    Not sure that that's what this forum is about, mate...

    Pernod and black is about the only mixed drink that I'd drink. Wow, haven't had one of them in a few years now. Must get me some :)

    That sounds dangerous. Seriously. I think after shock is a lethal drink and should be banned.

    Whats the difference between after shock and any other spirit or shot?

    The outrageous price! for what is vodka mixed with kiddies syrup.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,814 ✭✭✭✭JPA


    I have seen people horribly affected by After Shock, more than any other spirit. I'm not sure what it is about that drink that is so potent.
    Probably it's ability to affect you in seconds.

    Captain Morgan's Spiced and Coke or Ginger Ale is beautiful.
    Tia Maria and milk is nice.Not everyones cup of tea though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,818 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    Dark rum & orange juice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    pernod and black mixed with some 80% absinthe - cant taste it at all

    apple juice and whiskey

    buckfast, cider, lucozade and crushed ice in a bucket, garnished with mint leaves


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 394 ✭✭mickjohnlong


    malibu and lime cant go wrong and the obivous red bull and vodka


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭Frankiestylee


    Whiskey and lime is tasty

    The fact it is usually drank undiluted in shots so hits you faster, it goes down easy so you can easily drink 10 shots in a short time. Most "cocktail shooters" are made from low % liquers, while aftershock is 40%. Any spirit drank like that will hit you hard, be it aftershock or tequila, but most would find aftershock more palatable than tequila and so drink more.


    Pressed applejuice and good vodka is my favourite


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 61 ✭✭anonymous69


    Bacardi and Red Bull is gorgeous!! Much nicer than vodka and red bull :)

    I find that very hard to believe! What possessed you to mix them in the first place?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭ambro25


    This summer, as very many summers before, I shall be mostly drinking...

    Black Velvets: Guiness and Strongbow Cider (half of each in a pint, from tap).

    Kamikazes: Sapporo (or other Japanese lager) pint, with a shot glass of sake dropped in (submarine-style).

    Cuba Libres: dark rhum, lime juice (fresh), drop of angostura, drop of cane sugar (liquid), add coke, in a tumbler on lots of ice and a slice of lime.

    and, not for the faint-hearted, and if in a rush to get plastered, TGVs (French play on words, based on high-speed train of same name): Tequila-Gin-Vodka (drop of each in shot glass), with dash of tonic or coke, slammed + downed in one.

    And of course, ambro25's very special (real-) champagne cocktail, garanteed to put the buzz in anything morpholigically capable of swallowing it.

    I can never understand people drinking Red Bull (and equivalents) - horrid stuff, tastes like a bad medicine.

    Agreed that whisky and lime is easy on the tongue, with a few cubes - very common in Nothern UK, any pub landlord knows it well.

    Enjoy with lots of moderation and be responsible about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,818 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    Brandy & a good dash of peppermint cordial is a great way of "refreshing" your system mid-way through a serious Guinness session.

    Have you tried buffalo grass vodka and apple juice, its a polish drink I believe


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,745 ✭✭✭doonothing


    southern comfort, amaretto and a dash of lime (yes i tried it after the brand new song, i dont even like them but my were they bang on the button!)

    or just soco and 7up.
    i usually go for double socos with one 7up in a pint glass with lotsa ice. 3/4 of them and yer night is set...

    or, well, you know, as much as you could comfortably drink in moderation, it isn't a terribly harsh drink on the tastebuds. that doesnt mean its not strong though so i wouldnt recommend too muhc... not to mention the price!

    anyone know of a good deal on the above types of drinks?

    Bison Grass Vodka you mean :)

    It's great with apple juice. It's a very, very smooth vodka. Have a bottle of it in my apartment for special occasions. It has a blade of grass in the bottle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,381 ✭✭✭oblivious


    Yep that the stuff!

    Yep, I was given a bottle and had it lying around for ages, didnt go well with any fizzy drinks. Then my mate got a bottle thinking it was unflavoured vodka, just trying different brands. He too didnt know what to mix with, had heard me recommending apple juice and tried it. Goes VERY well. Tastes like apple tarts! sort of cinammon taste to it. Pressed apple juice is much nicer than normal clear stuff, has a nice zing to it, like biting into a acidic granny smith.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,195 ✭✭✭Corruptedmorals


    Ehh....Apple Mickey Finns with 7up..so good..yes I know it's just meant for shots..

