[QUOTE="EscherEnigma, post: 6207416, member: 6750014"] So I've been enjoying my Midori sours† recently. They're quick and easy to make, and the sugary/fruity flavors hide the buzz-kill of the burning alcohol nicely. So it's a nice quick drink while I'm gaming on the weekend. But I also like variety. Anyone have ideas for what else I could try‡? Anyway, I'm blatantly fishing for ideas 'cause I tragically skipped the "going out and getting smashed every night of the week" phase of college. Geek-themed ones would be amusing and perhaps enjoy a bias. ________ †As I make it, one shot Midori, one shot Vodka, fill the rest of the cup with Lemonade and Sweet & Sour mixer. Serve with a chopstick for stirring. ‡Restrictions: [LIST] [*] No ice.
