O is for ...

... Osgood


I'm calling this the "Osgood Cocktail".  Osgood is a character in Doctor Who who is a fan of the Doctor -- she wears a 4th Doctor scarf, a 7th Doctor vest and various other Doctor clothing items -- sometimes at the same time, sometimes not.  In the Day of the Doctor, a Zygon took her form and now there are two Osgoods.  However, we never know which Osgood is which (human or Zygon).

This cocktail was originally called "The Imposter" (recipe from here).

Ingredients:
  • 2 oz. gin
  • 1 oz. fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz. simple syrup (1:1)
  • 3 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 basil leaves
  • 2 dashes Tabasco
  • basil leaf (optional garnish)
According to the cocktail description, "This savory cocktail takes the familiar flavors of a Bloody Mary and gives them a lighter, brighter spin, with a kick of Tabasco spice."  So, is it a Bloody Mary or an Imposter? or rather is it Osgood or the Zygon?  The answer:  it doesn't matter.
