Beam me down a bottle of Buckie

Aberdeen council wants local pubs and clubs to cash in by inventing a range of Star Trek themed drinks. The idea comes from the character Scotty who claimed in one episode to be, "an old Aberdeen pub crawler".

I recently heard of a “cocktail” which involved mixing Campari with Buckfast – the person describing the drink was understandably unsure as to the proportions, a dodd of each probably.

I propose calling this drink “The Redshirt”, given its colour and the effect it is likely to have on the unfortunate drinker.
