A friend is having a concert at a very trendy bar. I don't mind pay the cover since she's getting a cut of it, but I'm sure as hell not going to drink many $9 drinks. Whats a good combination that I can sneak in with a water bottle? I know I'm being cheap but $10 for drinks (with tips) is A LOT and I have to spend the night at the bar, not by choice.

I'm not much of a drink maker, what's the proper ratio?

Thanks, I usually buy my alcoholic drinks pre-made ;)

25 mL plus one little bottle of tonic was what i got in england all the time.

of course... tonic tastes better there....

Wow.. I'm sure you're the first one to think of that!

I highly doubt you will be able to get in w/a water bottle in your hand.

:p

don't you mean 50ml? I used to get 50ml shots with 250ml bottles of schwepps. It wasn't in England, but 25ml is just...wrong.

1.5 oz gin to 5 oz of tonic and a few ice cubes. If you skip the ice, add more tonic. Add fresh lemon or lime juice to the mix.

I'll chug from it when I go out for a smoking break, far from the view of the bouncer, silly. I've done it before with pure vodka. Nursed one over priced drink while chugging outside.... Not that hard actually.

Getting trashed before - eh... I'm doing that - meeting friends at 10:30 before a 1:00 show... But I like to keep the party going, especially since there will be strippers after the concert ;)
