beer.
There's nothing wrong with a little imagination whilst you are cleaning out your licker cabinets. Sheesh.
If I can't drink it straight or on the rocks, I'm probably better off not drinking it.
I like bourbon and limeade. Yum!

a sunny balcony, a mojito and some psydub with vocoders probably would beat the same thing with a beer
however, unless it is a korenwolf white beer (http://"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kiyomi-and-the-gang/25771647/") and the electric six

Mojitos are in fact fantastic.
But I'm big on martinis, gin & tonics, dark & stormies... Actually, anything with booze in it. I have a high alcohol tolerance for someone so small, and a love of drinking till I can't feel feelings. So, basically, anything.
I enjoy Irish cream in hot chocolate, though. Very tasty and good for at night before bed.
I am the opposite of you when I get drunk, in that I feel feelings SO MUCH. OH SO MUCH. Also, the main feeling I feel is LOVE.
When I start drinking, I just want to hug and kiss EVERYONE I see.
But then I keep drinking until I have not feelings and then pass out.
I am a very healthy person, mostly. :D

Lawl. Indeterminate indeed.
"Here how's that taste?"
"...Whoa."
"Awesome!"
Mix this in a recycled milk gallon jug:
1 Part Parrot Bay/Malibu/Barcardi CoCo
1 Part Island Blue Pucker
1 Part Pineapple Juice.
Shake it up. Serve, and enjoy.
:fap:
You're shitfaced before you even know it. Right Richter?
Yeah, you sit around drinking it for awhile, then you try to stand up.
And you can't :|
Perfect summertime drink :mrgreen:

agreed. a good mojito is a good thing, as is a good single-malt or the occasional 1.5L bottle of shitty port.
and Electric Six demands Delerium Nocturnus. or Harviestoun Old Engine Oil Black Ale.

Richter has had the pleasure of having to carry me to his car after a few of these.
Rum usually makes me vomit.
Rum makes me make funny faces.
rum makes me babble incoherently.
Rum borrowed my lawnmower and never gave it back.
rum generally makes me wish i had vodka instead.
(unless it is for the aforementioned mojito)
ECH alluded to it, but:
Scotch.
Scotch.
I bottle of single malt scotch.
Ice (optional)
Glass of some description.
Does "the bottle" count as a glass?
I'm pretty sure it does...
not too much ice! just a hint of frozen water is excellent in scotch but try not to dilute it too much.
Regret,
has no clue where he got that bit of wisdom because he has no recollection of ever liking scotch....(and im sure its personal experience i can still remember the taste difference.)
Bloody Mary
Tomato Juice (or V8, depending on your preference)
ice
Vodka
Lemon juice
Pickle juice (just take a old jar of pickles and pour a bit of the liquid out)
Worcestershire sauce
Tobasco sauce
Salt and pepper (I usually avoid the salt around the rim)
Mix with celery stalk, add pickles and olives for garnish
Best drink ever.
THAT sounds yum, Kai!

Do never forget the vodka. Bloody Mary- vodka=blech!
actually, i love drinking tomato juice with a dash of worcestershire sauce, tobasco and a few drops of limejuice. i usually leave out the rest of the stuff though, but that's mostly laziness.
one thing that's very important about a bloody mary is the amount of vodka you put in it. too much vodka and you can really spoil it, IMO.

This is very true. It's a flavorful drink, not one to be slammed to get 'drunk'. Though it tends to happen after 3 or 4 anyway.
Mmmm I love a good Bloody Mary! I never had one until Boots took me out for brunch one morning a few months ago.
I like BMW's recipe b/c of the pickle juice--never thought of doing that before, but damn, that's gotta happen soon! With pepper AND lemon-flavored vodka! :D
Tucker Death Mix
1 pint of Everclear (more like Devilclear, amirite?)
1 thing of gatorade (dont know the fucking measurement.)
1 can of red bull.
http://www.tuckermax.com/archives/entries/date/tucker_goes_to_hockey_game_causes_trouble.phtml#279
read that story, and you will understand the glory of this drink.
That was pretty awesome. :lulz: Reminds me of my first round(s) of vodka-red bull...I was convinced everyone must know about Jesus's clitoris. Embarassed the shit out of my brothers who had invited me, along with all their friends, to see one of their gigs.
Ah me. Those were the days.
Whiskey sour. Very tasty. Crown Royal and Squirt. Mix to taste. (PROTIP: make these very strong.)
Ooh yes, I like whiskey sours.

