Strong Drinks

We've got the Fireball!!! thread going.

What knock your socks off drinks do/did you consume?

Back in the days, I would drink Zombies and Boston Tea Party

Zombie recipe
1 1/4 oz lemon juice
2 dashes grenadine syrup
3/4 oz orange juice
3/4 oz Heering® cherry liqueur
3/4 oz white rum
2 oz dark rum
3/4 oz 151 proof rum

Shake over ice in a shaker, and strain into a large highball glass over crushed ice.

Boston tea Party

1/2 oz gin
1/2 oz rum
1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz triple sec
1/2 oz amaretto almond liqueur
1/2 oz Tia Maria® coffee liqueur
1/2 oz Grand Marnier® orange liqueur
2 oz sweet and sour mix
5 oz Coca-Cola®

Combine all ingredients (except coca-cola) in a shaker, shake and strain over ice, or combine ingredients in a collins glass with ice and shake. Top with coke, garnish with a lemon wedge, and serve.

Now it is either red wine, an occasional beer(s) or straight Whiskeys.

I used to drink double Black Russians. When in London, I'd always have the bartender mix double-strength Hurricanes. Two of those in half an hour and then play in the Tube.

I used to love Long Island Iced Tea. When you get a bartender who really knows how to make it, it's amazing how much it actually tastes like iced tea.

Equal parts vodka, gin, rum, tequila, triple sec.
Sour mix
Coke

Or something like that.

Also used to be a big fan of Surfer On Acid, a shooter containing:

Jagermeister
Malibu Rum
Pineapple Juice

And of course, nothing beats an Irish Car Bomb or three:

Shot glass containing Bailey's Irish Creme topped with Irish whiskey (typically Jameson if I remember correctly). Drop into half a pint of Guinness and chug. If you drink it too slowly, you will regret it as it starts to curdle....which is disgusting.

Nowadays, I stick to (regular) iced tea, Coke, ginger ale, and water.

I agree with Vik on Long Islands.

I like my coffee how I like my women: Black, bitter, and preferably fair trade.

There's a place in Antigua that makes a seven-rum zombie with every strength from 70 to 151. I once carried a South African rugby player back to his hotel from there after he made the fatal error of challenging me to a last man standing drinking duel. His wife still isn't speaking to me :))

A local cocktail bar make a thing called '5 O'clock in the morning', which (as far as I can tell) is any five shots of various spirits topped up with a fruit syrup and some kind of bitters. Strange things tend to happen after a few of those...

A million great ideas...

Back in the day it was purple-passion. Grain alcohol, vodka, gin and rum - all thrown into a trash-can with grape juice, and all sorts of fruits.....

Rack-em'. I'm getting a beer.

I used to make a mean torpedo juice back at the frat house... Either Everclear or Bacardi 151 was the main ingredient.

Mine's been vodka. Soju also works, but the hangover's awful.

Does tequila count?

Money can't buy happiness; but it can get you flying, which is pretty much the same.

Yes, but anyone who drinks a car bomb after college is a total jackass.

Fair enough. I certainly haven't drank one (or any other alcohol) since college.

I have to admit that I sometimes miss alcohol. So many new specialty beers and I can't have any of them. {sigh}

I did lick a bottle cap from Shiner bock a couple years ago. {angel}

Seriously. I don't really miss the getting-drunk-and-having-a-hangover part of it. But the other day, I met a bunch of former coworkers at a local microbrewery, and that's the stuff I miss - being able to try the microbrews and such.

Again, mostly the good Scotch lately but here's an interesting idea....

Just call it a Hooters shooter.

A German liquor company called G-Spirits is promising customers that “every drop” of its line of alcoholic beverages has been poured on the naked breasts of a certified model — with her approval, of course.

The brand sells rum, whisky and vodka, necessary for making a truly dirty martini.

Want to get close to a Playmate of the Year?

The booze brand brags that its barrel-aged whisky has been thoroughly splashed on the ample bosom of Alexa Varga, Hungary’s 2012 Playboy Playmate of the Year.

For 139 euros (around $180 plus shipping), says the firm, you will find “its unbelievably versatile flavors range from roasted almonds, dried fruit, and toffee, to honey, vanilla, baked apples and cinnamon. Its finish is harmonic, well-balanced, spicy and long-lasting.”

The company claims that the stock is limited to a mere 5000 bottles and comes with a certificate, including the original signature of the model and the bottle number, which proves that “every single drop” touched the model’s flesh.

For a somewhat thriftier option, ($165) customers can purchase the rum, which lacks the flavor characteristics of having touched a Playmate.

My first Japanese Single Malt Whiskey.

Yum, new taste. Finished that 12 year bottle in one night and one afternoon.

I'd give it a high 8/10. Might try the 18 year next.
