Welcome Wednesday: Atlassian-themed drinks!

[Dave LIAO]

👋 It's time for another Welcome Wednesday, a chance to chime in on the forums! (See past WW posts.)

For this Welcome Wednesday, I ask:

Are you a mixologist, or bartender enthusiast?

What cocktails - or mocktails! - would you make that are Atlassian-themed?

• 🍸 Bonus points if you've actually made the drink in real life.
• 🍸🍸 Bonus points if you make the drink, and post a photo here.
• 🍸🍸🍸 Even more bonus points if you dream up a recipe without the help of AI. 🤖

Looking forward to your answers!

[Amanda Barber]

I have some weird, vague recollection of winning an Atlassian-sponsored mixology class, but perhaps I've convoluted that with some other platform I used back in the chaos of 2020! 

I'm sooo not creative with my drinks, but love a good coffee drink. I'll go with a Migrate to Cloud Iced Latte...it would have a marshmallow cold foam (cloud) on top of a creamy iced latte. 

[Sharon Beck]

haha, Amanda, I'm sure you are creative with your drinks. I know I am, just mix whatever you see that you think won't go! Taste - TBD 🤣

[Dave LIAO]

@Sharon Beck - TBD = To Be Drunk? 😅

[Matthew Sinclair]

Alcohol intolerant here - but as a substitute:

Something Blueberry theme'd maybe?

I tend to lean towards coffee - frozen varieties. 

[Dave LIAO]

A Rovo espresso martini? Espress-VO?

[Anne Saunders]

Alternately, just a delicious mocha granita with the logo stenciled on top in a mix of  cinnamon, nutmeg, and powdered sugar.

[Matthew Sinclair]

DO WANT @Anne Saunders 

[Arkadiusz Wroblewski]

Hmm, I will start with brown sugar, add lemon juice, add Sprite or tonic, some vodka, shake it like my nerves are shaking after Migration, add a slice of lemon on top, and drink it with a marshmallow in the shape of the Atlassian logo.

So far as I know myself, we have a high possibility that I drank something like that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Arkadiusz Wroblewski]

@Dave LIAO  if you will be in Amsterdam we can test some of these things 😈

[Viswanathan Ramachandran]

My journey started growing up with mornings meant waiting for the local milkman to arrive with his cow. While I was busy petting the calf and enjoying that quiet warmth fresh milk, eventually transforming into my lifelong love for rich, authentic filter coffee.

I’m a passionate foodie at heart, always looking for ways to blend comforting traditions with inventive new experiences.

If I were to host a themed drinks, I would name as

Jira Filter Coffee

As its uses board, I'll use a memory board where we can write our experiences.

Ingredients: Strong South Indian filter coffee brew, fresh warm milk, dark rum or bourbon, and a touch of jaggery/brown sugar syrup.

• Serve in a classic brass dabara ( a classic vintage copper set/searcg google for dabara) set or a sleek glass mug.

Confluence cocktail

As its known for creative collaboration and documents,  I'll keep a small library - fresh and vibrant .

Ingredients: Coconut rum or vodka, fresh pineapple juice, a splash of blue curaçao (for that iconic Atlassian blue), lime juice, and a splash of sparkling coconut water.

• Serve over crushed ice in a tall glass, garnished with a toasted coconut rim and a fresh mint sprig.

You really should stop by our office sometime and see what we’re drinking 😅

Here’s one called stakloper, which literally translates to “glass cleaner.” With that Atlassian-blue colour, though, we naturally like to associate it with Jira 😄

I honestly couldn’t tell you what’s in this particular mix, but I’ll have to ask one of our colleagues. I believe she used to work as a bartender, and she knows how to make some pretty cool cocktails!

What we actually branded is a shot called "Jira" — basically gin + rakija, which is the one drink if you want to meet the floor immediately. Definitely a killer combo! 🫠

[Arkadiusz Wroblewski]

Challenge accepted :)

[Dave LIAO]

@Tomislav Tobijas - happy to visit sometime! FYI stakloper sounds like a Windex - which is a rather interesting club drink.

A Jira shot sounds WILD. I love gin shots (heh) AND rakija (to drink), but a combination? That sounds like a collection I can't miss. 😅

[Dave LIAO]

My turn!

A. I've joked that a good Jira drink would be called a Full Reindex. Its recipe would be similar to a Long Island Ice Tea, and drinking one would make you sit in-place for at least a half hour.

Obviously this was in the day of on-prem Jira, where indexing was a thing.

B. An actual Atlassian-themed drink would probably have a similar recipe to a Windex (horrible name, I know), which has a super vivid blue color. (I haven't had one in years!)

[Matt Doar _Adaptavist_]

"Full Reindex" is a great name, but sounds like a strong laxative brand to me!

[Arkadiusz Wroblewski]

A full reindex will probably stick in my throat, similar to the feeling I had during the live process in the data center instance 🤣

[Anne Saunders]

I haven't made this, but I didn't use AI and I'm excited to try them!

This would be two NY tall shots.

In the first, a layered "electric screwdriver-ish" concoction of my own devising: orange juice, midori, and blue curaçao in the bottom third of the glass; vodka, blue curaçao, and soda floated on top. (Image is of a "Seahawks Stack" but the colors are about right)

In the second: a Sandy Sheets

Together, they're "Ask Rovo."

.   

[Dave LIAO]

@Anne Saunders - clever hahaha

Take my kudos! ✨

[Dave LIAO]

p.s. I'd try this! Of course, I'd have to make sure I'm not driving later in the evening

[Matt Doar _Adaptavist_]

I want a magic potion called "You Ex" that changes color every few minutes while you are drinking it :)

[Dave LIAO]

@Matt Doar _Adaptavist_ - I read this initially as "Your Ex" and was trying to square that circle! 😅

"You Ex" as in UX? Interesting.

I'd love to invent a drink called "Status Button", but the recipe keeps changing and moving around...
