I've been invited to a cocktail party at the weekend, everyone brings the ingredients for a cocktail of their choice , enough for everyone. (Could get messy, there's 12 of us going).
The theme is 'Dearly departed', to commemorate the big names who died in 2916 so far.

I'm drawing a blank. Purple Rain has been baggsied so can't do that.
Does anyone have any inspiration?

A cocktail for people who will die 900 years in the future!
It has to be a champagne cocktail such as "Cristal Ball".

A bit expensive though.

Aargh.
2016.
Serves me right for doing this post late at night without wearing my reading glasses.

Google David Bowie cocktails and there's loads.

Any cocktail that is a short would work for Ronnie Corbett

Ha ha! This is in terrible taste.

I like it.

Something with absinthe in it. A Victoria (worm)wood

You could just refuse to accept the loss of your idol and turn up with a corpse reviver

Yeah, that's a euphemism for a cocktail too many, right?

Something Irish ( Terry wogan) he loved a martini, but not very exciting show stopping cocktail.
Also magic cocktails (Paul Daniels)
