Aphrodisiacs in spirits

[Bill Poster]

In the UK we had ROXOFF , a vodka based drink which fell foul to uk law and disappeared.

A bar in London is now doing aphrodisiac cocktails(shochu/boisbande)

Anything interesting in the States?

Every spirit is an aphrodisiac in sufficent quantity

True!

Curious..... There are so few true aphrodisiacs (Spanish fly probably the best known) that I wonder what they are using in such cocktails????

Oyster shot.

Or oyster juice -- dunno about it exactly but the Canadians love clam juice (for their Bloody Caesars) so I'm sure oyster juice would be just as good.

Spanish fly is not a "true" aphrodisiac. It is, however, poisonous.

Bois bande- some in the caribbean attest to its powers

Nutmeg is a mild aphrodisiac

It doesn't cause arousal; it causes inflammation and swelling. It passes out of the body through the urine, so if you're a guy, it causes an erection, if a girl, swollen clitoris. So it can cause, if you're nitpicky, physical arousal. But it's not really what anyone in his right mind would call an aphrodisiac.

Yum!
