This comes to us thanks to the ultra swank, cocktail loving band Combustible Edison. If you are feeling adventurous you should try the flaming version!

I do agree that the name “Edisonian” may not relay the history as intended.

I’m not big on name reclamation. I’d be MUCH more interested in honoring these fabulous women by bellying up to the bar and slurping a ‘Fabulous Inventrix,’ or a ‘Margaret Knight’s Gears’ (Drunk out of a paper bag, of course!)

Or how bout a sip of “Charlotte Smith’s Invention?”

Screw Edison’s legacy (Didn’t invent the lightbulb, but got all the credit.), and Screw the “Lady Edison-izing” of these fabulous women.
