come now comrade, surely we can create a potato vodka concoction.


The Get Yourself High - rum on rum. Malibu and Myers rum (neat), chased with a spliff.

Speaking of recipes, it always starts with "where do I begin" for me..

Where Do I Begin - a simple wine cooler. Isn't this where we all begin?

Playground for a Wedgeless Firm - emphasis on the wedgeless. First start with a rock glass full of ice. 1 part Vodka, 1 part seltzer, 1 part Orange Juice. Finish it with a dash of cinnamon. Stir. Enjoy!

Lemme finish up my work and I'll have some to add I'm sure.

The Salmon Dance - (this one is a little advanced)

Ingredients :
2 Shots of a domestic style liquor of your choice
1 serving size of hot sake
Swedish fish gummies.

Directions:

1. - Place 1 Swedish fish into 1 shot domestic style liquor. Take shot but do not consume Swedish fish.

2. - Transport Swedish fish from now empty shot glass to hot sake. Consume hot sake but do not eat Swedish fish.

3. - Again, transport Swedish fish from empty sake cup to 2nd shot of domestic style liquor. Take 2nd shot and eat Swedish fish. (If fish has dissolved before the end of it's journey, repeat step 1,2, and 3. Drink faster!)

The concoctions here in this thread though...  that's some next level craft cocktail mixology.

My attempt at this was so crude. One Friday night a bunch of years ago, the husband and I had the 'but-it-seemed-like-good-idea-at-the-time' idea of mixing Inca Cola with rum. Inca Cola is a super sweet, bright yellow colored soda. The concoction was sickly sweet but oddly irresistible. For a short, potent while. We stupidly dubbed it The Golden Path. Due to the toxic sugar levels and general pain in the aftermath, this drink is not recommended for anyone. My pancreas hurt just thinking about it, hahaha

It's even worse, Connor. I don't even really drink (with a few exceptions of rare occations of awkward socializing moments or to sip-try the taste of some stuff, or a sip of prune/ apricor liquor which I actually like).

Pumisher is going to call for my head once again, I suppose.

Anyone who struggles with enjoying alcohol should try an Irish Coffee. This is a drink for everyone ( including the non-coffee drinker). It serves the same purpose as Fine Time's red bull and vodka, but it's a delightfully flavorful recipe that transcends being just an alcoholic drink. Obviously, this is not something your going to order when you go clubbing, but certainly a good sneaky way of introducing a hard liquor that originally you wouldn't like. And maybe enlightening your palate, too.

Inca Cola sounds like something that was slipped into some of the horrid batches of Jungle Juice Sangria I have punished myself with. So much sugar it will dissolve your teeth by the next morning.

Joke is, I still have a soft spot for soft drinks...

As an Irish person, I agree! However I would suggest it's sort of a winter time drink.
I like to have it if I stop into a pub on a cold Saturday/Sunday afternoon. Unless the pub is really busy in which case the barman will hate you! This may be different outside Ireland & UK.
Ideally use Jameson or Paddy whiskey. In fact Jameson is a nice mellow whiskey for anyone who has perhaps tried Scotch and found it too abrasive or tried Jack Daniels and found it too sweet (although I love Jack Daniels).

@Connor the drinking age on the European side of the Atlantic is 18, in some places even lower (French kids start drinking wine with their meal by about ten). Perhaps remind your parents of this, and that supervised drinking at home with an adult present is actually a responsble way to start drinking. Otherwise you might end up drinking some cheap crap that you guzzle in a carpark. And you'll probably associate it with rebelling and acting like an idiot. They wouldn't want that, right?
Regards
Captain Responsible.

The "supposed" founding fathers that brought the drink to America reside in San Francisco at the 'Buena Vista (http://www.thebuenavista.com/home/home.html)'. They insist you use Tullamore Dew. And I can't argue cause it's damn good.

When I make them at home I usually just cheapen the experience and use Baileys (I know not a real Irish coffee!) and skip the heavy cream.

I need to host some sort of gathering in San Francisco where I can buy people some of these delicious concoctions.

I'll let everyone know when drinks are on me.

The Diamond Sky

Skyy Vodka and Crsytal Pepsi poured over a hand cut, old european style, diamond shaped ice cube (or a more basic ice cube from a diamond shaped ice try you bought on Etsy).

Silver Drizzle

Cut a lemon in half and place it at the bottom of a highball glass facing up. Dust a little sugar (white, not brown) over the exposed fruit then pour silver tequila over the lemon, until the tequila sits level with the top of the lemon. Top up with soda water and use the other half of the lemon to squeeze juice over the rim of the glass. Important: make sure the lemon juice dribbles, or 'drizzles', down the side of the glass.

Base 6 (also known as 'The Pills Wont Help You Now')

6 shots of base liquor. 1 part whiskey, 1 part vodka, 1 part tequila, 1 part rum, 1 part brandy and 1 part gin. Add which ever soda or juice will make you forget about the taste of your 2 least favourite spirits. For me, I would cover up the flavour of gin and brandy with the delicious crisp flavour of Barq's Root Beer.
Title: Re: It’s Friday Y’all!

Base 6 is a keeper  :)). Rumor has it you receive a free bumper sticker with completion.


Under Neon Lights - classic vodka tonic, chilled by these:
Spoiler

The Sunshine Underground - start with a full circular slice of lemon. Place it on the bottom of the inside of a wide-bottomed rock glass. Pack glass with ice. Pour 2 oz of preferred dark rum and fill to top with favorite brown colored cola. Lightly stir.

Replace the tequila with alka seltzer and the soda water with lemon flavoured energy drink (e.g Monster lemon, Rockstar lemon, Powerade lemon) and drink it in the morning for your hangover. Call it Morning Lemon.

The Star Guitar
Take one bottle of overpriced, semi-chilled mineral water, add two E's and some rave sweat. Swipe a random person's vodka-redbull and splash a bit in. Sprinkle a pinch of David Bowie's ashes (to ashes) on top in the shape of a guitar. Optional extra: do your face make up like Bowie circa "Starman". It tastes disgusting, but you should feel what I feel.
