My drink of choice? Kiwi blended margarita. Dunno why, but I find it delicious and easy to drink. I think I am the only person to drink such a beverage though, because every time I ask for one I either get the 'you're weird' look or the 'we're out of kiwi mix' look. Bah! I am often relegated to more traditional things like strawberry margaritas or long island iced teas. Not that I'm complaining, the long island is scrumptious in its own right.
At some point during their New Year's celebration my friends came up with a new drink. This drink we dubbed "The Interceptor" in honor of Pirates of the Carribean, which we had just viewed. Here we go:
The Interceptor
1 shot Captain Morgan Spiced Rum in a shot glass
1 half-shot pineapple juice in a shot glass
Take the shot of rum as usual, then use the pineapple juice as your chaser. Some experimenting on my part has shown that if you wait more than a few seconds before taking the pineapple it is not nearly as effective. We have also discovered that other rums are not the same, it has to be the Captain for the flavor to be right.
We called it the Interceptor because the moment the pineapple hits your mouth you can no longer taste the rum.
For those of you able to drink, I highly recommend you give this one a try.
Bottoms up - with a chaser this time!
Next up is the Shoeless Cajun
We named this one for our good friend "Shoeless Cajun" Bill, the inventor of this monstrosity. The short version of the story behind the name is that Bill was at Mardi Gras in New Orleans. He hit the ATM for some cash and then someone hit him on the head for the same reason. When he awoke a little while later he was laying in a nearby alley without his shoes or his cash.
The Shoeless Cajun:
1 shot glass
Fill the glass halfway with Hosay -er, Jose Cuervo
Fill the other half with Jack Daniels
Where does the cajun part come in? The finishing touch is the three or four drops of tabasco sauce. If you're really itching for that hardcore burn use jabanero tabasco, but it really isn't necessary unless you're trying to punish yourself.
This one's a real beauty, it burns from the moment it touches your lips and hangs around for about 45 (that's right, forty-five) minutes. My friends chug an entire pint of beer in a vain attempt to quench the burning. Me, I sit there for a couple of minutes in a statuesque pose of agony.
Those of you able to drink and up for an adventure, give this one a try. Just make sure you have a friend with a camera ready to immortalize the look on your face
