You already know that we love our Summer Cocktails and we have to admit that we also love a healthy splash of Bad Celebrity Behavior at hotels. So you can imagine our joy to learn that the Oak Room at The Plaza has created an awesome mash-up of these two things with its new Bipolar Gibson Cocktail.

That's right, this new drink is inspired by the batshit-bananas behavior of Mel Gibson.

The Gibson is already a classic cocktail, but The Oak Room's executive chef Eric Hara tells People magazine that he decided to turn it into "something thoroughly twisted."

If you think you can handle one without taking to the phone for a drunken tirade or 10, here's what's in it:

The Mel Gibson, a Bipolar Cocktail

• 1 oz Van Gogh Vodka
• 1 oz. Bols V.O. Genever Gin
• ¾ oz. vermouth
• 3 oz. club soda
• Splash of cocktail onion juice

As for presentation, we suggest you follow the Hara/People mag recommendation:

Best served on the rocks – like Gibson's career.

Cheers to that.

Needs to be more potent

Maybe some arsenic and hemlock would put this misogynistic bigot out of our collective misery?  Speaking figuratively, of course.
