Desperate times call for desperate measures

So, what’s the weirdest cocktail you’ve thrown together? I’m not saying this is anywhere near number one, I’m just pointing out that right now I’m mixing Mount Gay Premium White Rum with Diet Pepsi Jazz Black Cherry/French Vanilla and the original version of The Wicker Man.

It’s pretty good. You know, in a bad way.

I didn't make this, but the Hot Corn Drink that some "friends" concocted for a cast party was the worst thing I ever put in my mouth, ever. Here's the whole story.


Classic! I want some Hot Corn Drink right now! No I don't! Yes I do! No I don't!


What I wouldn't give to kick back in your basement drinking some Mount Gay Premium White Rum with Diet Pepsi Jazz Black Cherry/French Vanilla and watching Colleen Shannon Public Access videos.

That would be living.


"When I get my period, I go to Hardware Hank ..."


i drank a lot of southern comfort mixed with dr. pepper before i realized that drinking didn't have to be gross.


When I was 21 and got dumped by a gal: two shots of warm, cheap tequila and two shots of rumpelmintz after about 8 beers. Vomit city.


Back in high school, I used to mix Wild Turkey and Crystal Light pink lemonade before Friday night football games. My dad would do side jobs welding for people and one guy would always pay him in Wild Turkey. For years I thought alcohol was a form of currency.


hmmm, the only thing I can come up with is the idea to make jello with vodka, and the decision that putting it balloons would be cool because it'd turn out all spherical right? Wellll, obviously (in hindsight) alcohol and rubber balloons are a nasty nasty combination. The worst thing is, as a college student without much money we where quite loath to trow them out. *shudder*


I think my all-time worst concoctions are:

Mr. Malibeer
(Malibu + Beer)

Frozen Raul
(Peppermint Schnapps + Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream)

Shudder.


When I was in college the first time, a friend of mine and I were the last two left awake at a party. We had been drinking Malibu and orange juice all night. Well the orange juice started to run out, so my friend decided to improvise. He came out of the kitchen with a couple of glasses of brown murky liquid. He said, and I quote, 'Don't look at it. Just drink it.' In my inebriated state, I did. It turns out it was Malibu, orange juice and Diet Pepsi. Absolutely awful. I couldn't get rid of the taste in my mouth for a week. To this day I can't even stand the smell of Malibu.


Another one we came up with in college, this may explain why I eventually dropped out, was a mix of root beer, blackberry brandy and vodka. We called it a Mahogany because it smelled like mahogany wood. It actually didn't taste too bad. Of course, I may have been too drunk to know any better.


About a week ago I made some awesome margaritas (tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice). Then I ran out of limes so I improvised (tequila, triple sec, Grape Fierce Gatorade).

The Wicker Man is awesome. Now I want to watch The Equalizer.


This is why I brew beer, so I don't have to worry about trying to concoct some sort of weird drink =)


After day three of being trapped in the wreckage, and with no prospects for being rescued, I started mixing my urine with whatever dirty rain water managed to collect. It helped that I had bit off half of my tounge during the impact so I couldn't taste the stuff very well. That, and the feverish delerium.


Tab + Almaden brandy + Silver Wolf vodka.

When I was in 8th and 9th grade my grandparents always used to go to their cabin in the summers for four or five days in a row and would leave me the key to take in the mail.

Of course, I'd invite a bunch of friends over and raid their horrible liquor cabinet.

I even used to charge one of my friends money for a glass. He'd always raid his change jar (I'd ususally net about $4 in quarters, dimes and nickels) just to get two or three glasses of this absolutely horrible concoction.

This was, of course, until we coerced a buddy's older brother into buying us a party ball, which we put in the grandparent's sauna.

I explained the puke stain on the baby blue carpeting by telling grandma that I'd spilled a Coke when I came over to bring in the mail.

I'm pretty sure she didn't buy it.


I guess its 'tongue' not 'tounge'. What the fuck do I care, I can't even make the 'tuh' sound anymore anyway. You know, with half a tongue and all.


pretty handy for scraping peanut butter off the roof of my mouth, though. Hey how was your trip?


This is the trip the best part I really like.


Broad beans, in their natural state, aren't usually turquoise, are they?


