GargleBlaster
#53747
This troper has a homebrew DND race with a special kind of alcoholic drink which is a thick syrup considering they're an aquatic race. a popular tale from their folklore talks about how just one cup of the stuff knocked out a group of Dwarves.
#53748
This troper, while editing this, is drinking an iced tea, mixed with lemon, that was brewed for 15 minutes, it's got more caffine than coffee,but its not a gargle blaster for me, I've named it the saltie, cause its like a salt water croc death roll.
#53749
same troper as above: don't ever make a granita using lemon iced tea made with boiled soda water and then almost frozen put it in a blender with ice cubes and drink.
#53750
different troper, commenting on the above drink. this troper made the almost the same drink except for a few differences. My version went like this: steep two teabags for 15 minutes, adding a pinch of ginger during the steeping. Pour over ice and stir in a teaspoon of ginger. Very bitter, and leaves a tingly warmth in the back of your throat.
#53751
Take one third Solo or LIFT, one third Cascade Ultra-C blackcurrant juice, and one third Coca-Cola. Pour into a glass and stir, and you have the concoction that
I, Reiko Kazama, have named
Perfect Dark.
#53752
This troper saw a drink at a
March Crown called Thor's Hammer. It's bacially lemonade but you replace the water with Everclear and Vodka.
#53753
In honor of Scotty's drink from StarTrek, this troper and his friends invented a concoction we call
GREEN. That stands for: Gin, Rum, Everclear,
Everclear, and Apple Schnapps. There's always the joke that the apple schnapps doesn't begin with an N, but after one shot of GREEN you don't care. After three you realize apples are green.
#53754
Me and a friend of mine made one on a fateful (well it wasn't fateful at all but fateful sounds just cool) new years eve. It was made of vodka, orange juice, jägermeister, beer, red wine, lemon juice, tabasco, sugar, cola and milk. We concluded that it "tasted like". Interestingly we didn't get a hangover but my friend puked stuff he didn't even eat.
#53755
The Orange Juice/Lemon Juice probably spoiled the milk.
#53756
Bored one day in college, several drinks that were available were combined. The I Want To Die ended up combining: 2 shots of grenadine, one shot of 99 bananas, 1 shot of 151, one shot of hot damn, one shot of gin, one shot of amaretto, 2 shots of triple sec, and 1 shot of apricot brandy. There were probably a couple of other ingredients added, as the final product filled a large glass and was a bit over 60 proof. It was expected to be awful (thus the name I Want To Die), but in fact there was NO ALCOHOL BURN.
#53757
This troper's colleague came up with the Stormforce. Everyone knows what a
Dark and Stormy is, right? This is the turbo version. A pint of alcoholic ginger beer, at about 6% itself, with a triple dark rum in it. Very refreshing and drinkable, until they all gang up on you at once after number three and hit you like a hammer. Get a few in before a night out, best way to kick things off.
#53758
I like coming up with versions of these for just about any consumable product, my favorite of them being the "big ol freaking sandwich of trash", which is, with a slice of cheese between each ingredient, Bread, ham, bacon, meatballs, sauce, bread, sauce, meatballs, bacon, ham, bread, which is then grilled. I'd add vegetables to it, but it would probably ruin the sandwich even for people who aren't picky eaters. Sadly, these are just ideas that haven't been tried, but I have sometimes tried mixing two sodas together, they always come out tasting grape flavored.
#53759
That sandwich sounds SO TASTY. Too bad it'd be too big to take a proper bite. *drool*
#53760
This troper will have to try that sandwich idea. He also works in a pizzeria, and has seen people order what his cohorts nicknamed the "Garbage Patch Pizza": pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, chicken, mushrooms, onions, three different types of peppers, green olives, black olives, broccoli, cauliflower, tomato, and lettuce.
#53762
YonTroper has actually made the sandwich. It was great, but he had to eat it with a knife and fork because he couldn't fit it in his mouth. He also toasted the bread instead of grilling it, and made sure to butter both sides of the bread. Clogged arteries ahoy!
