Welcome to the second installment of Mad Men Cocktail Fridays! In season 4 of Mad Men, SCDP takes on Mountain Dew as a client. Given the task of creating cocktail recipes, the copywriters can't figure it out because they are focused on ignoring Peggy's authority. While Peggy is busy "pioneering the science of wet blanketry" because she insists a cocktail needs at least three ingredients, they drink vodka and Mountain Dew, or Rocket Fuel.
A group of incompetent copywriters could be classified as a minor emergency, so Peggy probably deserves a glass of "Rocket Fuel." Firing Joey was probably a better reward.
📖 Recipe
Rocket Fuel Recipe
Rocket Fuel is a cocktail with two ingredients: Mountain Dew and vodka.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ ounces vodka
- 1 cup Mountain Dew
Instructions
- Get a glass.
- Pour in vodka and Mountain Dew.
- Stir with a pen or pencil.
- Consume.
Notes
- Joey says, "It tastes good because it still basically tastes like Mountain Dew." Peggy says it's great for young people and hillbillies.