Just drop the thing inna freezer for a half hour. Chilled bottles are as good or better than iced drinks.
I made a drink that tasted like an alcholic orangina last night:
ice
juice of 3 small oranges (sweeter, the better)
rum
triple sec
splash of squirt (grapefruit soda)
Twas yum. We had oranges going bad, so I made one of these with rum, and one with vodka for the mate.
For apeshit drunkenness on little to no money:
Highball glass
6cl Brandy
Fill with cava
For apeshit drunkenness with style:
3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth
2 1/2 oz Blended Bourbon
dash Angostura bitters
2 or 3 Ice cubes
1 Maraschino cherry
After discovering evan williams I've taken to love it in a manhattan. Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass, stir gently and pour over a proper glass with a cherry in the bottom.
Oh, this reminds me of a few drinking games I have been involved with. How about something like this:
M.K's Black Magic: A small amount of beer of choise + aromatic salt (dunno if this is the right word for it, I don't speak english daily.)
Quaranteed vomiting.
I vaguely remember drinking something that had in it some long drink (wikipedia it), beer, two kinds of red wine, an alcohol drink called Diesel (I googled it, you only get this kind in Finland), some booze, some salmiakki-flavored Koskenkorva (google it)....
I wonder if I missed something? For some reason I can't remember the drink that well. Vomited fiercely. Twice.
Bwine:
Take a can of PBR(actually it's better if you drink 3 or 4 first, so take 5 just to be safe), and some rose-colored or white boxed wine(Franzia works great). After you're already moderately drunk, drink half of a PBR, then fill the rest of it with the boxed wine.
It's actually not bad.
Of course I've only had it once already trashed, but I remember it tasting pretty good, and it was certainly good for the :lulz: factor.
- shotglass
- Fill about 2/3 - 3/4 with beer
- carefully layer everclear on top
- set on fire
- drink
Jungle Juice:
Cut off the top of a watermelon in a manner that will allow it to fit back as a cap/plug. Carve out watermelon leaving a thin layer inside. Cut up the watermelon that was taken out, along with fruit of your choice. We used granny smith apples, strawberries, pineapple, orange, honeydew & cantaloupe. Apples absorb the alcohol the best, berries not so much, but they taste really good in the drink. Put fruit into a large bowl and soak overnight in bottle (200ml) of everclear, and about 3/4 of a 750ml bottle of fruit-flavored alcohol (we used bicardi melon). Next day (or whenever you're planning to have it) pour fruit and alcohol into the watermelon shell. Add fruit punch, sprite (if you wish, may needed to be added after some of the punch has been drunk already), and any other alcohol you might want (used triple sec and apple puckers). Chill over ice. Drink up!
The punch itself didn't taste that strong, but the fruit was packed with alcohol, so it's a nice balance. Some of the apples were like taking a shot.
1.5 oz gin (GOOD gin only: Bombay Saphire IMHO)
2 -3 oz. tonic water
Slice of lime

I had a G+T last week, but it was really shitty gin. It was pretty ehhh, for obvious reasons.
But yeah, I'll have to give it a go with Bombay Sapphire next time I have the opportunity.