#53763
The sandwich sounds like some of the entries on http://www.thisiswhyyourefat.com .
#53764
This troper, too constantly tries new mixtures of unusual ingredients prepared in different ways. He also has memorized certain ratios of fountain drinks that taste great, or like other drinks, or one drink that requires four crushed habanero peppers per medium-size cup. Often, they require not only the proper ratios, but also to be added in a particular order and manner, or they just taste like a bunch of mixed-up fountain drinks.
#53765
Care to share any of these? They sound interesting.
#53766
I accidentally got something like this: At a local pizzeria, I was able to get a soda that tasted just like stale bubblegum by getting a "shot" (IE I just tap the fountain) from each drink from left to right, then right to left, etc. (repeating on the ends, which were diet coke and Hi-C tropical punch) until full.
#53767
My (Beta Maxis') British stepfather orders his pizzas and Subway sandwiches with EVERY TOPPING THEY HAVE. We can tell which is his by the weight.
#53768
I do that a lot too.
#53769
ThisTroper finds that 3 quarters of a lemon lime drink (IE: Sprite), and 1 quarter cola (IE coke) tastes absolutely fantastic. Usually works better when you get from bottles than fountains, though.
#53770
My family calls these mixtures "hairy buffaloes," and my sisters do this fairly often, usually with lemon-lime and pink lemonade, although at least a dozen other mixtures have been tried.
#53771
This troper used to drink half Mountain Dew and half Orange Slice in college almost exclusively - about seven years before Live Wire came out.
#53773
Nothing that dramatic, but this troper's drinking habits have gotten some startled reactions... he's perfectly fine with neat liquor or nearly so, and tends to pour... generous... measures.
#53774
At the Boston-area SF convention Arisia 2009,
I met the Boston-area Barfleet crew: a group of local congoers who throw wild parties. Their drink of choice? The Yukon Torpedo, affectionately "Y.T." One part Yukon Jack, one part Peppermint Schnapps, and one part grain alcohol. Of course, they wouldn't tell me that part until I'd downed one...
#53775
Later in the evening, a friend and I found ourselves desperately in need of a drink; but the party was shutting down, so they were out of Torpedoes. So they mixed up a "Phasers on Stun." One part absinthe, one part Bittermeister, one part Jaegermeister.
#53776
Have we met? I go to that one every year too, and I'm the one who posted the recipe for Rocket Fuel(a very popular drink at Arisia) on the main page. This last year, me and one party host discussed making it with ''ginger beer'', but that still hasn't come to pass.
#53777
Sci-fi convention room parties are ''notorious'' for their attempts to create these. I'm surprised the glasses at Norwescon don't melt with some of the stuff Biohazard and Cult of Backula whip up. Biohazard favors Everclear. Cult of Backula favors Jager or slushies made with Everclear. The Gnomes have home-brewed mead, and the Merchants of Deva's {{Tron}}-themed party had something called "de-rezzed" - couple glasses and you ''would'' be.
#53778
This troper was at a party where everyone was playing Truth or Dare. The birthday girl was dared to drink a drink that two others would make. I don't know the exact ingredients, but it included tomatoes and chili sauce. She almost threw up after a sip, her best friend actually did throw up (I think) after smelling her breath, and I wasn't brave enough to smell her breath.
#53779
For your own sakes, never put salt in water, stir it a bit, add sugar, stir that up a bit, and drink it. Don't.
#53780
This troper does precisely that every time she is having stomach issues. 2 quarts or liters *potable* water, 7 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, mixed till everything is dissolved makes a great re-hydration drink. Some people like to flavor it, I find it unnecessary.
#53781
For anyone who wants to avoid the SchmuckBait themselves, it tastes kind of like strongly chlorinated water and a hint of... blue. Not "blue" as in the delicious Slurpee flavor, just... blue. Of varying shades across the tongue.
#53782
Tastes like blue?... You might want to look into a condition called Synesthesia.
#53783
This troper is confused. He just did it and had no reaction other than the standard 'wow, it's possible to make my tap water taste worse than normal afterall' face.
