While I refuse to believe this hasn’t been covered before, when I did a (very) quick look through the past twenty days of topics I didn’t see one for the best drink in the world. And since I can’t believe every single person wouldn’t have an opinion on this… What is the best drink or shot you have ever had? Mine’s called an Irish Car Bomb. It’s a glass of Guiness with a shot of Irish Creme and (I think) some Jameson’s Irish Liquer. You drop the shot into the Guiness and pound the whole thing. It tastes a lot like chocolate. ---

Noone’s going to believe I really like this, but (and it’s the holiday season now, almost) voila: the snowflake. half peppermint schnapps, half gin, over crushed ice. It tastes like December. As a joke; The Brentwood. tomato juice, vodka, and orange juice (get it-- OJ and Bloody Mary…) garnish with a Barbie head… ---

I’m pretty boring. Maker’s Mark on the rocks, if no one has it, Jack Daniels. The most ungodly drink I have ever seen though, happens to be a couple of friends’ favorite drink. I don’t know what it’s called, but you make it in a huge container, mixing lemonade, beer and vodka. I have only seen men enjoy this drink, I tasted it, it tastes like regurgitated lemonade. ---

[list][li]Mine’s a Piledriver, a drink we invented in college:[/li] 2 parts OJ 1 part Malibu (r) Coconut Rum 1 part Vodka (cheap stuff is OK, since Malibu is premium) It basically doesn’t taste alcoholic, so it goes down smooth. It’ll knock you on your ass if you’re not careful. [li]For a drink with a show: a Dr. Pepper[/li] 1 shot of spiced rum (can’t remember the brand) 1 mug of beer 1 lighter 🙂 Light the shot of rum. (!) Depth-charge it (drop it) into the beer. Chug the combo. The name comes from the taste; it really does taste like Dr. Pepper. Just don’t do too many. We did a bunch of these at a bar in West Virginia. After so much booze had sloshed onto the table, I accidentally lit the table on fire trying to light my shot. (It was just an alcohol fire, so we put it out easily.) ---

Scotch whiskey, single malt, neat. Though I am also partial to either German pilsner or Irish lager on a hot day. * * * - The best lack all conviction The worst are full of passionate intensity. \* ---

Tequila shots or anything with tequila in it. For a great after dinner drink, or to wind down the end of a long evening, coffee, Kahlua, and Bailey’s is great (no whipped cream, thank you). ---
