History Main / UmbrellaDrink

* After being unfairly characterized as a coward, [[The Critic Jay Sherman]] decides to man up and shrug off his perceived wimpiness, and he starts by pounding down an especially frilly one of these.

* As noted in the page quote, Ridcully warns against these in ''{{Discworld/Hogfather}}''. Bilious, the (Oh) God of Hangovers, harbours a particular hatred for them.

->"Never drink any drink [[LightIsNotGood with a paper umbrella in it]], never drink any drink [[FluffyTheTerrible with a humorous name]], and never drink any drink that [[GargleBlaster changes colour when the last ingredient goes in]]."

* ''{{UHF}}'' - Weird Al is facing total failure with his new TV channel and goes to drown his sorrows at the bar with a big fancy umbrella drink. He didn't drink but decided it was a good time to start.

* In ''CurseOfMonkeyIsland'', the umbrella is a plot point: [[spoiler:You have to order a fruity drink with an umbrella in it. The bartender Goodsoup is out, so he'll give you a regular umbrella instead. Doubles as a parachute later.]]

* ''TronLegacy'', of all things, manages to have this--inside the Grid, no less. The "umbrella" appears to be made out of glass and metal, fittingly enough.

*** There's even a Demon Lord [[GodJob dedicated to Fruity Drinks.]]

* One particularily memorable thread on [[ImageBoards /m/]] had various posters coming up with recipes for ''{{Gundam}}'' and other HumongousMecha-themed cocktails. One of these, "The [[TurnAGundam Laura Rolla]]", needs to be served with an umbrella for the joke to work. Specifically, [[spoiler:[[WholesomeCrossdresser you need it to hide the cocktail weiner]].]]

** In ''Discworld/MenAtArms'', Detritus orders a "molten sulphur on coke with phosphoric acid", "with umbrella in it". Nobby's "Long Slow Double Entendre with a fruit salad in it" is also an example.
** Featurd again in ''Discworld/{{Thud}}'', when Cheery, Angua and Sally go on a girls' night out. Towards the end of the evening, Sally ''throws up'' a humorous umbrella.

* [[HornyDevils Sabine]] of the [[TheOrderOfTheStick Linear Guild]] is shown drinking a suitably girly pink cocktail with umbrella in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0252.html this strip]].

A curved glass filled with bright pink (or blue, or orange...) fluid, garnished with little pieces of fruit and decorated with the all-important paper cocktail umbrella. This cocktail is associated with Pacific islands, especially HulaAndLuaus vacations. A tiki-themed tourist trap is not complete without a row of colorful rum-based cocktails, which are identifiable more by their decorations than by their contents, a visual shorthand for the type of drink one usually doesn't get at the local pub.

* One of the few unambiguously funny scenes in ''[[{{Film.Zodiac}} Zodiac]]'' involves Robert Graysmith's (presumably accurate, he wrote the book) bizarre choice of drink (it's an ''aqua velva'').

** Most of the drinks made with this skill are deemed "Fruity girl drinks" by the game's LemonyNarrator. The rest are labeled "Extra-fruity girl drinks". With an ''evil'' paper umbrella, you can mix "Evil fruity girl drinks".
