[Haskell-cafe] Model beverage

[Henk-Jan van Tuyl]

The great scientist Steve Ballmer of Microsoft made us aware of the  
positive effects of alcohol on software development, see the science site  
XKCD for an explanation:
   The Ballmer Peak
   https://xkcd.com/323/

The Ballmer Peak is proven to exist according to The Observer:

There is actually a number of Haskell-related drinks:
   Haskell wine (from South-Africa)

   Haskell's Rum

   Haskell's Vodka

And a recipe for the cocktail The Ross on Haskell:

Maybe you could eat Haskell seafood to go with the drinks:
