GROOVE<br />
(Somewhere in Alaska, 1992): An Eskimo sits atop a frozen lake, ice fishing<br />
and sipping a Red Bull. An unexpected tug on the line jostles the fisherman,<br />
who inadvertently spills the wing-giving energy drink into the wintry<br />
mix beneath him.<br />
Frantic to salvage his beverage, the man uses his bare hands to scoop up<br />
the Red Bull, which has by now become one with the snow. It was then<br />
that he thought to himself, “Wow, if only I had some vodka… this would<br />
be the perfect drink.” At least that’s the story according to Billy Ramirez,<br />
co-owner of the <strong>Pacific</strong> Beach Shore Club.<br />
Paying homage to the legendary Eskimo, Shore Club’s Red Bull Slushie<br />
is an icy mixture of Red Bull and vodka, which are poured into a Slurpeetype<br />
machine and tumbled until frozen, much like the refreshment from<br />
childhood except with a different after effect. The concoction is a major<br />
hit.<br />
“We’re getting another machine just to keep up with demand,” says Ramirez.<br />