#53784
From the Head of Happy Psycho:
#53785
My brother occasionally makes drinks from week-old Coke and Irn-Bru. And sells it. People like it.
#53786
I've also had a mix of 7-Up, Irn-Bru and Blackcurrant cordial.
#53787
This genius here once, on the urging of a friend, created a brew that said friend termed "Super-ade", which consisted of Mountain Dew, a spoonful of sugar, a generous dollop of honey and about a dozen pixie stix. The resultant concoction was... interesting. I could only manage a sip or two before the pretty colors started.
#53788
This Troper's personal version of this was to take three of the large pixy stix (the ones in a plastic container about the length of one's arm, and a finger-width wide), mix them into a liter of freshly opened Mountain Dew (best results came from cherry stix in Code Red), and chug the result. The mixing has to be done carefully, or half the bottle will turn to foam in about ten seconds, but the result... tastes horrible, looks either like Code Red or algae-filled water (depending on which Dew and what Stix wee mixed in), and is usually too much sugar for one person. I can't even drink them anymore, because neither caffeine nor sugar gives me a rush any longer.
#53789
I also was known for taking Nestea lemon iced tea mix and making it with slightly different proportions than normal. My usual rule of thumb was "Fill 1/3 of the cup with tea mix, add water, and stir." The result was more like syrup than tea, horribly strong, and yet very good at the same time.
#53790
Also, mixing garlic powder and chocolate in water tastes ''nasty''!
#53791
One of the best aversions ThisTroper has ever seen was when a friend was challenged to a beer-chugging contest, not knowing that his drink was massively dosed with really strong Caribbean hot sauce. The guy not only ''won'' the chugging contest, much to everyone's amazement (we'd tried the stuff, it was ''very'' strong, and he couldn't normally chug worth a damn), but in response to the dropped jaws, he made the comment "Yeah, I tasted the hot sauce, but it was just white boy hot sauce." (This was the whitest guy you'll ever meet.) He didn't pay for a drink for the rest of the night, and got the rest of the bottle.
#53792
This Troper used to do a lot of mixing of sodas back when he was younger, but the most disturbing thing he ever created was something known as "Rocket-Ade". The primary ingredient was a candy known as Rockets, ground into a powder and mixed with water. The resulting drink produced a thick head of grey foam that was still sitting at the bottom of the glass over an hour after the drink itself had been finished.
#53793
Not particularly alcoholic, but if you dropped the abomination that is Vodka and Tang into the primordial ooze you'd probably evolve SATAN.
#53794
Back in the 80s, a local SF convention was widely known for the drink menu served in the con suite. (Free, alcoholic, and I never heard of anyone carding ....) I never heard what their recipes for Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster or Diamonddraught were, but I do recall the Purple Pterodactyl -- one part vodka, one part triple sec, one part sloe gin, one part grape juice concentrate (just thaw the cardboard canister, don't dilute), and club soda to the drinker's taste.
#53795
A local GargleBlaster kind of drink is called the "Terminator", and consists of a few drops from every kind of alcoholic beverage available at the bar in question. Because of the chemical mixtures involved, this turns out to be a brownish liquid with flakes in it, and drinking it causes the victim to become violently ill very quickly. Predictably, it has been outlawed, and some of the above may or may not be exaggerated.
#53796
Probably rather exaggerated. A student orchestra I played with keeps a bottle of "Unspecified". The last twenty milliliters or so from every liquor bottle gets emptied into it, and people actually drink the mixture at parties. The bottle of Unspecified is never allowed to go empty, and thus contains some fraction from every bottle of liquor the members have ever drunk in the orchestra's fifty years of existence. I never dared trying it myself, but none of my friends seemed to get ill from it - or not more ill than you would expect from the alcohol anyway. But yes, it is brown and looks rather disgusting.
#53797
As with the top of the page, likely the Terminator has Baileys in it, which probably spoiled.
