“Psyched to use pizza grease, something I am known to be very fond of,” Henry Prendergast of Analogue e-mailed me—about the last response I expected after the Violet Hour’s John Smillie challenged him to make a drink with the stuff. Not only was he psyched, Prendergast immediately knew the perfect source for his ingredient: Dante’s Pizzeria, whose pepperoni he deems “Chicago’s finest slice.”
Rounding out the drink are simply lime juice and, of course, the King of Beers—his inspiration, after all, was pizza and Bud.
Prendergast has challenged Kristin Wolfel of the Charleston to make a drink with catnip. “Maybe he chose it because I’m constantly showing everyone pictures of my cat (really embarrassing—I need to stop doing that),” she e-mailed.
