It's 10 a.m. on a Wednesday morning, I'm unemployed, I feel like shit, and I'm fabulous.
I need a fucking drink. Right now.
I contemplated my usual gin & tonic, or perhaps a vodka on the rocks, or maybe a cosmo. But I decided I had enough ingredients to get creative, so I looked online for recipes.
Ummm...not all drink recipes are good. Sometimes you can tell just by looking at the ingredients something is going to be a disaster.
Below, I have listed a few of the most unappealing cocktails I came across. I finally decided on a screwdriver (seems more appropriate for the a.m.), so I won't be having any of these. But you can if you want! Hahaha!
Enjoy!
(Note: These are REAL. People actually drink these concoctions)
McDonalds To Go!
The Whiskeyburger
(Journalists at Esquire magazine came up with this mixed drink, which became quite popular amongst their staff. It supposedly tastes like an actual hamburger.)
Stir well with cracked ice:
3 oz ground-chuck-infused whiskey
2 tsp tomato syrup
1/4 tsp mustard bitters
Strain into small old-fashioned glass or cocktail glass. Top off with lettuce-onion foam* and garnish with a dill-pickle round.
Like cough syrup??
Robitussin
(This is an extremely popular drink, found on countless drink sites. Apparently people love the taste of this medicine...)
1 1/2 oz. Cherry Vodka
1 1/2 oz. Root Beer Schnapps
Stir, best without the rocks. Tastes just like the real thing.
Health nut?
The Lawnmower
(This drink was actually conceptualized by Homer Simpson on an episode of the Simpsons. It has since become a legitimate drink.)
1 Part vodka
1 Part Wheatgrass Juice
Mix 1 part freshly squeezed wheatgrass juice and 1 part vodka into a shot glass and shoot
The Worst of the Worst
Hemorrhoid Fever
(I found this one here. I'm...speechless.)
4 oz Bourbon
18 oz 180 proof Vodka
7 oz Blueberry Schnapps
6 cubes Beef Bouillon
1 stick Butter
Throw all ingredients into a blender, add ice to taste, mix and chill, serve.
So...yummy?

I wish I could like yo I'm coming over to join ya because I could totally use a drink today too. My drink of choice is wine. Sweet wine because I don't get hangovers. The Hemmorhoid fever sounds omg like it could put ya in a coma. I hope you feel better & your day gets a lil better Jen! *hugs*
Oh ewww. the first and last sound the worst to me. There's something about a savoury cocktail that... well, just isn't right in my mind! Just give me a Mojito... I think I'll stick to the simple classics.
The last one almost made me gag. Ewwwww! Captain and diet is my staple. Yes, ma'am!
I'm not 21 yet but goodness, even I can tell that these are going to be messes. Yucccccck.

ewwwwww! Those sound so disgusting! The screwdriver sounds sooooo much better!
Not gonna lie Robitussin is one if my fave shots. Never heard of it as a drink drink though. Btw tried some leave in conditioner and it SAVED my hair!!! I was about the shave my head. LOL.
The last one screams "puke" to my ears...ewww!!! Not even the name is appealing!
The first one sounds pretty disgusting to. Well, to be honest, they all do!
But you did an amazing job with all the funny remarks!
You rock Jen!

ewwww...whiskey burger? what is the appeal for that? lol
Disgusting. The people who mix those drinks should be arrested.
I hope you're enjoying your morning buzz.
Since I started doing double-shifts on the weekends, I've taken to drinking in the morning sometimes. I love it.
Okay, ew. Who the hell drinks that crap? They all sound gross, but then again I don't drink alcohol at all... So I suppose I just wouldn't get it. Hahaha.
Feel better, darling! Things will start looking up!
Wow, those sound... disgusting! Oh my especially this burger drink.

Yikes. Don't know if it's cause I don't eat meat or if it's because....i don't DRINK meat...but the whiskeyburger turned my stomach for a minute there.
I'm totally with you on the screwdriver. That is certainly the morning drink of champions (and for some reason I traditionally have one every time I fly...who knows why?). I steer clear of the bloody mary at all times...I can't figure for the life of me what the appeal of that drink is...at any time of day.
Your comical sarcasm leads me to believe your a girl after my own heart, I just try to hide mine all the time ^;^ LOL! I loved reading this post, the Hamburger Cocktail-hahaha who drinks this? I hope you were joking about the screw driver at 10 am though ;) take care and do what I do, what for happy hour to get your drink on. Love ya XOXO
I'm with you on the awfulness that is being unemployed.
Some of these drinks are crazy, lol. The Whiskyburger sounds hilarious.
a cocktail that tastes like a burger?? eek!

There are days when I could drink most of these - always great to find a fellow Morrissey fan in the US.
my goodness.. some of those were weird.haha
I admit, I do drink, or used to, A LOT. But these are some I definitely will not try! Definitely that hamburger one. Umm, eww? Lol! :)
If you DRINK a stick of butter, you obviously have a death wish. Or at least a masochistic streak.
Or are related to Paula Dean.
I do not think I would drink any of them ... Also 'coz i only drink Wine. But you are funny as hell, Jen!
hemorrhoids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WTF,, the name itself is giving me quite a kick, would never want to touch tat thing!
Your wednesday morning sounds way more interesting than mine. I love getting drunk early in the morning. Except that I always end up falling asleep by noon.
Ugh I can't believe people actually drink some of those those, I think I'm going to need a screwdriver now. lol
ugggh some of it sounds awful! lol and what is a wiskey burger that sounds nasty hahaha
Ohmigosh gross! I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. :P
Love the recipes :) Might have to try these sometime ;)

Babe, how about I make you an indecent proposal? As soon as I get off work, I pick myself up a very nice bottle of wine, cancel my festive plans for the evening and drink to toast you?
We can even chat online while imbibing, yes?
The last one is very particular....

oh god the burger one is heinous. Beef infused vodka?!? No!!!!
BUT on a different note, I'm also pleased that we like so many of the same things! I also found those Koala cookies at a chinese grocery store and I kinda look down on people who are "too good" for Kraft mac and cheese ;)

I felt physically ill reading that last recipe - and I was a bartender for years! Worst drink I had to make was an Irish CAr Bomb - Guinness, Jameson Whiskey and Baileys Irish Cream Liquer - disgusting!
you are friggin hilarious. you are allowed a sad drink every once in a while. but an actual delish drink. a santa baby. it's vodka, triple sec, grenadine, pineapple juice, cranberry juice and a splash of sprite. rim the glass in honey then dip in coconut. so freaking delicious. i got wasted at 3 in the afternoon on these ;) true story.
