July 16 is the anniversary of the first atomic bomb explosion on July 16, 1945 in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Making the best of impending Cold War annihilation, bartenders back then stirred up wonderful libations like the Duck and Cover, the Atomic Fireball, and the Oppenheimer Martini. Luckily, today, the world possesses slightly less than 14,000 nuclear warheads. We feel so much safer now.