Of the many, many, many combinations of alcohol I have consumed throughout the years, especially during my Madeline Island days, I would have to say the weirdest cocktails were:

-Dr Pepper, Jagermeister and whipped cream

-Nestle Quik and cranberry vodka

Now some friends of mine, when they would get quite inebriated, would play a game with dice that involved three or more people rolling a certain number - calling the shot, the next number - buying the shot and the next number drinking the shot.

I remember some very very odd combinations of alcohol and other stuffs (both food and non-food) being thrown into glasses. I think one included dried meat product. Yep.

those were the days.



One Sunday morning, we were enjoying daquiris, fancy coffee etc. But then we ran out of fruit. We tried to invent a blended daquiri drink using broccoli.

Um. don't do that.

We also tried mint juleps using mint extract instead of mint leaves. But the oily minty stuff just floated on the top, and kindof stung our upper lips as we sipped.


a friend of mine had a gramma that drank "moo-goo's". gin & ensure. i shit you not.

back in my vodka from the jug with the handle days, i'd mix it with kool-aid and drink it out of a plastic kiddie-cup for good measure.


Never, under any circumstances, should you mix Alka Seltzer and sloppy joe mix with anything that you plan on drinking. It's the foaming that really gets you...Oh God, THE FOAMING! It wasn't an alcoholic drink but I could sure go for one now just thinking about it.


Obviously, we've all forgotten about "SoHo Pepto" that HotRod used to drink (Southern Comfort and Pepto-Bismul).

Tab and Cabana Boy Coconut Rum at kickball last year was weird and something your sister would drink, but not particularly bad.


once i made root beer floats with 100 proof root beer schnapps. it really seemed like a good idea at the time.


In my early drinking days in college did silver wolf and dark cherry kool-aid. Tasted pretty much like generic cough syrup but without the decongestant properties.

I'm suprised no one has mentioned cement mixers yet...


HotRod and I were faced with a dilemma. How could we stop our heartburn and get drunk at the same time? Easy, the SoCo-Bismol, equal parts Southern Comfort & Pepto Bismol. To my recollection, it tasted like bubble gum, and yes, it took care of both.


Back when I was 18, a friend and I mixed Everclear and Elf Pop. Grape was the best choice, Root Beer the worst. Looking back on it now we were probably lucky that our first experience in drinking to excess wasn't our last. Grain Alcohol probably wasn't the best choice for a couple of inexperienced drinkers.

Now I guess it's a little off that I like a little shot of Clamato Juice in my beer. But that's a choice made for taste rather than necessity.


What is Ensure?


i used to concoct a mix i called "bongwater," which was actually Jag and Dr. Pepper with a hit of Chambord or creme de menthe.

uh huh.

I was also well known for buying new inductees into the 21 club shots of Jag with Guinness chasers. I was a lot meaner then.


Totally forgot that way, way, way back when, my friends and I used to play a wicked game called "Artesian Well." The whole idea was to get a pitcher, fill it with beer and float a shot glass half full with whiskey in the pitcher full of beer. The game was to pass the bottle around and add drops of whiskey to the shot glass. If the shot glass didn't sink, you just kept passing the bottle to the next person. If you added whiskey and the shot glass sank, you lost and had to drink the whole damn pitcher as fast as possible. I still get a chill when I think about it. Not really a mixed drink. Just plain stupid, actually. Jesus. I'm surprised I'm still alive. I'm surprised I still even remember.


when I was 14 or 15 my friend Cheryl and I used to sneak liquor whenever we could. One night it was warm Red, White and Blue Beer-it was so nasty but we were determined to drink it so we added rootbeer. and then icecream. Rootbeer beer floats. We also stole some scotch from her dad's liquor cabinet but we didn't know what to put it in so we rinsed out a bottle of Prell Shampoo. But you never can really get all the soap out so we were basically drinking Prell and Scotch. Ahhh, youth.

Just goes to show ya, if you talk about alcohol, most everyone has a story.
Wow, I'm impressed with all the posts.
My story is pretty lame, gin and orange pop.


I forgot about a hideous concoction I saw someone else drink one night. This kid was pretty piggy drunk already when he started drinking Sloe Gin and Bud Dry all mixed together in a Subway cup. Shortly after that he pissed in my fridge.


Don't let Gramma drink Moo-Goo anymore!


Sloe and Dry? Sounds like my ex-wife!
