM.Couldn't be simpler to make. Simply fill a Beer mug halfway up with Brenavin and fill the other half up with Icelandic Orange Soda. Regular American OJ can be substituted if necessary.
