• Potion: Bacardi and SoBe- Any flavor of SoBe will work. They all taste great. I came up with this one while drinking straight shooters of Bacardi with my friends. The straight shots were getting too harsh and I happened to have a SoBe Elixir (hence the name Potion). They mixed beautifully and I've been drinking Potions ever since.

• Giogoshi: White Wine and Punch Flavored Jack Daniel's Countrytime Cocktails- As gross as this may sound, it tastes great. My friends and I were drinking white wine which has a tendancy to make you a little silly. I suggested mixing the JD Cocktails we had with the wine. My friends told me it was a stupid idea, but I talked them into it. Much to our surprise, it was delicious. The fruity flavor and the slight carbonation added a nice little something to the wine. When discusing what we should call our new discovery, my friend said "Giogoshi" in a drunken stupor. The name stuck.

• Monster Juice: Any fruit (juices) you find in the fridge mixed with whatever kind of liquor you have mixed with ice in a blender- (I don't think I was the first person to do this). Truely desperate times call for desperate measures. The first time this happened when 5 people were fighting over 2 beers. The only other alcohol we had was some Jose Cuervo, which no one could drink straight. So we just put some in the blender, along with Odwalla "Vitamin C Monster" (hence Monster Juice), orange juice, pineapple juice, and some ice and blended it up. God it was aweful. But we were desperate. The second time we mixed Bacardi, slices of papaya, and some Kern's mango juice. It didn't taste much better than the original monster juice. Only make this if you are really desperate for a mixer.

• Tabasco Surprise: Vodka and Tabasco Sauce- I asked my friend to go in the kitchen and make me another Bloody Mary (we had already had six or so at that point). She brought back a very strong, very spicy, very harsh drink. I found out a couple days later what the surprise was: apparently we had run out of bloody mary mix and my drink was made purely of vodka and tabasco sauce. No wonder I got so sick!

• Twisted Devil: Bacardi, Champaigne, White Zinfindel, Sun Devil- My friend made this one up a few nights ago when she was smashed. She only drinks cheap wine and Baccardi so she decided to mix it all together. The drink is simply Baccardi, Champaigne, White Zin and Sun Devil fruit cooler mixed with ice in a blender. Absolutely delicious.

The Gut-Fuck

One day, about 5am, after a night of revelling in Glasgow's George Square due to Hogmanay, my friend and myself concocted this little beauty...

1 pint glass
1 can of Budweiser
Some Tequila
Blackcurrant juice
Lots of Sugar

Drink it down, spew it up, stay drunk!

Also works with - vodka, whisky, rum, any random spirit.

Its inception took place in a condo in Vegas that I was, for some inexplicable reason, staying at for a weekend. Most of the people present were under twenty-one, and, therefore, we had to deal with the booze on hand.

The drink itself is named after a really bad pun I had come up with a week before when I was alone in the car, driving from Oregon to Nevada.

Here's how the magic goes:

In a shaker, mix:

• three parts per person of vodka
• two parts per person of sweet vermouth
• two parts per person of triple sec
• however much sloe gin you can stomach

Hit puree.

Pray ferverently to what gods there be.

Turn off the blender, and sort between all the desperate dogs around.

This was, of course, a few years ago, and can probably never be recreated to its first form. It seemed yummy, but, as I recall, we were scratchin' bottom barrel for a drink.

Later in the night, marschino cherries were added to the mixture. As far as I know, everybody from that party grew up to be respectable citizens and can be found in positions of high power. Well, except for me.

Also, I'm fairly certain that, once upon a time, the Screaming Purple Jesus was invented by a bunch of drunk bastards.

The DC

• 1 shot spiced rum
• 1 shot amaretto
• 1/2 shot vodka
• Splash of Bailey's Irish Cream

The V2

(the official drink of The Xtension Chords)

• 1 part vodka
• 3 parts Vess Whistle

MAM

The MAM was the winner of a wholly unnecessary ad hoc competition in the bar at Hull University one evening circa 1990 to produce the most disgusting drink, with the losers buying and the winner consuming. There is no way that any party to the event was sober:

• 1/2 imperial pint of mild ale (if unavailable, I guess you could probably use some kind of porter or stout. Doesn't really matter, since it will look and taste foul any way you do it)
• one double shot of Advocaat
• one shot of Malibu

Stir briskly and down in one with your eyes and nose tight shut. And don't say I didn't warn you.

Stuka

1 oz. cheap gin,
1 oz. Fresca,

Mix the ingredients together, in a double shot glass. Drink.
An interesting drink that actually doesn't taste that bad. The flavors of gin and Fresca nearly cancel each other out, and the result is a nice mellow taste.

I have no idea where the name came from. Stuka is the name of a German warplane company during World War Two. Apparently it made sense at the time.
