The Charlie Sheen train wreck continues to disgust and fascinate us, inspiring Mad Libs, an online glossary, a gastronomic history and Twitter hashtags. But the oddest by-product of the Sheen meme has to be the cocktail recipes. You can thank the actor's televised rantings for the slew of Tiger's Blood and Adonis DNA drinks showing up in New York and Chicago bars.

Interestingly enough, our Los Angeles bars haven't jumped on the crazy express with their New York counterparts. So we asked several of L.A.'s top bartenders to come up with their own “Warlock”-inspired drinks. Most said no with their silence, except Matthew Biancaniello of Hollywood Roosevelt's Library Bar who replied, “Love you but no interest, thanks.”

However, we did find a few who were game, even doing the research on the actor first since they hadn't been following his story. Keep in mind that these drinks are for you to make at home since none of them will be appearing at their respective bars. Turn the page for 8 cocktail recipes inspired by the former star of Two and a Half Men, and (perhaps) Mark Cuban's MVP, after Dirk Nowitzki.

Joseph Brooke of the Edison downtown came up with a couple: His Extremely Highball, which he follows with, “If you're a winner, you'll be able to drink more than one,” and his jokey The Single-Speed F-18, a term Sheen used to describe his habit of dropping F-bombs.

Kiowa Bryan of the upcoming Lexington Social House in Hollywood went so far as to make sure her ingredients for Wild Thing (Sheen's character in Major League) included “2 ½ Men” and blood orange in place of tiger's blood.

The Spare Room's Naomi Schimek drew her inspiration for “The Sheen Dream” from the actor's career. “He started out smoking hot and ended up crazy cool,” says Schimek.

Alex Straus of Hemingway's Lounge in Hollywood teamed up with San Francisco's The Bon Vivants to create an absinthe cocktail. Absinthe “because [Sheen is] definitely seeing things we don't, aka winning.” And the drink is named The Bitter End “because we all know this isn't going to be a happy ending,” says Straus.
