The Baltimore Zoo is said to have been invented in the mid-1990s at Purdue University in Indiana, but may have been around much longer than that. Its university origin makes sense as the recipe—a Long Island Iced Tea-like cascade of six different spirits and liqueurs topped with, of all things, beer—smacks of collegiate immoderation. What makes less sense is why the high-octane cocktail is named after a popular Maryland attraction. One thing is certain: Drink too many Baltimore Zoos and you too could wind up behind bars.
