Top Ten Bin Budget Cocktails
Start 2010 with a bang and pimp that cocktail
Feature
The new year is here and whilst you may be skint there really is no excuse not to party. Therefore, because we are tremendously classy, and will be on a budget, Itchy prefers to party with cocktail bins, filled with creative and impressive drinks. Here is a list of some cocktails we've come across perfect to fill a huge bin, that will probably be emptied within twenty minutes..
1. Bin Laden Cocktail – Cocktail for the strong-willed
Yes, this is a drink named after probably the most notorious terrorist in the world, but it has the world 'bin' in the title, and Itchy can't resist anything pseudo-clever.
Ingredients:
Vodka
Bundaberg rum
Johnnie Walker Whiskey
2. Ramos Gin Fizz – For the hungry Sometimes we all like a drink that is light on the alcohol and heavy on the edible ingredients. Right? Actually, Itchy just wanted to include this recipe because we want to hear amusing stories about people dumping all these ingredients into a cocktail bin. Ingredients:
Sugar
A little orange flower water
Lemon juice
Lime juice
Egg white
Heavy Cream
Seltzer
Gin
3. Adios Motherfucker – For the party people
A cocktail that turns your tongue blue – just what everyone has been wishing for. Trust Itchy – this cocktail is called ”Adios Motherfucker“ for a reason. Once you start sucking this baby down, you will be slurring those words as you drift away to a blue booze heaven. Ingredients:
Vodka
Rum
Tequila
Gin
Blue Curacao Liquor
Sweet and Sour mix
7 Up
4. Thug Passion Champagne – For the players If you want to throw a hip-hop inspired party (and why wouldn't you?), this is the essential cocktail for everyone to drink. 2Pac rapped about this drink in his songs, so Itchy assumes it has the thug seal of approval. Make sure to buy cheap champagne, because we're not all filthy rich hip-hop artists with refrigerators full of Cristal. Ingredients:
Alize liquor
Cheap champagne
5. Woo Woo – For the taste buds
Itchy likes any drink that takes its name from an unruly human noise – especially a drink that tastes so nice. We go crazy for the tangy combination of peach schnapps and cranberry juice. Mix a little vodka in the bin, and Itchy is set for the night. Can we come to your party?
Ingredients:
Peach Schnapps
Vodka
Cranberry Juice 6. Frog in a Blender – For the fruity If you don't like Peach Schnapps or overexcited drink names, than maybe the Woo Woo isn't for you. Instead we recommend replacing the Schnapps with a few lime wheels and changing the name to something disgustingly ironic – Frog in a Blender. Just try and keep the visual out of your head. A little lime goes a long way. Ingredients:
Vodka
Cranberry Juice
Lime wheels
7. Midnight Cowboy – For Itchy's urban cowboy Itchy loves cheesy theme parties and we think a horse ridin', cow wranglin', dusty trails hittin' cowboy party would be the perfect excuse for us to whip out those ridiculous boots we've been hiding in our closet. Of course, we must be drinking heavily. The Midnight Cowboy is a perfect drink – bourbon and dark rum, ya'll? Where's our cowboy hat? Ingredients:
Bourbon
Dark rum
Heavy Cream 8. Monkey Gland – For the animals Itchy did a little research and it turns out this drink was named after a special surgery in which monkey testicle tissue is put into a human's body. Perhaps that should be one of the reasons people should realize this drink is only proper if they are in for a long night. It almost seems unnecessary to mix in other types of liquor when the villainous absinthe is involved. However, if it's that kind of party, it's that kind of party. Just don't take any pictures. Ingredients:
Gin
Orange Juice
Absinthe
Grenadine Syrup 9. Black Pepper – For the nose No, we didn't like the sound of black peppercorn syrup in a cocktail, either. But, alas, we all need that extra 'kick' every now and then. This rather bitter drink gets the perfect amount of spice from the black peppercorn. We also recommend this drink for clearing the senses. Actual senses – as in the five. Ingredients:
Gin
Dry Vermouth
Black Peppercorn Syrup
10. Sewer Rat – For the rodents Itchy isn't sure where this cocktail got it's name. Perhaps because Tia Maria is liquor made with coffee beans it will keep a person up all night with the sewer rats. Do sewer rats stay up all night? Oh, we don't know. Just enjoy this jolty and rather tasty cocktail. Ingredients:
Peach Schnapps
Vodka
Tia Maria
Orange Juice
