Is this now the official thread of "don't go there" cocktails?

| Here's an odd... but very tasty drink Amaretto, rootbeer and a twist of lime. My husband made it up at his brother's wedding a few years ago and just about everyone liked it (so it isn't just my weird taste).

Wasn't bad really, either. I suppose I just have much lower tastes than swordwench, although I can't imagine happily mixing grape soda with any alcohol. | |

| Years ago, in college, I was shopping in the grocery store. Over in the next aisle, I suddenly heard, "Hooray! Prune Juice! Let's get some and make Prune Juice Screwdrivers".
That was one time I was glad not to know where the party was.
(I suppose the proper name for that cocktail would be the Pile Driver?)

I've matured to the place where there's no shame in a Grey Goose martini, straight up, with a twist of lemon. Forget the silly mixers.
Now we need to lure KD5MDK over to the adults-only table and welcome him into the fold... Disclaimer: Bear in mind, boys and girls, the legal age for purchase and consumption of alcohol was 18 back then. This was the Stone Age.
Ugh. Lime kool-aid. For college, it was more like this: sort of a potluck supper for the socially inept. The "fruit" base was Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill, and we invited everyone on the floor to come over with a bottle of whatever they had. Anything and everything went into the brew, and I mixed it all up in a huge plastic vat that my father - a commercial fisherman - had used to store chum. (It was cleaned out by then, I swear.) The results were toxic, and never the same twice. BAD idea.

I'm certain that more than a couple of you were providing your own chum for the waters by the end of the night with that mix.

| Yuck. You needed the grace and elegance of The University party standard, Grain Punch.
1 30 gal trashcan
1 gallon jug of grain alcohol
Ice (dry ice had an odd effect of making the punch stronger as it got later)
Enough juice, koolaid, etc to fill it up
For "punch to go", repackage in mason jars.
Always tasty. Invariably effective.

Then made up for lost time in grad school to the point where within a month, the local liquor store clerk knew you by name and would say things like "didn't you buy a bottle of Bacardi last week?" | |

| Hawaiian punch...
Vodka...
Put it in a clean trash can and stir it with a golf put.
Trash Can Punch.

Always tasty. Invariably effective. | Have you no class? Where's the fruit soaked in sugar, triple sec, and peach schnapps? Possibly a liter or 2 of sprite for some bubbles and maybe another handle of vodka? If you're gonna do it, you might as well do it right. Next you know you'll tell me that Natty and Beast are acceptable for consumption.
