I hope that the network here at work (and Blogger) are a little more stable today, otherwise I may need to get some liquor up in here and start taste-testing these cocktails. Reader Will H. has sent in this link to some nice Champale advertising; before you say that Champale is not a cocktail, let me provide a recipe you could use it in:

Huckle-My-Butt
1 quart beer (or malt liquor that looks sort of like champagne)
1/2 pint brandy
2 eggs
Sugar to taste
Small amounts of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg
Stir thoroughly until well mixed

The Champale has also reminded of a similar-sounding concoction which Fred Sanford would mix up for special occasions, Champipple, which is a mixture of champagne and Ripple in equal proportions. Ripple was a brand of very cheap fortified wine that is no longer manufactured, but after a few glasses of Chammaddog or Champancisco you'll be so busy yelling at Julio and his goat to get out of your yard that you won't notice any difference.