#53798
One of This Troper's friends has a friend who brews various meads for the SCA. One of the most famous is Pixy Stick Mead, which is flash-fermented and combined with said sugary candy. It's been described as "liquid stupid."
#53799
This troper makes sweet mead at home. Last winter the heat went out in the garage where the fermenter lives, and one batch of mead formed huge chunks of ice, which I removed and threw out. Since only the water freezes and all the alcohol remains behind, this had the effect of partially distilling the mead. It's still very sweet and tasty, but one wineglass of it has been known to make strong men giggle and fall over.
#53800
It's fairly well known that you can make chili vodka by putting some chili peppers in a bottle of vodka and leaving it for a while while the flavour (and the heat) percolates into the alcohol. This Troper has taken it a step further into the bizarre, and made Sichuan pepper vodka. It's a vile orange-yellow colour, smells delicious, tastes delicious, produces a strange tingly sensation on the tongue and then ''makes your mouth go numb'' within a few seconds of drinking it.
#53801
This troper once had *9* Long Island Iced Teas over the course of about two and a half hours. Results: Two hours of being very happy, 10 of being violently ill, and about two days to fully recover. [Also note that I weigh 290 lbs, and smaller folks trying this might end up in even worse shape.]
#53802
This troper likes to experiment with vodka infusions. After making a rather nice vanilla infusion, she reasoned thusly: I love Dr. Pepper. I love vanilla cola. I will love Dr. Pepper with vanilla vodka in it. She...didn't. Some combination of the alcohol, vanilla, and cola produced a giant glass of something like carbonated cherry cough syrup. (The vodka was really good in Coke or Pepsi, however.)
#53803
She also made a habanero infusion that, after the initial tasting, she herself only used as an ingredient in marinades. At a party, a friend decided he was going to get drunk on Caesars made with it. He says the next day he was miraculously free of a hangover, but his digestive system was grumpy for a week.
#53804
It's not miraculous. Vodka doesn't contain the chemical that causes hangovers.
#53805
This troper spent many of her college days determining how well various non-alcoholic substances mix with Rose's Lime Juice. Tastiest: ginger ale (a.k.a. the Freddy Bartholomew). Most surprising: tonic water (makes your teeth ache for an hour). Most pointless: cough syrup (nothing, ever, makes cough syrup better).
#53806
This troper's personal gargle blaster is a half-bottle of bourbon or corn whiskey, preferably overproof like Virginia Lightning or Fighting Cock. Binge drinking? What's that?
#53807
This troper has a friend who works in a bar. She absolutely hates it when, during a particularly busy period, people just stand there and say, "Um, surprise me!" when she could be serving someone who actually knows what they want. She retaliates by mixing a drink composed of all the worst-selling drinks, which apparently also serves as a way to get them drunk enough so that they won't come back later that night.
#53808
This troper was once given a bottle of something mixed from "British wine, whiskey and fresh cream". It actually tasted better than it sounds, and deceptively mild to boot. Hilarity noticeably failed to ensue the following morning.
#53809
This troper had a friend who made a drink referred to as "green death." It consisted of Mountain Dew, the Wal-Mart brand Dr. Pepper, powdered Gatorade mix, Red Bull, lemon-lime concentrate, and a splash of scotch if he was in the mood, chilled and served in an empty SoBe bottle. It had the consistency of pond sludge, tasted like pure fructose, and bestowed an unbelievable energy rush on anyone brave/foolish enough to drink it. This troper had a sip and swears he heard the Starman music from on high.
#53810
This troper's buddy once mixed several brands of orange juices/orangeade/Sunny D all in one big cup. He proclaimed it to be diabetes in a cup. This troper on the other hand, just likes mixing V8 Splash juices with Sprite or 7up.
#53811
Part of this troper's "if-I-can-get-a-game-of-''{{Paranoia}}''-going" scheming includes fitting an R&D vehicle with a hard liquor dispenser that produces these. The current notes on the sole drink it produces... well... the smell will be described as "crude oil, death, and feet" when the Inevitable Button Mashing results in its production.
