Too complicated. Alcohol and...alcohol mix just well.

Bah, Alcohol tastes like the bitter part of a pecan. I don't see the rationale behind drinking it.

Purple Motherfucker

For those that do not want Webtender on their histories:

* 1/2 oz Blue Curacao
* 1/2 oz Southern Comfort
* 1/2 oz Amaretto
* 1 part Cranberry juice

Cement Mixer

* Bailey's Irish Creme
* Lime juice

I am not certain of the proper mix. Stir in shot glass until nice and curdled. Actually looks like curdled milk. Then drink. Careful on the actual mix. I had one once that was so thick, I could turn the shot glass upside down, and it did not come out. :p



There are a couple that I like..... We had a regular bartender that made them up for me and others. I have no idea of the exact "recipie," but here it goes.

The Green Shot <- Best name we could think of.

Story: I told the bartender to make something that would hurt me.

Result: He mixed all of the fruit liquers in a tumbler. It came out green. It glowed under the black light. It hurt.

The Green Drink <- Again, the best name we could come up with.

Story: He wanted something that could sell to other customers.

Result: The Green Shot + 2 parts Pineapple Juice. <--- Damn tasty drink! :D

There are of course the staples:

Mind Eraser

Red Devil

And of course:

The Hairy Buffalo

Have the bartender dump out the mats into your shot glass. <--- Takes a brave person. ;)

I enjoy Captain Morgan and ginger ale, Tanqeray and tonic, Bloody Marys, Southern Comfort on the rocks, and of course straight Tequila. I don't enjoy cheap liquor and I'm not much of a fan of whiskey. I generally avoid sweet drinks but the occasional Black Russian is ok. As someone mentioned, it's vodka and kahlua. Everything else is self explanatory.

There are tons of mixed drinks I like, my fav ones having tequila in em!!!
Margaritas have to be by far the best drink!

Bottle of Jose Quervo Margarita mix
quarter bottle (of a 750ml bottle) Jose Quervo gold tequila
2 1/2 - 3 shots worth of Galliano... Still tastes like a margarita but takes away from the tequila bite at the end with a diff flavor no one iwl be able to point out.

Serve chilled, over ice, or blended, with salt around the rim of the glass if preferred.

Cadillac Margarita. My father-in-law got me hooked on these. He makes them like this:

- Put margarita salt on rim of glass

- Fill halfway with ice

- Shot of Cuervo Gold

- Shot of Grand Marnier

- Fill up the rest of the glass with margarita mix and stir.

:D
 

3-5oz of bombay sapphire gin, on ice with a slice of lime.

Mabey some tonic water if I'm feeling like it.

Light the shot glass, drop it in the beer, then chug the whole thing. Best way is to sort of slide the shot glass in rather than just drop it.
my friend accidentally spilled hers once--started a small fire at the bar & on her date.
i can't believe she didn't get kicked out.

I'm simple: I prefer either rum/tonic or gin/tonic with a twist of lime. (Mount Gay and Tanqueray respectively :D )

A group of friends from work and I would always get together Thursday nights and just got trashed. As the night progressed, flaming dr. peppers got more and more dangerous. :D
