Good, simple-to-mix drinks

Hey, so, vodka and orange juice is getting old.

So is rum and coke.

Anyone know of good drinks with no more than 2 ingredients? Preferably one that someone as dumb and talentless as I can mix. So, it must not involve fractions :oops: :cry:

I take it back, vodka and orange juice is never old, but variety is the spice of life.

Well, there are the manlier drinks.

Beer and beer.

Scotch and scotch.



I'm actually a sucker for cranberry soda and vodka, or peppermint schnapps and chocolate milk

If you want something light to drink for the summer, just buy yourself a nice cask (bag-in-box) white whine - something about a 1 or a 2 on the sweetness scale, like a reisling. Casks are a bit ghetto, but they have the convenience that they don't spoil after they're opened like bottles do

I don't drink, but I'm told Jack and Mountain Dew go well together.

Also Told the Dirty Girlscout is good, tastes like those thin-mint Girlscout cookies.

It's not two ingredients, but I'm a fan of my discovery of red gatorade + grenadine + vodka. Google tells me it's called the "ugly czech" but I think that's retarded. Grenadine+7up+vodka is also nice.

And there's always the standard gin&tonic. Pepsi and vodka is good too...good enough that pepsi doesn't taste quite right for me anymore without booze in it :/

I invented a drink, it's called the "Canadian Iced Tea".

Get an empty Tim Hortons cup,
Put beer in it.

Ya, the name is too long, why don't we just shorten it to the "Licho"?

Sunrise is fine (better with Tequilla instead of vodka)

...

uh...

Ok let me qualify my earlier statement. Of the two drinks, ONE MUST CONTAIN LARGE AMOUNTS OF ALCOHOL.

See? Just like that. Sinbad here has the right idea, he even chose ingredients I have in my house. Don't be an overachieving whore like him, but at least put a little effort into it next time.

Vodka + Red Bull is aight (but expensive unless you can get a good deal on the Red Bull) a double of vodka and a 250mL can/bottle in a glass. dead easy.

A friend of mine drinks Tequila and Lemonade, thats an easy drink too.

I prefer to stick to beer myself.

I've always had a thing for lime and soda water. When I'm daring I go for lime and ginger ale.

Doesn't it say right on the can of red bull, do not mix with alcohol?

See, if they have to warn you not to, it's obviously a thing that is commonly done.

There's always Irish Coffee... there are complicated recipes but you can get away with Coffee+Bailies Irish Cream... or just "Something in a coffee mug that looks like coffee but is really alcoholic".

tbh ive never looked. Theres the warning about pregnant/lactating women, but since you have a penis that doesn't really apply.

'Special' coffees are always good. ie make yourself a nice cup of coffee, and dump a double of whiskey into it.

*edit* turns out the depressant/stimulant combination (alcohol/caffiene) 'could' be dangerous, but no real research has been done on it

I think I had a white russian once, but you didn't list the ingredients. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking vodka and milk

Thank you for honoring me this way, and I wish you remind the world that Pressure Line too, does have a penis and it's a fine penis.
