What's your poison?

I normally don't drink alcohol right after getting out of bed. But today is an exception.

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?

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*

  2. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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!

  13. 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.

  36. 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 ;)

  44. 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!

  45. 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.