Don't get too excited.
It's not
really absinthe, but it tastes very similar. It has trace levels of thujone, and that is accomplished by using Southern Wormwood instead of Grande Wormwood.
The result is not
bad perse, but it's over-priced and over-hyped. The best "absinthe" I've been able to find legally in the US is called "Absente". It has a very licorice-like taste, and even though it's 110 proof I've never needed or wanted a chaser. It hovers around $40 a bottle, and some bottles even come with absinthe spoons(I've never gotten those, as I already have 2 cuillere-style spoons).
If it's been awhile since you've had the real stuff, or if you've never had it, then maybe pick up a bottle. Otherwise I'd say save your money until you go overseas and just get the real stuff.
They do sell "real" absinthe in the USA now, made with the regular wormwood. It still has to pass FDA regs. as far as thujone concentration though, so there are only a few brands that are imported thus far.
I've tried one of the brands, Kubler, which has good flavor and louches well.
As far as psychoactivity, anyone's guess, but it's a good, if expensive drink even without that. What I have noticed whenever drinking it is the very lucid, almost cynical, intoxication
Straight up it's OK. If you like ouzo or sambuca, you'll like this. It is a bit harsh.
Traditionally mixed it gets a bit sweet / watery for my own tastes.
I recommend mixing 1 shot absinthe, 1 shot clear, cold water, and a pinch of cane sugar stirred together for the best of both.

Really? I haven't been able to find anything better than the Absente I had, excluding stuff you can buy online. But with that I've gotten some excellent stuff from New Zealand, as well as a few other notable varieties from Europe.
As for the traditional preparation, I agree, too watery and even moreso too sweet. I'm not big on sweet things in general though, so that probably has something to do with it. When I feel like being fancy though, I'll still bring out the spoons and sugar cubes just for the atmosphere.
I'm trying to find the least expensive yet decent quality variety for when my girlfriend's parents come in August to meet me and my parents. They have an 'apperatif" every evening, just a social drink, and I would love to prepare some nice absinthe the traditional way for them. I'm looking to spend no more than $~60-70 for a bottle, any recommendations?
Oh, and I live in IN, which seems to bring trouble when ordering online from US vendors. Overseas folk don't care what state you're in, but there's some sort of state law or something that is inhibiting me from ordering absinthe from any US place, so it's either liquor store or high shipping costs.
Whisky should be drunk from a scotch glass, without ice, filtered through water (pour about 4 drops of water over the back of a spoon onto the top of it)
Same for Whiskey. I like Oban for Whisky and Tullamore Dew for Whiskey.
Limoncello
(Italian lemon-flavored liqueur)
Yield: About 2 liters
INGREDIENTS:
15 Lemons
2 750ml bottles of Vodka, 100 proof
4 cups Sugar
5 cups Water
METHOD
Basic Steps: Infuse → Boil → Infuse
Scrub the lemons with soap and a vegetable brush to remove any wax or pesticides. Remove the zest (outer peel) from the lemons using a vegetable peeler. Take care not to include any of the bitter white pith.
Place the lemon zest in a large (around 1 gallon) bottle or jar. Pour the first bottle of vodka over the zest, seal tightly, and set in a cool, dark place to steep for 40 days, shaking occasionally.
Mix the sugar and water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Let boil until the syrup starts to thicken, 5-10 minutes. Let cool completely. Add to the lemon zest mixture, along with the second bottle of vodka. Mix well and let set for 40 days.
Strain (cheesecloth), pour into bottles, and chill. Store in the freezer.
It's sweet. Good dessert drink.
Apple Pie
INGREDIENTS
* 1 gallon apple juice
* 1 gallon apple cider
* 2 cups white sugar
* 8 cinnamon sticks
* 1 (750 milliliter) bottle 190 proof grain alcohol (everclear)
* 1 Tbsp Nutmeg
* 1 Tbsp Allspice
* 16 whole cloves
* 1 cup honey
DIRECTIONS
1. Pour the apple juice into the pot, keep the jug.
2. Put the pot on the stove, turn the heat on medium.
3. When the pot is warm, add the spices.
4. Stir in the honey & sugar (you have to stir, or it will sit on the bottom).
5. Cover the pot, and crank the heat up to high.
6. When the pot reaches a roiling boil, turn off the heat.
7. Let the pot cool until it is warm enough to touch.
8. Add alcohol (everclear).
9. You now have Pie, but it's got a lot of spices in it.
Filter the pie. Use a big funnel stuffed with cheese cloth. It may get clogged from all the sediment, so watch for that.
Your Pie is best cold. If you plan on drinking it soon, stick it in the fridge. You could also put your Pie in storage, as it will keep for a long time.
Pie is a Ren Faire drink.

