Exploding Woody

Which TV classic made Jim Phelps cocktail popular?

MORE

Mission: Impossible was an American television series that aired on the CBS network from 1966 to 1973. The show was created and produced by Bruce Geller and it starred Peter Graves as Jim Phelps the leader of an elite covert operations team known as the Impossible Missions Force (IMF). The show also featured a now-iconic theme song composed by Lalo Schifrin.

The show was popular for its various spy-themed missions and it also spawned a number of films and video games. One of the show's most popular elements was the use of a "cocktail" by Phelps before each mission. The cocktail which was simply a glass of bourbon with two ice cubes became known as the "Phelps Cocktail" and was imitated by fans of the show.

Exploding Woody
exploding woody is a popular Rum cocktail containing a combinations of Mountain Dew,Captain Morgan`s Spiced Rum,Southern Comfort .Served using Any Glass of your Choice
Like an unstable stick of dynamite, the aptly-named Exploding Woody shot needs to be handled with extreme care and consumed quickly before it detonates on you! Combining Mountain Dew soda, coconut rum and whiskey liqueur, it`s layered carefully in a shot glass then quickly pounded before all that carbonation has a chance to build up. Slam the empty shot glass upside down onto the bar immediately after shooting, allowing the volatile liquor mixture to explosively decompress inside the sealed vessel. It`s a loud, messy shot, not for the faint hearted...but considered a rite of passage in some drinking circles. Caution - clean up the splash damage immediately lest you anger the bartender!

  • Captain Morgans Spiced Rum

    Captain Morgan is a brand of flavored rums produced by British alcohol conglomerate Diageo. It is named after the 17th-century Welsh privateer of the Caribbean, Sir Henry Morgan. – Wikipedia

  • Southern Comfort

    Southern Comfort is an American, fruit flavoured whiskey liqueur. Originally created by bartender Martin Wilkes Heron in New Orleans in 1874, the brand has gone through closure during the Prohibitions and transitions and transfer of ownership.

    Spirit Historian Chris Morris describes the original recipe of Southern Comfort in an episode of The Thirsty Traveler titled "A River of Whiskey"

    Heron began with good-quality bourbon and would add: An inch [2.5 cm] of vanilla bean, about a quarter of a lemon, half of a cinnamon stick, four cloves, a few cherries, and an orange bit or two. He would let this soak for days. And right when he was ready to finish, he would add his sweetener: he liked to use honey. - Wikipedia

    In the United States, Southern Comfort is available as 42 US proof (21% ABV), 70 US proof (35% ABV), 100 US proof (50% ABV), and 60 US proof (30% ABV) in Australia. Varieties including additional flavorings, such as lime and caramel, were introduced by Brown–Forman in the latter years of their ownership. These were discontinued by Sazerac - Wikipedia
