MOJITO
I’m addicted to these. Absolutely addicted. When they’re made right, it hits in my sweet spot like nothing else. If your bachelor party finds itself in warmer climes, like maybe Vegas or Miami, just whip up a batch of these and watch the world just cool down by about ten degrees. Completely awesome.
MARGARITA
When most people think party, this is the drink that usually comes to mind. It’s tried, true, and road tested. But, why settle for a pitcher of that pre-made dreck from the grocery store, when you can take this recipe that takes this old stand-by to another level?
Oh, and by the way – can somebody please tell me which bar this crazy hot mamacita is working at? Ay dios mio! Ay mamí tù tan caliente!
MARTINI
It’s classy. It’s elegant. It’s sophisticated. Then why the hell would you drink this at your bachelor party? Why? Because it’s virtually 100% alcohol, that’s why. As classic drinks go, it would be hard to find more bang for your buck.
LONG ISLAND ICE TEA
The grand-daddy of them all. The widow-maker. This bad-boy packs more alcohol, In both types and volume, than just about any other drink. This cocktail may not be very in-style nowadays, but it does its job just fine. It’s kind of like an old, rusted, beat-up pick-up truck that’s maybe seen better days – but can still haul your ass around like nobody’s business. Don’t underestimate this one.
MANHATTAN
I’ve always thought that the cherry at the bottom was a little bit frou-frou, but you just can’t go wrong with bourbon.
GIN AND TONIC
For me, the trick to this drink is finding a really high quality gin. Otherwise, it can taste like you’ve got a mouthful of your mom’s perfume. Not that I would know. Seriously. Hey, why are you looking at me like that?
MIAMI COCAINE
Don’t be surprised if Crockett and Tubbs come knocking at your door after a few of these. As the mixmaster says, “It’s a Long Island Ice Tea with a twist.”
IRISH CAR BOMB
O.K., fine. So maybe the name is a tad culturally insensitive, but so are most things done at a bachelor party. These go down so smooth and creamy, and taste so good, it’s almost a shame you have to shoot them. But, check out the end of the clip and see what happens if you wait too long to drink them. To be honest, I’ve never let one sit that long. But, hey… You learn something new every day.
JAGER BOMB
Jager. Red Bull. Do I really need to say anything more?
