That's a truly unique piece. Fun.
Boxcar or Moscow mule???
I just made a Boxcar drink and so so for me. Sticking with a Moscow mule. Love the ginger beer.
Made up name for a California cocktail drink (they thought it was exotic). Traditionally served in a hammered copper mug.

Decided to look it up, turns out there are several recipes. This sounds good.
Ingredients for a Boxcar

I guess the egg white is protein to moderate the alcohol.

It was not horrible and not too bad. Definitely will make again at some point. The other recipe I found used Bourbon but didn't do that one.
I did the recipe without the egg white. Egg white doesn't add much to taste (though it does mellow out the alcohol) but does add a very nice creamy mouth feel to a drink. For whiskey sours I will add an egg white depending on how I feel. I did use Grand Marnier which overpowered the gin a bit. If I ever make this again I'll use triple sec.
To me a Moscow mule is just tastier. I like the heat from a good ginger beer. Personal preference.
Now have you ever tried a B52? My last assignment was at a B52 base so had to imbibe quite a few at the O-Club with all the trainee pilots. A beautiful layered drink.

The B-52 is a popular, eye-catching shot composed of three liqueurs: Baileys Irish cream, Grand Marnier and coffee liqueur.The drink's origin is not completely clear, but rather than being named for the 1950s-built B-52 bomber, it is believed to have originated during the 1970s by a bartender and fan of the iconic band The B-52s.
Unfortunately, I can't stand the taste of coffee, otherwise this probably tastes a little like the orange and vanilla ice cream bars I remember so fondly from my chidhood, but with a pretty big kick. I'm really a bourbon type. I love a well made Manhattan.

Surprisingly, it tastes like chocolate milk. It is yummers. I keep the ingredients on hand since I occasionally and/or randomly make one.
Also, since the B52's band got their name from the B52 Bomber Stratofortress its all good. To keep it on task, here is a mediocre B52 grey scale height map image pattern for your carving fun.

I retired a couple of years ago so if I want a cocktail for lunch I make myself a cocktail for lunch (with a side of smoked brisket). lol. My wife does give me the evil eye. Started with a Mai Tai. I will transition to a Bourbon/Whiskey sour.
What pattern should I make for the sour??

I'll have to try one. The recipe I see is vodka, cranberry, and grapefruit. Sounds refreshing.
