I'm pretty simple when it comes to mixed drinks if I'm making 'em. Usually just gaterade, powerade, or sprite...

Been browsing around the net today a bit for something a bit more tasty.

What are you favs that don't require buying to much for ingredients ...just a few items?

edit: not a fan of orange juice.

Strange discovery i made a few years back: one does not taste vodka at all when combined with grapefruit juice...

But i usually have mine with a little ice.

Summer Beer. It's fruity, but refreshing and it tastes alright. Also, I didn't hit me as hard as I expected, even after 3 pints' worth.

1 can Frozen pink lemonade conc.
6 cans cheap beer
12 oz vodka

or something like that. I don't remember.


Otherwise, vodka tonic.

Belvedere, Level or Grey Goose and ice

vodka tonic or gin and tonic, with a couple of lime wedges.


i may be wrong here..... isn't it bad to mix electrolytes with alcohol when you're drinking?

No... alcohol's a diuretic, and you piss out a lot of electrolytes. You're supposed to keep your electrolytes replenished and stay hydrated. Helps prevent hangovers.

ah okay. i had heard that they would help absorb alcohol directly into your bloodstream faster, but i was never sure if it was true or not.

2 parts vodka, 4 parts ginger beer, bit of lime juice.

I got several friends slammed out of their gourds mixing them screwdrivers with generous dashes of lemon juice mixed in. Works a treat.


Grey Goose screwdrivers ftw, btw.

Hahaha, without them knowing they were boozing it up?

I had that plan for a while when i found out about the curious properties of grapefruit, but i felt it would be wrong somehow... like secretly throwing magic mushrooms on a pizza and feeding it to someone. Before you know it, people think they're going absolutely stone crazy or something.

Nah, they knew about it, I'm not that much of an asshole.

a bartender once spiked my beers with gin. for some reason, you cant taste it.

had 3 beers and had 2 tongues. it didnt compute

very true but drink too much and the vodka turns into the last of your worries !

4 parts vodka (preferably Ketel One, Grey Goose, level)
2 parts Peachtree Schnops
2 parts Cranberry Juice (I like to use the Twister Apple Berry Blast)
1 part Orange Juice (I like to use Twister Orange Banana)

My spin on a cosmo... Delicious! (Not a fan or OJ either hence the 2 vs. 1 and the spin on the juices.) This does the trick at all my parties.
