It's Friday! Let's Get Wasted!

bsidebella

I'm celebrating my last Friday as an unemployed person with reruns of "Daria", and tonight, with some drinks and friends and a homemade lasagna.

FI and his best friend invented this drink last week and it's now our "house drink". It's called the Double Tap, named after the signature kill in the movie Zombieland (which they were watching when they invented the drink).  

DOUBLE TAP 

(makes 1-2 servings)

1 oz peach schnapps 

1/2 oz amaretto 

1/2 oz triple sec 

1 cup OJ

1 tsp grenadine 

1 cup ice

Red food coloring

Combine all ingredients and 2 drop of red food coloring in a blender. Blend until smooth. It should have a pleasant peach color. Garnish with two drops of red food coloring to look like bullet holes, then stir once with a straw to create a swirly pattern. 

It's delicious. It's got the fruity taste from the grenadine, peach and OJ, a little bit of a kick from the triple sec and a nutty aftertaste thanks to the amaretto.

Ok your turn! Share some great drink recipes! Preferrably one that you've made up yourself! ;-)

[QUOTE]Here's the drink my BF wooed me with over two years ago. We still joke about it. It is NOT classy, but it is ridiculously delicious. Or maybe it's only ridiculously delicious if you're not classy. THE WINE COCKTAIL - Fill pint glass or equivalent at least half-way with ice - Fill pint glass or equivalent with Franzia "Refreshing White" boxed wine (I told you, classy), or other white wine - Add 1-2 slices of lemon Yup, that's it. It's the BF's special concoction, and after two you're feeling pretty damn good.

Have you tried the Archer Farms (aka Target) brand of boxed white Sangria?  I bet it would fantastic served that way.

I this thread. Ladies night tonight, and I'm totally going to let loose and drink my fair share. It has just been that kind of week.

Here's what I'm concocting tonight:

-Whipped cream vodka

-Amaretto

-Diet cream soda

It is so yummy. Tastes very similar to an ice cream float! In fact, maybe I should pick up some diet root beer too. Yummy.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: It's Friday! Let's Get Wasted! : Ooooh, no! But I love sangria and Target-brand anything, so I definitely will. I never hear the end of it when friends open our fridge to find boxed wine...until they try wine cocktails. :)

Psssh.  I've found that the people who criticize boxed wine are generally the least likely to recognize that it's low-quality if you serve them a glass without telling them.

Try diet rootbeer with chocolate vodka.  You will like.

<div>Cackle, that sounds DEELISH. I've never had whipped cream flavored vodka, what brand is it? </div><div>
</div><div>Also, you know what would be awesome on top? Some of that alcohol-laced whipped cream. They sell them in liquor stores in a few flavors. I don't know if you have a Bottle King by you (or is that a Jersey thing?) but that's where I found it. I've never had an excuse to buy it before. But I might have to, and try your drink! </div></div>

For a hot drink, may I recommend hot chocolate + chambord? Mmmmm

Or, if you're in a shot mood....peppermint patties: coat your mouth with a crap ton of chocolate syrup [tastes best when squirted straight from the Hershey's syrup bottle into your mouth ] then do a shot of peppermint schnapps. Yummm

Re: whipped cream vodka --

Try making the opposite (vodka-infused whipped cream) by combining heavy cream, sugar (however much/little you want) and the flavored vodka of your choice (I like vanilla).  Whip until stiff (that's what she said) and refrigerate any leftovers.  It's amazing with hot chocolate.

You totally have to buy the wine juice boxes from Target. We always look at them, but I don't like wine. They are adorable.

Patron, *yummmmm*

For a refreshing drink, try this -

Absolut Wild Tea (Absolut Boston is better if you can find it!)
Arizona Arnold Palmer
splash gingerale
over a lot of ice
garnish with lime wheel

You guys have all just made my day, you have no idea. It's been the crappies work day I've had in a long time, but this thread just made me super happy. Thanks ladies!

I think those who have contributed drinks need awesome names for them. Come on, am I the only one who has a drink with a name?! That's like naming nail polish or lipstick - the easiest most fun job ever!

Ahh! That's so cool. I love peach flavored anything and grenadine. Cute idea!
This new thing I've been seeing around is Skittle-infused vodka. You seperate the skittles into their seperate colors and do some chemistry experiment to make pretty colored skittle flavored vodka. It actually seems pretty simple:
