Lawrence Libations: The Phog at Bird Dog Bar

With everyone still riled up about Monday night’s triple-overtime win over Oklahoma, it seemed only appropriate to extend the celebration with this week’s Lawrence Libation.

The Bird Dog Bar’s extremely potent KU-themed cocktail, cleverly titled The Phog because it will “leave you in the fog,” according to the menu, is a blend of rum, gin, brand and Curaçao. There’s also orange juice and grenadine in this, ahem, spirited cocktail, which, coupled with the blue Curaçao, makes for a very festive tribute to the Jayhawk and all things KU.

Down one of these Phogs before heading to the fieldhouse for a big game or to celebrate another Jayhawk win. But, as the saying goes, Beware of The Phog. (Seriously, you guys, drink responsibly.)

The hard stuff: Captain Morgan spiced rum, Bombay Sapphire gin, blue Curaçao

Where it’s served: Bird Dog Bar at The Oread hotel, 1200 Oread Ave.

What you’ll pay: $8

Other libations at this location: More KU-inspired cocktails, like the Wescoe Beach (it sure looked appealing on the menu, unlike its eyesore namesake), and the Jayhawk and Crimson shots, pictured here alongside The Phog. The Bird Dog has the classics, too: sidecars, mojitos and the like.

Drink up. Stay classy. Don’t forget to tip your bartender. And let us know if you want to suggest a libation for this feature — email jhlavacek@ljworld.com or Tweet her at Twitter.com/hlavacekjoanna. Cheers.
