Imagine a bar packed three deep with insurance agents and other industry professionals.

Oh, you've been to a conference before? Then it's not much of a stretch.

If the industry professionals drank cocktails aligned to their primary lines of business, what might they be?

Here are some possibilities.

  1. Health insurance: Jager Energy Drink: Jagermeister, canned energy drink, lemon.
  2. Whole life and term life insurance: The Last Word: Gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, lime juice.
  3. Property insurance: Mudslide: Vodka, coffee liqueur, Irish cream liqueur, heavy cream
  4. Umbrella insurance: Dark and Stormy: Dark rum, ginger beer, lime juice.
  5. Disability insurance: Painkiller: Rum, pineapple juice, cream of coconut, orange juice.
  6. Auto and motorcycle insurance: Sidecar: Cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice.
  7. Pet Insurance: Fluffy Critter: Rum, lime juice, lemonade, strawberry sauce.

  9. Boat insurance: Ancient Mariner: Demerara rum, dark rum, lime juice, grapefruit juice, pimento liqueur, sugar syrup.

Of course, these are hypothetical in nature. Insurance professionals would never drink to excess.
