HAZZARDOUS COCKTAIL

"The Dukes of Hazzard" may be getting stinky reviews, but some viewers will probably still enjoy Jessica Simpson's "method acting" as Daisy Duke. BarGeek.com has a cocktail named after the short-shorts-wearing Southern belle. The Daisy Duke calls for bourbon, Cointreau, lemon juice, simple syrup and club soda. One too many may elicit the proverbial "Yee-haw."

SEEING DOUBLE?

Not sure if the powers that be at Bar Joel (3290 Northside Parkway, Atlanta) were listening to Foreigner when they crafted the Double Vision. It's a one-two punch of Gekkeikan Plum Wine and Cristalino Brut Cava (sparkling wine). At $8 a glass, we hope the buzzing "Head Games" come quickly.

PEACHY BUZZ

In honor of Downtown Atlanta Restaurant Week (you pay $20.05 for a three-course meal at certain spots), the mixologists at City Grill and Dailey's concocted an official signature cocktail. The Absolut Apeach Buzz martini mixes two ounces of Apeach Absolut vodka, one ounce each of chambord and triple sec, a large splash of Rose's Lime and three dashes of bitters. All restaurants participating in the event are set to serve the martini. The list can be found at www.atlantadowntown.com.
