What strange mixed drinks have you concocted out of boredom or desperation?
Folks were discussing recently on a thread the use of Gatorade as a mixer for Vodka.
I am curious to hear from those within the collective who have experimented with various liquors and unconventional mixers:
Anything really come out tasty?
Anything especially nasty?

Beer and tomato juice is about as wild and crazy as I get with my mixed drinks. It’s hard to do much with beer.
I’ve done a few but I don’t know the English names of the components. I’ll look for them or get back with pictures or something.
Drop a shot of tequila into a frosty mug of guiness. Drink it all at once. I don’t know if it had a name before that but we call it a tanker bomb. It’s delicious.
I had a bunch of strawberries that were about to go bad, and some cheap soju, so I tried to mush up the strawberries into a juice-like consistency and make a delightful soju cocktail. It ended up being cheap soju with almost rotten strawberry chunks.
@chyna That is a “Red Eye”
Equal parts of Gin, Vodka, Tequila and lime juice. Best if the liquors are straight out of the freezer.
The day after a house party, we had leftover rum, vodka, gin, and tequila, some Hawaiian Punch, and a couple oranges. We dumped everything in a big pot on the kitchen counter and called it “special juice.” It was amazing.
Another time, I was making margaritas and ran out of margarita mix and ice. Most people would have just taken shots of tequila at this point. My boyfriend was in a big health craze at the time so he started making an energy smoothie out of bananas, mangoes, watermelon chunks, and tequila. It was lukewarm. :-/
Bathtub Parties are the best! Just get everyone coming to bring a random bottle of hard liquor and pour it into a clean bathtub. Everyone can bring their own mix once they ladle their Bathtub brew into their own cup!
Well, it wasn’t me, and I didn’t partake, but I have friends who once put some “killer bud” as they call it into a bottle of tequila and let it sit about six months before diving in.
Apparently it did a lot for them.
I’m really fond of vodka soaked fruit. Particularly pineapple.
Swiss (Val-de-Travers) screwdriver.
OJ & absinthe.
I finally had all the ingredients for a smorgasbordini, inspired by the Spanish appetizer: banderillas. I made a very dry martini and in it I put a toothpick holding a cube of salami, an almond stuffed olive, a pickled onion and a piece of pimiento. It sounded so delicious.
It was not.
One of the best combinations is really cheap vodka and Tampico juice. You dump half the jug out and fill it back up with vodka. We would call it something different each time we drank it, based on what color juice we used. (Green drink, Orange Drink…)
This was a favorite until one New Years Eve, my best friend and I decided to make Pulp Fiction into a drinking game. We took a drink everytime they said “Fuck,” and two drinks everytime they said “Motherfucker.”
Needless to say, we had to rename our now, not-so-favorite drink, Liquid Death.
I don’t think we have ever been so sick.
Never again.
The worst combination I’ve ever experienced though is E&J Brandy and Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider. Ugh.
Years ago as a teen, a weekend at a friends whose parents were out of town. We had Rum but no mixers, sooo, picked a big bowl of little yellow plums and tossed ‘em in the blender with ice and sugar to make “plum rum” slushies.
Very delicious and innovative, however, none of could leave the house for the hangovers and diarrhea for the next 3 days.
Oh, and coupled with home made veggie burritos for dinner…well….you can imagine!
Also, everyone at the party fed their leftover burritos to “Simon” the resident dog, and we all woke up to about 30 piles of dog diarrhea in the house the next morning. Baaad, really, really BAD!
@Coloma The idea of hangovers and piles of dog diarrhea made me laugh. Did everybody just go back to bed? Yuck.
@Sunny2
It was terrible, my friend and had shirts tied around our face gagging trying to clean it up. haha
