White Buffalo


October 30, 2011 (Day 215) — White Buffalo Okay. Shots. Oy. Shots. It’s been a week of shots. Let’s calm down this Halloween party-ful weekend with a nice cocktail to simply sit and sip. That’s just. Sit and sip. White Buffalo 1 oz Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon .75 oz Monarch Butterscotch Schnapps 2 tsp […]

Pumpkin Chunkin


October 29, 2011 (Day 214) — Pumpkin Chunkin Just what the hell is “punkin chunkin.” It’s essentially where grown men build trebuchets to hurl food across long distances. Pumpkin Chunkin 1/3 part Monarch Butterscotch Schnapps 1/3 part Hiram Walker Pumpkin Spice Liqueur 1/3 part bourbon Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake […]

Dirty Kermit


October 28, 2011 (Day 213) — Dirty Kermit One of the greatest pastimes of the internet is destroying childhood memories. In many ways, actually. Usually, through something sexual. There’s even for a rule for it. Rule 34. Don’t Google it if you have any sort of self-respect or love of your childhood memories. However, that […]

Caramel Apple


October 27, 2011 (Dat 212) — Caramel Apple Okay, I’m actually excited to use the Hiram Walker Caramel Apple liqueur as part of a shot. It’s actually pretty damn versatile liqueur, so I would imagine it would be perfectly suited for complex flavors in a quick burst. Our only concern really comes with the addition of the butterscotch schnapps, […]

ORIGINAL — Aphrodisiac


October 26, 2011 (Day 211) — Aphrodisiac  Chugging along with shots this week. Hopefully this one will be a bit less offensive than last nights. (On more than one level, actually.) Aphrodisiac 1/2 part Monarch Butterscotch Schnapps 1/2 part Fireball Cinnamon Whisky Combine the the ingredients in a shaker filled with ice. Shake briefly then […]

Luftwaffe


October 25, 2011 (Day 210) — Luftwaffe This week is shots. Why? Because I’m on vacation. Yes, I’ve written plenty about my personal beef with shots. They truthfully only exist to get you drunk as fast as you can. And that’s not why you drink, or at least that shouldn’t be why you drink. However, […]

ORIGINAL — Junk of the Heart


October 16, 2011 (Day 201) — Junk of the Heart The Kooks have a (relatively) new song out that continues to get hooked in my mind, much like their other songs. This drink takes it’s name from their new single, because in my mind both have a distinctly fall feeling to them. This is a […]

ORIGINAL — Waffle Cone


October 15, 2011 (Day 200) — Waffle Cone Dag yo. Can you already believe that it’s another 200 days into a second year of unique cocktails every day? Time flies when you’re drinking heavily. When I was younger, the best part of getting an ice cream cone as a treat wasn’t really os much as […]

ORIGINAL — Fairy Godfather


October 14, 2011 (Day 199) — Fairy Godfather This is the first image that pops up when you do a Google image search for “Fairy Godfather.” For the love of God, just don’t take SafeSearch off. Trust us on this. There’s a whole other level of depravity on the interwebs. Although, that really shouldn’t surprise […]

ORIGINAL — Dust Storm Waltz


October 13, 2011 (Day 198) — Dust Storm Waltz There was finally just a little bit of rain to settle the dust across the plains. However, for several days after a summer of unbearable heat, you could get brief glances of blinding dust storms. Whipping winds, loose soil do not for a pretty landscape make. […]
