I don't know if this has been mentioned but we get something called "crafted cocktails" about every other month. We like to do a signature cocktail for friends every once and a while and the kits are definitely different.

You heard of this? It's pretty cool.

Shaker & Spoon

Each month you’ll receive a box with 3 brand-new, original, unique recipes created just for you by world-class bartenders, and everything you need other than the alcohol to make 12 drinks (4 from each recipe). Every box revolves around a different spirit and one Shaker & Spoon box takes down one...

I lean towards Manhatten’s for night games, Whiskey Sours for day games.

Wife likes a Paper Plane - a bit sweet, but easy to make (and drink).

Scoop out a 1/2 cup of Cherry Garcia (1 pt) then microwave until soft.

Pour 1/2 pt of Everclear into the ice cream. Refrigerate for one hour, or until the Everclear has soaked in.

Freeze until use.

Before enjoying the ice cream drink 1 liter of water.

After eating ice cream drink 1 liter of water.

Feel free to let the ice cream melt and enjoy as a milkshake.

I did this once with THC infused Everclear, or so I'm told. Don't remember much from that night.

It's always the school teacher.

Since Jim Calhoun is the architect of the Connecticut dynasty and placed us among the top 6 (soon to be 4) schools with natties, and since he is, of course, Irish, I think its only fitting and proper to honor the Legend with Irish whiskey. Therefore, my libation of choice is Tullamore Dew on the rock, or for the national championship, Midleton's Very Rare. Might even wash it down with a cold Smithwick's.

Since we are on the topic, I can't believe no one's mentioned the official drink of my days at UConn:

1 garbage pail
Lots of Ice
Fruit (stolen from dining hall)
1 case of UConn fruit punch (purchased from dairy bar or stolen from dining hall)
4 bottles of Everclear (or more to taste)

Soak fruit in Everclear for up to 24 hours, combine all ingredients in the garbage pail, warn all freshman and out-of-staters, watch the ladies drop. Don't forget to decorate the water fountain as the mandated "alternative non-alcoholic beverage."

Whatever happened to grain alcohol and Hawaiian Punch?

Of course today's college kids ruin everything ..

Dozens of UMass students hospitalized after consuming "borgs"

The trend of making and consuming "borgs," or "blackout rage gallons," became popular on TikTok.

Whatever happened to grain alcohol and Hawaiian Punch?

That is basically what he described. Just adding fruit.

Everclear is grain alcohol.

We called them red arm parties because we stirred it with our bare arm and the kool aid/punch would leave a red stain behind on your skin. Guaranteed blackout.

You could always make your own version of the "Glass-Half-Empty BY Poster Andre Jackson Sour":

For the first half of the preparation:

• choose your booze and glass
• add ice
• add couple of splashes
• slam it a couple of times

For the second half of the preparation:

• insert a hot dog
• hold glass until ready to enjoy, then suddenly turn it over before it reaches your lips
• express your disappointment and anger at the spilled mess

It's very hard for some to actually drink and enjoy.

The Houston Cocktail, also known as the Holy Trinity, is made up of a combination of hydrocodone, alprazolam and carisoprodol that, when taken together, can be lethal for patients.

Looking pretty tasty.
