The Drink Recipe Thread!

Diet hard lemonade:
Pitcher
2 liters of soda water/club soda (which is typically 0 calories, I've found)
two packets of crystal lite lemonade powder (well, two if you have the pitcher-sized packs, or four if you're using the 'per bottle' individual packs)
shit ton of vodka

Add all until pitcher is full, mix thoroughly. Consume. Fall over.

The only calories are from the vodka, and it tends to be a lot stronger than it tastes (assuming you're adding the proper amount of said vodka)

Is that a Shit Ton or a Metric Shit Tonne?

Is that a Shit Ton or a Metric Shit Tonne?

Whichever is more.

I'm told that this is a Shirley Temple, but since I'm completely ignorant of Bar Culture (or whatever), then here goes:

Glass of Cherry 7*Up
(OR Glass of lemon-lime soda plus a couple drops of baking-grade cherry extract)
Dash of chocolate syrup

This is not a Shirley Temple. A Shirley Temple is gingerale with a dash of grenadine. Sometimes you also add a splash of orange juice. Traditionally garnished with a marachino cherry. This drink was allegedly invented for Shirley Temple to drink at adult parties, since she was too young for an alcoholic cocktail.

Also, I don't know if you guys have it in the States but a restaurant chain up here called Swiss Chalet makes the best Shirley Temple ever.

[Arc Orion]

No such luck. Luckily for me, it looks like they have one just off the border in Abbotsford, BC.

[sneaky ninja]

You know, it's weird about Swiss Chalet...I really don't know anyone who ever goes there, but I hear that Easterners love it. Most people out here seem to prefer White Spot.

[Rorschach]

Slightly off-topic but it's only half-eight here so my morning horn is still lingering:

The best thing to taste on a girl's lips is Morgan's and Coke. The worst is probably whiskey. Well obviously the postman is the absolute worst, but in alcohol terms.

I didn't invent this one, but I've heard it can be rather nice in the winter.

Russian Christmas
Mug of prepared hot chocolate
Some Creme de Menthe (how much is some is completely up to you)

I don't exactly agree with the chosen name since there's no vodka. If someone tries it with Vodka let me know, I'll be enjoying my nice minty hot chocolate.

If I can remember, I will get the ingredients for my favorite flavored martini tonight. They call it the "flirtini" and it is yummy. I actually got a big burly man drinking beer to try it last time and his eyes lit up and he ordered one. There is no such thing as foo-foo drinks!

[Frosting]

In a tall shot glass (I think this is called a pony?)

A pony is a 1oz shot glass. A 'shot' is 1.5 oz. A lot of the shot glasses are pony shot glasses. As far as I know there isn't a term for the tall shot glass, other than being called a double.

[StruckingFuggle]

A pony is a 1oz shot glass. A 'shot' is 1.5 oz.

The 1.5oz is also known as a "jigger."

People Eater (I don't know why it's called this):
1 can 7up
1 shot raspberry rum
Grenadine to taste

The rest are my drinks:

Rusty Grandma:
Equal parts grand marnier and drambuie

Rootrum:
1 can or bottle root beer of choice
Spiced rum to preference (spiced rums with a bit of a vanilla are better, but any'll do)


Oh What The Fuck It Tastes Like Burning This Is Good But I'm Going To Die, aka "It Tastes Like Burning", aka "Wheee Endorphins!":
Take a shotglass. Put in a couple shakes (I think I used a teaspoon? Maybe two) of tabasco sauce. Top the shot glass off with 151. Shoot it.

There is no such thing as foo-foo drinks!

Oh yes there are. Champagne-based cocktails are foo-foo drinks, such as the Mimosa.

[tnitnetny]

Nah, I still don't consider Mimosa's foo foo drinks. They are breakfast drinks.

Got the ingredients for the flirtini:
x-rated fusion liquor
contreau orange liquor
splash of lime juice
couple of splashes of cranberry juice

[Mav]

Woman has a point. It's hard to be foo foo when you're drunk by 11 AM.

[thejerseyminx]

Nah, I still don't consider Mimosa's foo foo drinks. They are breakfast drinks.

I want, like, ten please.

[The Cid]

Nah, I still don't consider Mimosa's foo foo drinks. They are breakfast drinks.

My original post included a Bloody Mary recipe, so I'll go with that as my breakfast drink. Much more respectable for a man to drink IMO.

By the way, a Mimosa is the rich man's Brass Monkey and nothing more. And yes, that makes the Brass Monkey an acceptable breakfast drink. (For the uninformed, a Brass Monkey is a small amount of orange juice and a heavy amount of malt liquor. Ah, the things one learns in college!)

The Chupacabra
Because they're all over Mexico. (Co-credit to a friend from college, although the drink has since been renamed)

Fill a whiskey glass about 1/3 full of Pepsi
Add ginger ale until the glass is half full.
Add two shots of tequila
Garnish if lime. If you want to.
Repeat until you can't see straight.

You might not figure Pepsi and Ginger Ale would mix, but they do when Tequila comes to the party.
