Having been a legal drinker for
almost an entire month, I grew tired of
the same old routine of drinking beer
and falling down. 1 wanted something
new, something that would let me
appreciate the taste of alcohol once
again.
Through the efforts of a few talented
bartenders with recipes for specialty
drinks, I have found it.
My quest through downtown Lincoln
bars was a successful one. Not only did
I try a number of specialty drinks, but
the good ones outnumbered the bad.
My personal favorite was Dinsdale's,
1 228 P St., "Mercedes," bartender How
ard Lehman's own creation. "A Mer
cedes is one of your better cars, and
this is one of your better drinks," he
said.
A "Mercedes" is a blend of Peach
Schnapps, Benedictine, and sweet and
sour mix. It's blended and served fro
zen. This is definitely a drink you'd
order for taste rather than to get drunk.
It costs $2.50.
Next was Sandy's, 1348 0 St., and
the traditional "Elk Creek."
The two main alcohols in this drink
are gin and vodka; however, a citrus
flavor covers the strong alcohol taste.
Sandy's has been serving Elk Creeks
for several years, and they've always
been pretty popular, especially with

women, according to Pat Grieve, the
owner. The drink was originally named
the "Elm Creek" after Nebraska's Elm
Creek spring water, he said.
Pitchers are regularly $6.50 and
February 28, 1986 is the Deadline!
All applications for the Student Health and Accident
Insurance must be received by February 28, 1986.

Chock thoso points:
o Am I still eligible for coverage under my parent's plan?
A. Is there an age limit? Most policies limit the age for
dependent coverage to age 23.
B. Are you thinking of marriage? Most policies exclude
a dependent after he becomes married
Have I declared financial independence from
my parents by receiving financial aid, and no
longer eligible as a dependent under their plan?
Would a medical emergency deplete funds
set aside for my education?

glasses go for $1.60, but Elk Creeks are
on special Wednesdays, Thursdays and
Fridays.
Chesterfield, Bottomsley and Potts,
245 N. 13th, serves a "Public House
Special" that ranked pretty high on my
list of favorites. The "Special" is a con
coction of peach brandy, sweet and
sour mix, 7-up and a shot of rum. This
blend of the ingredients creates a
refreshing drink with a whiskey after
taste. Chesterfield's has been serving the
drink for at least five years, said Brady
Wiebeck, bartender. Its label is derived
from the bar's original name of "Ches
terfield, Bottomsley and Potts Public
House Limited." The "Public House
Special" is $2.00.
For those with a sweet tooth, I
recommend the "Comeweiser" at P.O.
Pears, 322 S. 9th. It's made up of a shot
of peppermint schnapps, a shot of
Kahlua, creme and soda, and served
over ice.
The result is a flavor similar to a
York Peppermint Patty. It would make
a nice after dinner liquor. Kevin Cowan,
a bartender at Pear's, said it's one of
those drinks that some of the bartend
ers know and others don't. It sells for
$2.58.
I followed up another hot tip when I
heard Harry's Wonder Bar, 1621 0 St,
had "Chiglets." When I arrived at the
bar, Mike Robinson served me a so
called "Chigiet." It looked like a frosted
mug of beer. It smelled like a frosted
mug of beer, but I thought there must
be some secret to this "specialty
drink."
1 was wrong. A "Chigiet" is a frosty
mug of beer. They were evidently dubbed
as "Chiglets" last August by a group of
UNL football players.
"I guess they named them Chiglets
just because they're cold," said Robin
son. "Everybody likes them, probably
for their price."
The -ost is 75c for 14 ounces of beer.
