Mixed Drinks
 

Okay, so I'm really happy, the girl I asked to formal totally said yes, and is totally awesome.

She asked me to surprise her with what I get for her to drink.

At her formal on Friday she got sick off her normal drink which is raspberry vodka and juice...so that's out.
Since I'm supposed to surprise her I want it to be something more than rum and coke...
She doesn't want beer if there is an alternative.
She is not a wine cooler chick nor does she like Smirnoff Ice.
She wants hard liquor...

So what are your ideas for something... I'm thinking like one bottle and a mixer so that I don't go broke (I like her a lot, but we'll wait for a little more something substantial before I go way out)

The one idea I had so far was vanilla vodka and coke for a vanilla coke type taste.

Anyone out there have a fave mixed drink they care to share?

If she got sick off of raspberry vodka, I doubt she'll enjoy my Tokyo Tea. :D

dude, wheres your formal? i just went to the AOPI formal down there friday and it was so totally fun!

Chopper - I'm not totally sure, but we're having it with SAE and Gamma Phi (which also pretty much means that we're having it with Pike as well since so many G-Phi's are dating Pikes!)

I had a couple of friends go to AOPi's formal...I PM'd you

malibu and pineapple (or parrot bay) - you can add grenadine to it if you'd like

A Phi, those are awesome drinks, my favorite! It's a girl after my own heart!

Bullfrog

-1 1/2 oz Vodka

-5 oz Lemonade

Pour into a glass 1/2 full of ice. Top with a wedge of lime.

Margaritas

Whiskey sour.

Barcardi Limon and Pink Lemonade, or Bacardi Cyclon and OJ with a little greanadine.....awesome drinks! Has anyone else tried the Cyclon liquor...it's fairly new???

Bacardi Limon plus pepsi makes for a much improved pepsi twist.

How about Absolut Citron and tonic?

Jack & Cokes are pretty decent as well..

Still on my Margarita kick though.

Red Bull and Vodka

Red Bull and Jaeger

Amaretto Sour

Vodka Tonic, with Rose's Lime Juice

Sapphire and Tonic, if she can handle it...

Bay Breeze (Cranberry, Pineapple and Vodka)

Madraas (Cranbery, Orange and Vodka)

Ummm... I'll think of more later. Those are just the easy ones that come to mind...

Amaretto sour

Betarulz- I replied to you pm

as far as drinks go, you can never go wrong with captian and coke, or southern comfort and dr pepper, liquid cocaine is good too, i think it has a few different types of fruit juices in it maybe, not sure, but i know its good! or long island iced teas work too

It tastes like lemonade, much like Kevlar's suggestion, but has a more sophistocated name. You can also make it either sweet or sour, depending upon taste.

amaretto sour.... YUMMY

Another vote for Amaretto Sour! Yum! :)

bumping... I learned some great things from this thread..

I have never seen this outside of Champaign, but orange vodka and orange krush...you won't even know you are drinking!

-bump-

Back in my younger days in the Air Farce, the barracks parties over at 'Stalag 177' and 'Stalag 178' (the enlisted barracks) were pretty wild on weekends. I used to make a killer Lawn Guisland (that's Long Island for you non-Noo Yawkers :) ) iced tea. Here's my recipe:

1/2 oz. Vodka (Smirnoff or better preferred)
1/2 oz. Gin (Gordon's or Tanqueray preferred)
1/2 oz. Rum (Bacardi Silver or Captain Morgan Silver)
1/2 oz. Triple Sec (Cointreau preferred)
1 oz. Sweet & Sour mix
a little Rose's Lime juice

Top lightly with Cherry Coke to taste and for color. Done right, it'll taste like an iced tea with lemon and you won't taste any alcohol at all on the first drink, on the second, or the third... this sh*t WILL sneak up on you! :D

I was taught long ago that a LI Iced Tea doesn't have tequila in it, if you add tequila it's a 'Texas Tea' (and I'm not talkin' about oil! :) ).

The other house specialties were trashcan punch and Bitburger 'mortar shells' (1/2-liter bottles). Good thing the base clinic was across the street!

You know what? After last night combining tequila and 151 shots all night I began to ponder the worth of mixed drinks, lol. I pondered a lot of things that night. Yep.

But can you remember any of it?! :p

My new favorite right now is Stoli Vanil and Ginger Ale.