#53812
This troper has a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster random generator program for his ZXSpectrum emulator. Most of them seem quite vile.
#53813
This Troper once drank a a large mug of a mixture composed of of salt, sugar, water and straight lemon juice. The results:
stomach cramps.
#53814
ThisTroper recalls, from his days in the
SCA, a liqueur called "Startwinkle" (or, when describing its effects, "Startwink*thud*"). While he never tried it himself, it was apparently ''much'' stronger than its mild taste suggested.
#53815
A certain bar in York used to serve the "Hellshot", an ounce of special reserve absinthe mixed with an ounce of rectified spirit, with an alcohol content of ''nearly 90%''. For those not keeping score, this is a single mouthful of drink with the same amount of alcohol as two pints of beer. It's also strong enough to be volatile, so a non-trivial amount of alcohol gets absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the lungs if you drink it slowly. The mild hallucinations it sometimes causes are believed to be psychosomatic, since absinthe with active levels of the hallucinogenic component is illegal in the UK. Perhaps wisely, there was a strict house rule that nobody was to have more than one of these in a single night. It was banned by the city council but its ingredients ''weren't'', leading to an obvious work-around by customers.
#53816
This troper once had to drink a particular cocktail called "Moco de Chango" in some bar in Monterrey, Mexico. The whole thing was served like this: A mix of equal parts of vodka, rum and tequila, and some other stuff that has been already forgotten, and flamed after serving. And it must be drank with a straw in a single suck. When I ordered it, every one of the friends that accompanied me were astonished, to the point that once the drink was delivered, everyone in the table was staring at the shot glass until it got empty. Strangely enough, this troper only had a slight headache the next morning.
#53817
This Troper fondly remembers a discussion with a friend over MSN where we decided somehow that "Falcon Punch" would make an excellent name for an energy drink. We discussed the recipe for a while and came up with: 1 Can of Monster Assault, 1 Can of Diet Monster, 1 Can of Jolt, 2 cups orange juice, 1 cup fruit punch, and 3 of those 5-hour energy bottles. He mixed it together in a container and had a glass. Apparently it results in a
Knurd-like state of hyperawareness, my partner-in-crimes brother unwittingly took a sip and acted like he was high. The original recipe also included Tabasco sauce, but we could never balance it correctly to make it only yield a spicy aftertaste and not taste like crap. Much enjoyment was had until we opted to invent it's evil alcoholic older brother: Warlock Punch. For this we formulated: Half a bottle of Everclear, 2 cups pomegranate juice, 2 cups grape juice, 2 cups cranberry juice, and 5 5-hour energy bottles. Soda Water for fizz or dilution optional. Neither of us had the guts to try the stuff, so our Canadian friend did the honors and mixed the brew up in a bucket. Then he drank the whole thing. Allegedly, Warlock Punch is quite delicious and simultaneously energizing and intoxicating, rendering any drinker of sufficient quantity apparently insane. However, drinking an entire bucket acts like a powerful laxative that makes everything burn like the flames of hell on the way out.
#53818
YonTroper invented a GargleBlaster called the Doom Chug. You start with a carton of chocolate milk, and add a slug of barbecue sauce, three chopped habanero peppers, a quarter of a bottle of maple syrup, one mashed potato, a raw egg, a few grammes of breadcrumbs, a bottle of ketchup and half a container of ranch dressing. Garnish with Cheerios and a broken-up cheese-and-onion crisp, give a good shake, and chug. It tastes horrible.
#53819
Strangely, two of my friends have their own variations. One (the Death Chug) uses Coke as the base instead of chocolate milk, and substitutes a bottle of Tabasco for the peppers. The other (the Doom Gulp) has no mashed potato, uses marshmallows as a garnish instead of the Cheerios, and has the addition of tomato juice. I'd have to say that the Doom Gulp is the tastiest of all the three GargleBlasters we've made. No, we don't do drugs!
#53820
This troper would so drink that, but only without the ketchup.