Also, people usually eat salmiakki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmiakki
yeah i know, i'm Dutch, we eat it as well :) i love the stuff, called "drop" here.
i was referring to the drunken finnish dudes at the european demoparties i've been to, drinking salmiakki mixed with vodka (or perhaps koskenkorva, i dunno)
I don't remember if I've posted this yet, but:
Hammosas:
1 part Hamms
1 part orange juice
Better than it sounds!
Also, Sunny Hammosas:
1 part Hamms
1 part Sunny Delight

Heh, we used to do this at the powerpad, but we used Schlitz... not PBR. Anyway, I can attest to this thing not being bad.
I'll share some of my favorite drinking recipes:
Moscow Mule
1 part Vodka, 2 parts Ginger Beer, served on ice in a
copper mug.
(there is a place in town that does these the right way, and its bad-ass)
Singapore Sling (great for Hunter S Thompson Day) (this recipe is lifted from the Raffles Hotel, although I've seen about two million variations on this)
30ml Gin
15 ml Cherry Brandy
120 ml Pineapple Juice
15 ml Lime Juice
7.5 ml Cointreau
7.5 ml Dom Benedictine
10 ml Grenadine
A Dash of Angostura Bitters
Garnish with a slice of Pineapple and Cherry
Personally, I usually use 1.5 oz B&B, 1.5 oz Hendricks Gin, .05 oz of sour, dash of grenadine, fill with pinapple, with a lemon.
Kind of fruity, yes, but it does help kill the taste of the Mescal.
Somebody posted a Bloody Mary recipe earlier, here's how I like them:
2.0 oz Vodka (if you use a decent vodka, you can be a little heavy handed, I usually get smashed on these when I drink them.)
8 oz Tomato juice
pinch of black pepper
pinch of celery salt
dash Worcestershire
3 dashes of CHOLULA
sometimes I use citron vodka for kicks.
One of my old co-workers came up with this variation on a typical girl drink, he calls it the Don Johnson
Don Johnson
3 oz Citron Vodka, 1 can of Redbull, Splash of Cranberry, served on ice in a pint glass with a cherry garnish and an umbrella.
In truth though, 90% of the time I just drink beer, and/or straight liquor. In fact I've severely cut back on my drinking all together.
Here's another recipe attributed to a former coworker, this one is a motherfucker.
The Misanthropic Spirit of the Forest
1.0z Jim Beam (for the misanthropy)
1.0z Christian Brothers (for the spirit)
1.0z Bombay Saphire (for the forest)
Chill, Strain, and Slam.
Oh, as a special note, not just for this drink... but for all drinks that involve chilling (esp martinis), and I cannot stress this enough, do not overchill (4-5 shakes is generally good) and by all means DO NOT leave the shaker sitting around while you go do something else. If you chill, you have to chill and then strain immediately. I'm sure all of us here are smart enough to understand this, but I've really had to drill this into some peoples heads.
Frankly, I'm surprised and disappointed at the number of bartenders I worked with at my former job, who couldnt make a fucking martini to save their lives. Honestly, I'm glad to be gone, but I'd kind of like to find a new bartending gig.

HA! :D
Grandmarnier isn't necessary, but it gives it a nice smooth citrusy flavor and adds more alcohol potency. :D
Oh, I love grand marnier. In fact, I'm mourning the fact we have none...nor much other yummy liqueurs.

90% lab grade ethanol + something to mix it with so you don't vomit from the flavor ==

No, I have not tried this. But I know people who have.
Oh my god, did they seem stupider afterwards?
Why not just drink Everclear? 95% alcohol, the aromatic scent of rubbing alcohol and it, too, comes with a warning on the label not to drink straight.
