My brother made a good drink that me and my friends like.

Sex in the shower

Light Rum  
Dark Rum  
Midori  
Pineapple juice  
Cranberry juice

Tastes pretty good to me (but then I make a screwdriver with half OJ, half Smirnoff Vodka).

Gravitation.

Country Time Pink Lemonade Mix, vodka, and a clear soda pop if you prefer less sugar, or a less potent drink. It was the only way I could drink an entire glass of cheap vodka.

Bourbon 1 oz  
Reposada Tequila 1 oz  
Irish Mist splash  
Garnish with brine-cured olive  
It’s dangerously smooth.

My friends and I really enjoy what we call a Bikini Bottom. Coconut rum and Vanilla Coke. It’s real nice and smooth.

A drink I invented, although I’m sure it already exists:

The Lemon Blossom

1 part Vodka  
1 part fresh sqeezed lemon juice  
garnish with half a kumquat.

Sour as hell and deeeelightful.

Fancy Panties:

Rum  
Iced Tea  
Splash of Diet Coke

Server over ice in a tall glass. I don’t like it with fruit (lemon or lime) although bartenders seem to insist that I should.

I bring you the Chernobyl, invented by my insane Navy ROTC suitemate in our dorm in Leningrad during the long, cold, dark fall semester of 1989:

1 part cheap Russian vodka, not the good stuff for export, but rather the stuff for domestic consumption with which you could degrease an engine

1 part nasty Soviet Tang equivalent, the name of which is escaping me at the moment

1 part blue curaçao

No ice, under any circumstances

It turned a disgusting, sickly radioactive orange-green color. You couldn’t pay me enough to try that concoction.

Dewdriver: Mt Dew and Vodka. Actually tastes quite good, the vodka moderates the sweetness of the Dew.

How about straight up Chocolate Milk and St. Brendan’s? My friends dubbed this the Milkshake.

When I worked for the Oregon Legislature, we tried mixing a shot of Midori in with a can of Mountain Dew, on the rocks. It was quite tasty, and proved to be very popular. We named the **Quorum**. Why? Because you just gotta have it.