#53821
This Troper doesn't drink, but discovered a delicious nonalcoholic GargleBlaster in search of a good sore-throat-and-stuffed-nose remedy. Take a tequila shooter glass, fill it 3/4 of the way with Louisiana hot sauce (the brand I had at the time was like Tabasco, but hotter except for the aftertaste), fill the rest of it with 2 parts molten honey and one part lime juice (lemon if you like it less bitter), add a bit of salt for flavor if you don't have a sore throat. Mix it with a toothpick before the honey regains its normal viscosity and swallow as much as you can in one gulp. Not only does it taste delicious (I'd drink them all the time if not for the damage done in the past by drinking hot sauce), but it also clears up a head cold within minutes.
#53823
There is a drink that this troper has yet to taste, at a bar near where I live. It's composed of tequila, vodka, whiskey and if I remember right, another distilled beverage. Put straw on it, light it on fire, drink before your straw melts.
#53824
This troper's mom has a lovely stew of turkey chili, navy beans, cheese, sour cream, tuna, and croutons. It's called Sewers of Paris. If you saw it, you'd know why. However, it's so delicious that it's impossible to not go back for seconds.
#53825
In November 2008, this troper and a friend created a concoction from almost the entire contents of a liquer cabinet, it was green so was thus named "The Green". It's now November 2009 and this troper found the bottle half full of the remains of the Green. Except it is now brown.
#53826
Long ago I was sitting in my room and decided to mix some stuff together to see how it tasted (I was 14 or 15 at the time). I mixed orange juice, water, a Listerine Breath Strip (those little mints that dissolved on your tongue), and something else. It ended up tasting like apple (which is weird since there wasn't any apple in it) with a mild mint taste. About a year later Kool-aid came out with a flavor that tasted exactly like it, so in a way, I accidentally invented a Kool-aid flavor.
#53827
(Same guy as above) Every time I go to Taco Bell I mix Mountain Dew Baja Blast and regular Mountain Dew, which tastes like regular Mountain Dew with more lime flavor. Just recently Mountain Dew came out with Distortion, which is regular Mountain Dew with more lime flavor. I think I'm going to start getting patents on all my weird drink creations.
#53828
This troper was babysitting her next door neighbor (who was in kindergarden at the time). We were playing with a toy chemistry set (the kind with the baking soda and color tablets that you just add water to), and she got thirsty. Her mom was in the computer room not far from the kitchen, so we got her permission to mix something up. We cleaned out one of the beakers and mixed over half a beaker of Hawaiian Punch, a little less than a 3oz Dixie Cup of sugar (that is not all the way diluted into the drink), and a top-off of tap water together, then put it in the fridge for a few seconds. We named the new concoction "Giggle Juice", because it made our teeth hurt so much that we had to smile and laugh some. The next morning, my acid reflux started to work up. I am never doing that again.
#53829
This troper once asked for a drink at a cocktail bar made of equal parts pineapple juice, coke and rum, since he liked them individually. The result was pretty good, even though it looked like marshwater. Afterwards, he tried to do it himself at a party, and found that it tasted slightly less succesful, meaning that I drank most of the contents. Next morning, head in toilet ensued.
#53830
This troper once drank a concoction of Vodka, Cranberry Juice, Orange Juice, and Lime Juice in one of those tall glasses. Oddly enough, the bartender SOMEHOW managed to get each sticky ingredient to settle in the Vodka, one on top of the other. He called it "The Trafficlights of Hell". I think it should of have been called, "Hello and Goodbye Mr Braincell".
#53831
This troper and his friends make one of these almost every time we drink. We mix juices, sugar, and tons of different types of alcohol to produce a sometimes-horrible sometimes-great drink. The worst was when we mixed one up with Absinthe, Everclear, Jagermeister, cranberry juice and a bottle of orange Pedialyte I had left over from a nasty flu. It actually didn't taste too bad and none of us had hangovers the next morning.
#53832
This troper did this several times as a kid; from as tame as lemon juice in Dr. Pepper (It was damn good) to as insane as a handful of Sweet Tarts dumped into a small cup of water (It tasted horrible, but didn't make me sick). I've yet to pull off anything as insane as some of the other ones mentioned here, though once I'm old enouch to drink, I might have something more interesting to tell.
