I need to whip up a tasty alcoholic beverage for about 30-50 people. It has to be cheap and easy, like Everclear + Kool-Aid or something. I don’t want “Blend mangoes and lychee for 3 hours on a low setting, pray to Teotihuacan and rock back and forth.”, I want “Go to Walmart and the liquor store, dump this shit in a big ass cooler and you’re ready to rock!”
Absolut vodka. Store in freezer; when ready mix with Red Pop (generic two-liters work just fine in this recipe).
An alternative is cranberry juice, but I prefer the Red Pop.
Or, shots of vodka done tequila-shooter style with a lemon wedge, but with powdered sugar instead of salt on your hand. Lemon Drops. Quick, painless, and effective, and also a fun group activity.
Some of these people with their brand name vodkas (Absolut?) and their classy named drinks (Harvey Wallbangers?) are going a little too highbrow I think. I submit BooJuice.
Take handles of vodka (the cheaper the better… Heaven Hill, Arrowhead, etc). Pour into a giant (clean is optional) cooler. Add beer. I’d say… mmm… just pour in a few pitchers of beer, but keep in mind that the more beer you add, the more you’re diluting the vodka. Now add concentrated lemonade. Oh, sorry, with the beer, try and get the cheapest, but strongest, available. Keystone Ice is pretty good for this purpose. Mix.
Now you’ve got a party.
When my dad was in college, “PJ” stood for “Purple Jesus.” The main ingredient was Everclear; this and basically whatever else was available would be mixed together in a large container.
1 part vodka
1 part rum
1 part gin
1 part Grand Marnier (or Triple Sec)
ice cubes
thinly sliced green apple
lime bar mix (or green koolaid, or some green juice mix)
7 Up (or ginger ale)
The bar where I work makes it in a beer pitcher using 3 shots each of the alcohols, then adding the ice, then the apple slices, then the green mix and topping it off with the pop.
If you’re using kool aid or generic mix you may need to add sugar to taste.
I can’t understand how people can stand to drink it, but they do. Every night.
