The A-Roid cocktail

It was, perhaps, inevitable that someone would create an A-Roid cocktail.

That someone is Bonfire. It's offering the drink along with its seasonal Red Sox menu -- Francona's franks, truffled Papel-corn, Guinness "Big Frapi," etc.

What is an A-Roid cocktail, you ask? A shot of El Mejor tequila, straight up, with a "Performance-Enhancing Boost of Spicy Tomato 'Juice'" (smoked tomatoes, tomato juice, lemon juice, Tabasco, and jalapenos). It comes in a syringe without a needle; you can inject it into the shot or use it as a chaser.

Am I the only one who's actually starting to feel a little sorry for A-Rod?

The Recipe Box Project:

If you want to contribute a recipe to The Recipe Box Project, please write it below. Also tell us where you got it (package box, cookbook, mom, friend -- include the name). We're looking for the kinds of dishes that people grew up on, that were served at family suppers, that tell a story, that are typically New England, or that you brought with you from a far away place to New England. We will print one of the recipes in the Food section once a month. To ask any questions, write to Debra Samuels, who is overseeing this project, at recipebox@globe.com.
