I know, I'm hilarious.

Working in a bar (as I do) I'm often forced to return home at stupid o'clock in the morning. This particular evening I've found my internet behaving strangely. A lot of things not working. E621 seems oddly unaffected!
You know what that means? Time to get drunk and forum post!
It's time to exchange your various drinking recipes that are delicious, surprising or straight-up crimes against nature.

I'll start us off with one of my favourites, the fancy-as-shit Bloody Mary!

in a glass mix:
2 to 4 shots of good vodka
half a lemon's worth of lemon juice
tabasco sauce, to taste (I like mine hot, so a good 5 drops does it)
two or three shakes of Worcestershire sauce
a pinch of celery salt
a pinch of ground pepper
a teaspoon of horseradish sauce (you heard me!)
then fill the remaining glass with ice and then tomato juice.

now, you want to be able to shake this, or else the horseradish will be in gross clumps. if this doesn't seem possible, just leave that out.
Garnish with a stick of celery. A delicious and arguably 'healthy' cocktail.

I'm not a bartender, sadly, I only know two mixes:

Half a pint of Guinness, one shot of Bailey's on the side. Drop the shot glass of Bailey's into the Guinness, and down the hatch before the Bailey's curdles.

Half shot of Ice 101, half shot of After Shock. My college housemates called it a "Photon Torpedo", for how it precisely matches the color of photon torpedoes from the original series of Star Trek.

Sonic Screwdriver:
1 1/2 oz curaçao (blue), 1 1/2 oz vodka, 6 oz lemon-lime soda.

Sonic Screwdriver (11th Doctor edition):
1 1/2 oz curaçao (blue), 1 1/2 oz vodka, 6 oz orange juice.

Bad Idea:
Into a wine glass, pour 1 small jigger of absinthe, 1 large jigger of ginger liqueur, a few dashes of Douglas Fir Eau de Vie (if you can afford it), and fill the rest of the way with gin. Pour into a shaker and shake with ice, then strain it back into the wine glass. In the words of the person I got this from, "it is like drinking a forest made out of alcohol that hates you."

I made the only drink I know, a gin and tonic. Only I shook the thing too long on the flash and it exploded like a grenade

I start bartending at the end of the month, so the timing of this thread is nigh perfect!

The only mix I know is what I've heard called as a Violet Missus:
Cranberry Juice
Blue Curaçao
Vodka to taste

The end product is supposed to be a lovely light lavender liquid. More for looks than for taste IMHO.

When I get the chance, I'd like to mix some creme de menth with some root beer and see how that turns out. Add some vanilla I e cream and make it a minty root beer float or some such thing.

Poison Arrow (The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion shot)

Ingredients:
1 part Lime Cordial
1 dash Grenadine
1 part Bailey’s Irish Creme

Directions: Fill up a shot glass with lime cordial and add a dash of Grenadine to the top.
Now very slowly pour Baileys into the center of the shot glass until the liqueur hits the bottom of the shot.
Take a straw and slowly twirl it round so the Baileys twists around the tube. Retract the straw and serve.

Warning: I have not tried this drink, however, the Lime Cordial will curdle the Baileys (that is how you get the really cool visual effect).
This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just make sure you take down the shot quick and don’t hold it in your mouth.

Why would one want to mix it? Just drink rum or whiskey straight. It's how it was meant to be drunk, man, it's how it was meant!

But really I haven't tried any of these but I probably will. I don't recognize a good 90% of these since I've always been a purity-focused soul with my drinkan'.

The tequila stuntman is the only valid "mixed drink" because it makes the drink harder to consume.

You had a lot of free time in college didn't you? Which leads me to ask where did you learn of such a concoction?

Fuck bike, eat girl, sell pizza.

Thread revive! (because nothing says 'good morning' like a face full of gin!)

Less of a cocktail and more an ill-advised social experiment, a certain bar in vegas as become notable for it's house special; Ass Juice.
Basically, before the bartender calls it a night/morning, he'll whip up a batch of whatever-the-fuck he thinks is funny, telling no one what's gone into it. The bartender taking over then sells it.

Found out about this one from a book called The Upgrade by Paul Carr. It's like a modern British Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, except with booze instead of drugs. Awesome read if you like it gonzo style.

Some way or another I found that 2/3 double shot glass full of bailys and the remaining 1/3 topped with southern comfort 100 proof tastes delicious and is uber potent! Dubbed the pissy irishman.

If, like myself, you're a fan of absinthe, you might try Death in the Afternoon.
Simply, pour "two jiggers" (I dunno... slightly less than a shot?) of absinthe into a champagne glass, then top up with ice cold champagne. Traditionally, you drink three to five of these slowly in an evening.

Named after the most likely result the following day.

Try about two shots.

Edit: for the sake of clarification, a jigger has two, differently-sized truncated cones attached to each other (see this image. Usually, one side is the size of a standard shot, and the other is some factor or multiple of a standard shot. The one I've got is 1.5 oz (a standard shot around these parts) and 0.5 oz.

I think that cocktail's on our drinks list at my workplace.

Sorry, i don't drink.*sunglasses*

Thanks for sharing?

Here is a nice potent cocktail I came up with a few years ago by sniffing and tasting a few drops of random types of alchohol. It's good but not for pansies lol :P

Mean Jelly Bean.

1.oz Melon Liqour.
1.oz Blue Curacao.
1.oz Creme De Noyaux.
1.oz Blueberry Schnapps.
1.oz Grenadine Syrup.
1/2.oz Smirnoff Vodka "plain".
1/2.oz Bacardi Original Rum.
1.oz Lemon Juice.
1/2.oz Sweetened Lime Juice.

Add all ingredients to a shaker half filled with ice, Shake well and pour into a on the rocks glass with 4 ice cubes. Note, Drink should have a pleasant tart&sweet flavor and have a dark purple color. Not bad for my first try at making a cocktail

I do some pretty swell cuba libres.... there's not much to do wrong about it, though....

A friend of mine once mixed something totally weird:
20 cl banana juice
5 cl pitú
5 cl lemon juice
Vanilla/Vannilin powder
Some Ice cubes, stir, some more powder.

I actually can't remember, it's a while ago, I did remembber the convenient constellation of 20-5-5 .... tasted weird, but not displaced. Then again, I don't have a clue about cocktails anyway....

Ingredients: Whiskey, any kind

Instructions: Accidentally the whole bottle. Yes, the whole thing.

You are now drunk!

That's not making a cocktail, trevorlanch, that's a shotgun marriage to Jack Daniels.