#53833
There's a tradition, at least among the U.S. Air Force, of the "Dining-In." Part of this event is a concoction called a Grog Bowl. Depending on local instructions, there are various degrees of alcohol in said grog bowl. Many places will have two grog bowls, one with alcohol, one without. The entire point of the grog bowl is for it to be a Gargle Blaster. During the event, people are sent to the grog bowl for violating the rules of the mess, for instance, bringing work matters up during the event.
#53834
This troper's specialty salad dressing. Mix equal parts olive oil and red wine vinegar. Add a more vinegar. Mix with Dijon mustard until it's just barely pourable. Guaranteed to clear up a cold with one bowl of salad. This troper is desensitized to vinegar and dijon as a result. For even better results, add a little horseradish.
#53835
This troper learned the hard way that caffeine has terrible solubility in soda unless the soda is heated. Cue the creation of a primitive (this was 1989, before even Red Bull was widely available) energy drink involving Mountain Dew, a couple of No-Doz finely powdered, and the kitchen stove. What resulted was a thick syrup that had to be reconstituted either with more Mountain Dew or with plain old club soda (to bring back the fizz), but it had between five and eight times the caffeine of regular Mountain Dew and would be enough to power an entire night and a good chunk of the next day. Eventually we just moved on to amphetamines.
#53836
Beta Maxis mixes root beer, any and all available Mountain Dew flavors, grape, and orange soda. Cherry coke sometimes enters the equation. It is BITCHIN'!
#53837
For one fateful late night drinking session, this troper created the Bloody Hot Mary, a drink made from the usual ingredients of vodka and tomato juice, but the tabasco sauce was substituted for a special liquid made by boiling the cores of two Scotch Bonnet chillies in sugar water for about 30-45 minutes. The resulting drink has been described by friends as "like molten lava that makes you drunk."
#53838
While visiting a friend who was away at college we attended a frat party. At one point I wandered into the kitchen to witness someone being dared to drink a pink, frothy concoction that had just come out of the blender. I have no idea what was in it (I do remember someone mentioning that there was vodka and fruit punch involved, but other than that no one was really sure what was in it), but the brave soul drank it. It was passed around, I was already drunk so I refused, but it smelled like it would put hair on your tongue.
#53839
Non-alcoholic version: Instant coffee "sweetened" with ''corn syrup''. It tasted like welding smoke smells.
#53840
This troper's friend told her about one she'd heard suggested, called the Strawberry Surprise. Ingredients? 1 part grain alcohol and 1 part ''pepper spray''. Yep. To use her words, "Tastes nothing like strawberries, and everything like ''hurting''...
#53841
This Troper's friend recently tried, ForScience, a mixture of Pickle Juice, Mirin (Japanese sweet cooking rice wine), and a splash of hot sauce that he had resulted in the quote, "It makes the roof of my mouth burn. ''You don't have tastebuds there.''" The end result was said to "taste like heartburn." It should be noted that he has been known to enjoy drinking the other components, in sips, on their own.
#53842
This Troper once attended a fetish Alice and Wonderland themed party where the bar was serving a drink called the Red Queen. I don't recall what it was comprised of, but afterwards you felt like she'd had you beheaded.
#53843
This might not count, but a favored dare drink at this troper's older brother's fraternity is a shot of vodka, set on fire, dumped into a beer, and chugged very quickly.
#53844
Sounds an awful lot like a drink known as a Flaming Dr. Pepper: a shot glass is filled about 90% of the way with amaretto and topped off with high-proof liquor, set on fire, and then dropped into a pint of beer to fizz up the beer. The resulting mixture has to be consumed fairly quickly and apparently tastes very much like Dr Pepper.

