From time to time, a new Whynatte drink appears on the scene, and grows to the point where it becomes a part of the Whynatte vernacular. The Saint and the Whynatte Bomb did it. The Slim Mint made it. The Toucan as well. And there are a bunch of Whynatte drinks that are on the cusp of the majors, just one good homestand away from making the squad. We have depth throughout the organization, as one might say. Sure, we make mistakes; I remember when Andy thought that the Whynatte dropped into lambs blood, and served with a fern as a garnish was going to take off, and I went along with it.

However, there are some cocktails that hit it out of the park from day 1. The “Whippet” is one of them. Made with Whynatte Latte and Pinnacle Whipped Cream vodka, this combo is the answer to a question you didn’t even know you wanted to ask. Like an adult bobcat, it’s strong without being heavy, and just crazy enough to take down a full grown man.

I am actually craving one right now, they’re so good. They’re like the new water. There’s a bunch of bars in Atlanta making Whippets, and its even spread to the Mezzanine Lounge in Houston.

Here are some of the spots that I know of which are making Whippets. If you work at a bar and are making them, please let us know so that we can add you to the list:

DBA BBQ on N. Highland. $3 Whippets day in and day out.
Tin Lizzy’s (all 3 locations). $4 Whippets.
Mezzanine Lounge (Houston)
Hudson Grille
Mellow Mushroom (Brookhaven)
The Cheetah
Capital Room (Athens)
Zucca (Smyrna)
