Holiday drinking

yeah, 2 posts in one day. That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh, I like it...

So, I used the webtender to make sure I wasn't fucking these up, but I thought I would share some drinking plans with you that I am making for this month.

Adios Motherfucker (A.M.F.)
Ingredients: Vodka, Rum, Tequila, Gin, Blue Curacao, Sour mix, 7-Up
Mixing instructions: Pour shot of all ingredients into a chilled glass filled with ice cubes. Top with 7-Up and stir gently. NOTE: I have had this drink without the Sour and with less 7-up. Keep in mind that this requires more of the liquor to fill the glass, so… just like a Long-Island Iced Tea with less mixer, it will knock you out quicker than the original.

Yoda (heard about this from a co-worker/bartender. can't wait to try it)
Ingredients: Blue Curacao, Sour mix, Midori melon liqueur, Sour Apple Pucker, Vodka
Mixing instructions: Mix a shot of Sour Mix and Blue Curacao. Once those are mixed into a nice green color, add a shot of Midori and then 2 shots of Pucker. Finally add a splash of Vodka, then pour over ice. NOTE: Like Yoda, this drink is green and powerful. If you want a slightly less powerful Yoda, you can leave the Vodka out. If you want a more powerful drink, obviously add more Vodka. This drink is very sour, so feel free again to leave out the Sour Mix, which will make it stronger just like the AMF, because you will need more alcohol to fill the glass.

Creamsicle
Ingredients: Vanilla Liqueur, Orange Juice, Milk
Mixing instructions: Mix 2 shots Vanilla and Milk and 4 shots O.J and pour over ice. NOTE: Stronger versions include a little Vodka (try Vanilla Vodka to save money)

White Russian:
Ingredients: Kahlua, Light Cream, Vodka
Mixing instructions: 2 shots Vodka, 1 shot Kahlua, fill glass with Cream (or Milk) NOTE: I never make this drink like this. I always use Irish Cream and Milk, and generally use another flavor like vanilla, raspberry, caramel, peppermint, or just about any type of flavored schnapps or vodka. The important parts are the Kahlua, Milk, and Vodka for a kick. Then add flavors. My current favorites are the Caramel, Irish Cream, Milk, Kahlua and the Rasberry Vodka, Kahlua, Irish Cream, Milk versions.

In case you don’t feel the need to have all these alcohols around, you can also just get rum and coke, but remember, it’s the holidays, get the Spiced Rum (AYE CAPTAIN!) And don’t forget the peppermint schnapps and hot cocoa. If you aren’t driving and have the means, spring for the Rumple Minze. It’s about $20, but around this time of year it comes with some Christmas glass or mug, it’s at least 100 proof, and it is without a doubt the best peppermint alcohol out there. It rated a 95 out of 100 on the wine site I found the picture on. You can drink it straight as opposed to the cheap shit that has to be drowned in mixer. Plus while searching for a picture, I found this:
3 Strikes, You're Out recipe
1 oz Rumple Minze® peppermint liqueur
1 oz Goldschlager® cinnamon schnapps
1 oz Jagermeister® liqueur
Pour each liquor into a seperate shot glass. Take down each shot in quick succession. There are tons of different names (3 wise men, blitzkrieg, etc.) but they all want you to drink the 3 really good expensive liquors really fast. They can’t all be wrong can they?
