Dead Baby Boy is a drink referenced from the film "Man Bites Dog", although the true origin is unknown.

2 oz gin
8 oz tonic water
1 sugar cube
1 olive

Pour the gin and tonic into a highball glass. Attach the olive to the sugar cube with a piece of dental floss, and drop it into the drink. When the sugar cube has dissolved the olive will float to the surface. The olive represents the dead baby boy, and the sugarcube is the ballast.

I always assumed the director concocted the drink for the sake of the movie. This game introduced me to the world of alcohol. My rating is based on entertainment value instead of flavor, tho. From what I can recall (not much) it tastes much like a gin n soda.

I mean uh.. I meant to say gin n tonic or gin n soda. We were too young to be picky about that. Too concerned constructing our little victims.

Very amusing drink, awesome movie, you need to tie the cube to the olive

1 shake and pour the gin and tonic,
2 tie the olive to the cube with thread
3 drop in the dead baby boy
as the sugar dissolves it will send the olive to the top, first olive up buys the round.
