Drink Combos

I'm a big fan of Guinness and often drink it at home but I always wish it was creamier. So last night I had a brainwave. I went to the shop and bought a 6 pack and a carton of fresh cream. I put a big teaspoon of cream into my pint glass before adding the Guinness. It was gorgeous!! It tasted like the Guinness in Ireland (i don't live there....obviously).

It curdled a little and turned a weird maroon colour but it was really gorgeous.

Another of my favourite drinks is rum and ginger ale. One night recently I came home drunk and there was no booze in the gaf except for crabbies ginger ale beer and a bottle of rum so I thought...f*ck it...why not,,,,and mixed them together. I call it 'Crum'. I can't say it tasted great but i can say that I nearly puked on the tube the next day thinking about it.

So what about you? Any recommendations or suggestions?

I was desperate for a mixer one morning and had Actimel with vodka. We nicknamed it "Vodkamel". I'll be honest, this particular I wouldn't recommend.

Rocket Fuel. Ingredients: 1 bottle of buckfast, 1 bottle of cheap energy drink, 1 naggin of vodka.

Every time you take a swig of the bucky top it up with energy drink until all the energy drink is gone, then do the same with the vodka, and then finish the bottle.

Suggest you call it Guinness.

Was at a party at my mate's family house. When we arrived, he got us drinks which tasted pretty good. He said "it's vodka. I couldn't find a mixer, so I just put in some Calpol". Night was a blur

Eeewwww jesus....i'm hungover and that almost made me sick!!

Mr. CooL ICE · 13-04-2013 5:12pm

Don't knock it til you try it.

Well, after the events that unfolded that night, I'm won't be touching it ever again.

Original west coast cooler, mickey Finns blue & vodka makes a savage cocktail

PrincessPreach · 13-04-2013 5:19pm

Red wine and ribena is lovely and so is red wine topped up with cranberry juice.
I once had a kidney infection and was told not to drink alcohol but used to drink red wine with cran juice as its good for kidneys...the cranberries...not the vino

biko · 13-04-2013 5:24pm

Red wine and Coca Cola, when I was young and stupid.
Wasn't great but hey we also did beer and vitamin C.

Napper Hawkins · 13-04-2013 5:27pm

Hazelnut Baileys mixed with vodka and creme de cassis.

This is a thing that actually happened not 12 hours ago and is also the reason why my toilet is currently covered in vomit and I am too ****ed to clean it up.

I think I'm going blind.

tim3000 · 13-04-2013 5:29pm

Southern Comfort and West Coast Cooler. Absolutely gorgeous

Brandy and Blue WKD

hfallada · 13-04-2013 5:30pm

The best is cement mixer. A shot of baileys and a shot of lemon juice causes the cream in the baileys to split. Its ratchet

I knew two oul lads who had no mixer for poitin in the house so they mixed it with ribena.
When one of them was blind drunk throwing up at home later, his poor mrs assumed he was haemorrhaging internally and called the ambulance. He was too pished to explain, though the docs were wondering about the strange fruit smell as they pumped his stomach!

vodka and capri sun is great

Nevermind the ribena, try red wine and creme de cassis. Mmmmmm:D

Vodka mixed with west coast cooler. Turns an annoyingly girly drink into a slightly more proper drink.

Lawrence1895 · 13-04-2013 5:44pm

Lager and Blue Curacao...some neon green coloured, funny tasting stuff

mconigol · 13-04-2013 5:51pm

Real men drink their drinks straight...mixers are for sissies. Fact.

Wils110 · 13-04-2013 5:53pm

When I was in tenerife we use to drink litres of vodka,red bull,cranberry and a shot or two of amaretto ..it's amazing also vodka red bull and blackcurrant

Real men drink pints of flaming white spirits with varnish as a mixer. Fiction.

That's actually quite a popular drink in Spain (called Calimocho iirc), though it's considered to be a bit low class. Teenagers "haciendo botellón" (knacker drinking) in the streets are particularly fond of it. I actually think it works better as a drink than its' reputation would seem to indicate. I certainly wouldn't waste good wine on it but if the stuff you're drinking is plonk anyway I reckon the cola improves the taste considerably.

OP, for an interesting mix with Guinness, try drinking rum with it, either using the Guinness as a chaser or by dropping a shot glass full into the pint. The blend of flavours is really nice, dark rums working better than white ones.

Herb Powell · 13-04-2013 6:33pm

Beer and beer.

Todd Gack · 13-04-2013 6:36pm

Ladyboys - a pint of lager followed by a Gin and Tonic and then a Baileys chaser

Knex* · 13-04-2013 6:38pm

Vodka and Berocca Boost.

Not quite Vodka and Calpol, but a game changer nevertheless.

Used to do Vodka and Bulmers (Vulmers) when I was younger as well as Red Devils. Red Devils consisted of Bulmers, Smirnoff, Bacardi and Razza/Summerfruits or whatever. Think it was more the sugar overload in the latter mix that did the trick.

Cantona's Collars · 13-04-2013 6:40pm

Double vodka and a Smirnoff Ice in a pint glass. Another is vodka & lucozade.

DaithiMa · 13-04-2013 6:46pm

Double vodka, shot of baileys shot of tia maria and a double of creme de menthe all in a pint glass with ice.My brother introduced me to it. Damn expensive but surprisingly tasty and extremely potent.

Butterface · 13-04-2013 6:49pm

Back in the day I used to ask for a double vodka in a pint glass and a bottle of Kopparberg Mixed Fruit cider as a mixer.. the mixed fruit was 7% back then. We used to be destroyed on that concoction.

DaithiMa · 13-04-2013 6:56pm

Oh yeah, and ran out of beer at a mates house last week so he got the poitin out. Only mixer available was this rancidly disgusting pineappleade drink called SMAK(looked like it was sourced from an Afghanistani poundshop). I wouldn't recommend it, Poitin and smak is a combo not to be messed with..

Nothing stupid about it, quite popular in Czech republic as the red wine didn't used be all the great - coke makes it drinkable. It's quite nice. Just don't you dare do it with anything reasonable.

Great summer drink is a bottle of Fino or Manzanilla sherry and litre of Sprite/7up over lots of ice in a jug. Mix 2:1 Sprite:Sherry You can drink it all day, very refreshing for a summer BBQ.

The Spanish call it Rebujito (REB-OH-HEAT-TOE)

Vodka and milk, delish man.
