No, you don’t get to take advantage of me. I’ve got a four day weekend starting Thursday, and I’m heading down to Carbondale to visit my old roommate and some other friends. Now, normally I’m a stickler for Rolling Rock, but I was thinking I might try something else this weekend. Recipes for mixed drinks (which don’t include gin or Southern Comfort, thanks) or shots are welcome. And although I’m sure I will be aflame at some point this weekend (Statue of Liberty shots are not fictional; see the “Guy Stuff” thread), I’m not particularly interested in drinking stuff that could peel paint off the walls.

in corners is that, just occasionally,
one of them’s a mongoose.

One of my recommendations for a lot of booze in a tasty vehicle.
Long Beach:
In a pint glass over ice mix
1 part Bacardi Rum
1 part Silver Tequila
1 part Tanqueray Gin
1 part Absolut (Citron and Mandarin make nice twists)
1 part Gran Marnier (Triple Sec will do)
Orange juice
Cranberry juice
Squeeze in some fresh orange and garnish with a twist.
Lemon Drop shots always get me started:
Absolut Citron
Sugar
Lemon slice
Pour sugar on the lemon, lick it off, do the shot, suck down the lemon.
Lunch box shot:
Rocks glass filled half with beer, half with OJ
Shot glass filled 1/2 with amaretto 1/2 with SoCo.
Drop the shot glass into the rocks glass, and begin chugging.
Flaming Dr. Pepper:
Rocks glass filled w/ beer.
Shot glass filled 1/2 amaretto 1/2 with 151.
Light the 151 and drop into the beer, then chug.
Super Duper Rootbeer:
Captain Morgans
Rootbeer Schnapps
Rum 151
Coke
(Or just a Super Rootbeer without the 151)
OK, do you take the first three digits, and mix the liquors corresponding to the bottles and do one shot, or do you do three shots, one representing each digit?
Now we need a way to make this competitive, and a group sport. I think we have a goal for the Chicago SDMBVF.
