Baltimore Zoo Recipe Information


The Baltimore Zoo drink was founded at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana (IN), somewhere in the 1990's. Purdue graduate of '97, Leon A. Bogucki, kindly described it as "a glorified Long Island Iced Tea without the coke", and "like drinking Kool-Aid". He also recalled "I remember it being the big thing right around 1995 ... I used to know the bartender that claimed he invented it". There are several variations, one of which is to replace the splash of beer with sprite. Leon also told us the best Baltimore Zoo's are served at Harry's Chocolate Shop in West Lafayette itself.
