As discussed here, The Cherrishinski is the Official Beverage/Food of Doom(TM) for the Dawgs. It has been the subject of numerous blog articles, a podcast from the Realist and JMac as well as a profile in the AJC. Backstory for any newbies to this site:
In his book Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer, Warren St. John talks about traveling with some Alabama fans who invented a drink/popper called the "Bama Bomb." The Bama Bomb consists of cherries marinated in golden grain alcohol for a period of weeks or months.We lost the game, but The Cherrishinski reappeared for the Auburn game that same year. Another loss. JMac and The Realist tempted fate and added it to their tailgate as profiled in the AJC in 2006, and it foreshadowed the debacle at home vs. the Vols. A loss they are unwilling to pin on their fruity friend.
After the 2005 UT game, Dawgnoxious took a large jar of cherries and marinated them in a Golden Grain/Makers Mark mix. The creation debuted Friday night before the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. We all made a pact that if Georgia (quarterbacked by Joe T) won the Gator game this hellish creation would forever be known as "The Cherrishinski."
A full jar of Cherrishinskis now sits in the basement of Butts-Mehre as described by Dawgs-N-Suds.
Why bring this up now?
Well, we've dabbled with some quasi similar creations at our tailgate including The Cherry Hoage which seems to vary from week to week in recipe, but somehow involves Makers Mark and Cherries (without the aging process).
And now, TheUnknownStuntman (a regular commenter on this site) has proposed the rebirth of the Cherrishinski as:
First, brilliant name. But I wonder if we're tempting fate here? Is the margin of error for the Bama game wide enough to support a venture so close to its ill fated predecessor? With a name that good, we need some kind of drink to go along with it.
Agree? Disagree? Suggested new recipe?

you should be charged with treason if you bring this to another pregame.
keep up the otherwise great work...
The Moreshino must be kept, voodoo be damned.
In fact, I think they should called Moreshino Carries and a tailgate of people should be required to consume a number equal to Knowshon's forecasted/hoped for carries.
not to be bad times here but let's hold off on this concotion
I am not superstitious but you better not bring this to Bama. Jes' sayin'.
Two things that should be banned forever from all pre-game festivities: Paratroopers and Cherrishinskis.
thank you lawdawg.
and what's this about marcus washington starting and b. miller isn't? does miller intentionally not practice? i dont understand
What about not partaking before the game, if we win, you can use them to celebrate. If we Bama wins, you can put a rag in the jar, light it and do property damage. Win-win.
Oops, error. I meant to say, "If Bama wins..."
"The Knowshon Moreshino."
2 Parts Makers Mark
1 Part Tonic Water
Grenadine to taste
1 Moreshino Cherry
GO Dawgs
Abooyahh
My wife makes some killer bourbon apples that undoubtedly contributed to our win at Ga Tech in 05.
At the least, they contributed to quite the buzz for quite a few people around our tailgate, and made me some $$ when Techies started offering me dollars for slices of apple.
They need a name flashy nickname though; any suggestions?
i have a pretty long leash for deleting comments.
but you can't say a player "sucks" on here. There's message boards for that.
Perhaps we need to think of another lucky foodstuff... What about a Bruce Figgins Newton? A Casey Nickels Pickle? A Percy Croffie Coffee? A Michael Lemonade? A Ramarcus Brownie?
+ 1 for Bruce Figgins Newton
Others....
Neland Party Ball
Sean Bailey's and Coffee
Seems like there should be some sort of Crown Royal drink involving Caleb king.
sorry pwd, but it was the truth.
let me rephrase:
"and what's this about marcus washington starting and b. miller isn't? does miller intentionally not practice? i dont understand"
its quite simple - Brandon Miller is not good.
As much as I hate to admit it, I really wish we at the now-infamous Tent City had come up with Knowshon Marashino. Alas, for this season at least we will continue to enjoy it under the moniker of "Darius Dewcherry".
I had also bombarded our tailgate e-mail thread with different food stuffs a while back, for example:
Bruce Figgins Pudding
Brandon Coutu-na Casserole (or if you like chick peas, Brandon Coutuscous)
Scott HaverVanKamp's Pork n' Beans and/or Walter Hill O' Beans
Andy and Sean's Irish Cream
Kris DurHam n' Cheese Sandwiches
I have too much time on my hands...
Hi Dave. Like some sort of boozy Martha Stewart, am the namer of the above foodstuffs including the Bruce Figgins Newton and I am also the one responsible for introducing the now infamous front page cherry to Tent City. This controversy just won't die, will it? We'll be introducing a new drink this week at Bama... the Michael Lemonade: equal parts lemonade and Dewcherry juice.
It's hard to believe we can't do something with Darius Dewberry.
I mean, people, that's so obvious.
What is it with Tent City and all your non-UGA flags? What are you running over there, the United Nations?
"What is it with Tent City and all your non-UGA flags? What are you running over there, the United Nations?"
No, we're much more powerful than the UN. I was going to contribute a St. Andrew's cross, but in typical Scot fashion I got so drunk I lost it.
Long live the Moreshino!
I have read Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer and i love the reference to the cherries. was first had some last year before the Vandy/UGA game. introduced to me by a couple og UGA friends. I made some myself and took the to the Nascar race in Darlington back in May and a friend of mine ate 1 after alot of peer pressure and i think his name for them are going to be waht we call them forever..... he called them Damnit Balls!
