• Poor Man's Pina Colada

  No blender, no fuss. Just mix either pineapple juice or pineapple soda with coconut rum.





• Peppermint Clarity

  Stir peppermint Shnaps into peppermint tea to cut through even the worst sinus issues.





• Irish Ice Cream Float

  Pro Tip: most name-brand Irish Cream (So, Bailey's or Five Farms) is thick enough to use as a syrup. Pour a shot over a scoop of vanilla or Moose Tracks ice cream.





• Irish Coffee

  Two parts hot, fresh coffee as strong as you can stand it, and one part Irish cream. A convenient shot of cream, sugar, and liquor all in one go! Or be a weenie and add only a single shot to a normal cup of coffee.





• Camp Mocha Mudslide

  The classic "camp mocha" is mixing instant coffee and powdered hot chocolate mix into the same canteen of hot water, and is as the name suggests great for camping and hiking. Make a fancy in-home version by using real coffee under the hot chocolate mix, and adding a shot or four of Kahlua and/or Irish Cream.





• Instant Spiced Cider

  Spike your apple juice or cider with spiced rum. Serve hot!





• The Trans Revolver

  This one is a bit more complicated, and uses a big glass... stripe together blue Hawaiian punch, pink strawberry-kiwi juice, and six shots of clear vodka in the middle, with more pink and then blue on top. Makes a trans flag, has six shots... trans revolver. Ice optional if ingredients aren't chilled, turns purple if stirred, and is roughly as dangerous as a Long Island Iced Tea.





• Rum, but make it slightly fancy

  Mix a flavored rum with the juice it's flavored after to make it go down easier. Passionfruit and fruit punch are both excellent. For the ultimate fancy-ness, use a cool shaped glass and garnish with a slice of said fruit.





• "I Don't Want to Think Anymore"

  Originally designed with ingredients on hand when groceries are scarce. Mix a kool-aid or Gatorade powdered mix at double strength, pour over ice, add a splash of lemon or lime (or a few drops of apple cider vinegar, or squeeze a Cutie orange if you're that desperate), and cram as much of any fruity or unflavored liquor on hand until you can just taste the alcohol. Water down slightly if you don't want to taste the alcohol, or drink as is.





• Party Punch

  Mix together equal amounts of red fruit punch and lemon-lime soda for a fancy-tasting party drink. Tastes best if mixed by the glass instead of in a punch bowl, but looks hella fancy in a clear pitcher or punch bowl. Spike with vodka, or don't. Make it look extra fancy with cherries, or sliced lemons or oranges - if you did spike it, the fruit will be a little boozy after you've drunk the punch.