    And Jaegerbombs..lovely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,500 ✭✭✭✭cson


    Mickey Finns is like water to go down. Doesn't mean it won't affect you though, a bottle or two...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,120 ✭✭✭shrapnel222


    champagne and tequila!!!! will definitely get you going.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 139 ✭✭tattoo


    Grass Vodka And Apple Is Ment To Be Lush, Polish Swere By I Believe. Got A Bottle To Try And My House Warming.
    Just Tried Port And Blue Wicked, Tastes Like Ribena.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,380 ✭✭✭remus808


    Tia Maria and Milk... (gorgeous, tastes like chocolate milkshake)

    Jagermeister and Red Bull... (gives a buzz like no other)

    Peach Schnapps and Blackcurrant (can be a bit sweet but very tasty)

    Mac Mac (every flavour of bacardi breezer mixed... pure sex)

    And my all time favourite... Gin and coke!!

    I drank a pint of gin and curry sauce once....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,088 ✭✭✭rag2gar


    Tia maria and lucozade.. Anyone tryed that?

    Tastes a bit like the old red whoppa bars (dyou remember them?)

    the perfect drink: 4 cans of lager, 4 cans of cider, nagin of vodka, half a bottle of orange squash (just over half a pint)

    ...its best if 2 people drink it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35 artie ziff


    i've been opening eyes to the beauty of TIA MARIA & ORANGE JUICE. sounds strange but tastes like the orange barley sweets of my childhood.

    also, jameson and ginger ale with a slice of lime is nice

    For something that's a bit more possible to drink, wouldnt this work better?

    1 can lager
    1 can cider
    50ml vodka (2 shots?)
    125ml orange squash

    sounds like it could be nice!

    buckfast, cider, lucozade and crushed ice in a bucket, garnished with mint leaves
    without the mint that sounds a tasty little mix


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,249 ✭✭✭✭Kinetic^


    1 pint glass
    1 smirnoff ice
    1 shot of southern comfort
    1 dash of blackcurrant
    Loads of ice

    Couple of varied ones

    Surfer on Acid - 1 shot malibu and jaeger mixed with Orange Juice
    Orange Sherbert - Southern Comfort white and Lucazade
    Liquid Cocaine shooter - 1/3rd Peach Schnapps, Goldslager and Jaeger
    After 8 shooter - Baileys & Creme de Menth mixed
    Cock Sucking Cowboy (or polite Butterball) shooter - Butterscotch with baileys floated
    Three wise men - Jim, Jack and Johnny
    2 Wise men and a pirate - Jim & Jack + Captain Morgan
    Irish Flag - Creme de menthe, Baileys and irish whiskey
    Green-52 (flaming!!) - 1/3 Bailey's Irish Cream, 1/3 Tia Maria, 1/3 Absinthe, light top on fire and drink through a straw

    You can also do a couple of fun ones with the likes of Blue curacao and vodka (Anti-freeze)

    These are the ones I can think of now at the moment


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,148 ✭✭✭✭Raskolnikov


    My absolute favourite cocktail in the world is a Blue Long Island Ice Tea.

    1 Part Vodka
    1 Part Rum
    1 Part Blue Curacao
    1 Part Tequila
    1 Part Gin

    Mix the lot together with lots of crushed ice to get a gorgeous looking florescent blue looking liquid.

    I wouldn't consider Aftershock lethal. It's a "Teenager look at me I'm hard" type of drink. Pour whiskey down their necks and they'll start crying.

    For another skittle-y drink, simply mix Cointreau and Blackcurrant.

    I make that in work now and again, throw in Redbull as the mixer. Goes down a treat :D

    There are various incarnations of a Singapore Sling. Here's how I make mine and they're very nice.

    2 shots Gin
    1 shot Cherry Brandy
    1 Shot Lemon Juice
    Shake with ice, pour in glass and top up with Soda Water.

    A lot of recipes suggest 1 Shot of Grenadine Syrup but I like the slightly more bitter taste without it. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 148 ✭✭kieranmcg1

    and just enough Coca-Cola to make it black