This Troper created a drink called The Screaming Crackwhore. The story behind the drink is that at some point at a cast party - around 3 am - someone asked if someone could make them a Screaming Orgasm, despite their inability to remember what was in it. I wound up playing bartender and did my best to follow the directions I was being given by four people. Somewhere along the line - due to a combination of my own intoxication, the argument over just what WAS in a Screaming Orgasm and a lack of proper ingredients, I wound up making something somewhere between a Screaming Orgasm and a Three Wise Men out of vodka, bourbon and rum. As a shot it was awful. But put in a highball glass, topped off with Coca Cola and stirred... it became good. Very good. So for want of a better name, since we took something nasty and made it good with Coke... The Screaming Crackwhore.

This troper decided to try wasabi tea after hearing it being mentioned in said 8TV advertisement in the main page. He found an old pack of Wasabi in the darkest depths of the refrigerator and boiled it with a Lipton tea bag. It didn't taste too good, and ruined his appetite completely.

HackerOnHacker was staying in a lodge on the Amazon river in Peru, and took a trip with some of the other travelers to visit a shamaness who had lived her whole live in a stilted hut in the river. She had made some sort of medicinal alcoholic concoction and gave the jug for the visitors to pass around. It was an eye-burning, amber-colored fluid with herbs floating about in it. The guide advised everyone only to pretend to sip it due to its potency, and all of them did.

This troper once drank a whole bottle of Everclear, mixed with shots of Bacardi and Brandy afterwards. The predictable happened...

Here's a good one, and easy to make too. The Bear Killer: Take a shot glass (unless you're brave) and fill with 50% tequila, 50% whisky. Add too much tabasco. Drink!

This troper and her equally stupid friend created an unholy terror called Country Mouse and City Mouse. It's half a glass of red wine mixed with half a glass of screech moonshine. She wouldn't recommend it.

This troper is teetotal, but he did once dissolve an entire pack of fruit Polos in about half a litre of hot water (or at least he dissolved as much as would dissolve in that much hot water, then removed the undissolved stuff) and drank the result. He was unable to single out any of the individual flavours, and was only able to say that it tasted of fruit.

This troper was once staying in a hostel in Prague with a restaurant/bar in the basement which specialized in pop-culture-titled novelty drinks. The menu included an actual "Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster", which included shots of raspberry juice, absinthe, Absolut Vanilla and others (Goldschlager would make sense), garnished with slices of lemon. Even got a member of our group who'd opted to stay in his room for the night to come down to the bar, as he's a big Douglas Adams fan. This troper (whose liquor-holding ability varies pretty wildly from night to night) faired all right with it, although a number of his travelling companions, who are ''Irish'', were floored by it, hurling uncontrolably (including ''out of an upper-story window''), or both.

This troper is sometimes referred to as a "beverage alchemist"- because he lacks a golden touch. One of his more memorable failures included a combination of vanilla, baking chocolate, confectioner's sugar, and minced serrano peppers in apple vinegar. This mixture, inexplicably, ''looked'' delicious. As for the flavor? One of this troper's friends remarked "It tastes like kerosene. Lit kerosene."

Confectioner's sugar is cut with corn-starch, which tastes ''terrible''. That's why you either use it lightly or bake it in something.

What this troper has fermented in the name of science projects is likely outright illegal. One of his more notorious concoctions is made with three parts plums to one part brown sugar. Let it ferment in a glass jar for a few months. Unseal occasionally to release the gas build-up. The end result is highly aromatic and can put down a veteran drinker with an Irishman's liver with two shots.

Five Oreo cookies + Wasabi paste + ketchup + stovetop-melted Marshmellow Peeps = Bitches' Bile (perfect for roommates in a really dim room! Guaranteed to make your friends spewgle!)

A friend of mine once returned from visiting relatives in Ireland with a bottle of
poitín, and proceeded to make Long Island Iced Teas with it in place of vodka. Descriptions of the effect of two of these ranged from "aaaaaargh help" to "fnrg blrgf plzbrt guhhhh".

This troper invented a drink consisting of tequila and ginger beer, called a "Mexican-Jamaican Detente". It's called that because the less pleasant aspects of each somehow cancel each other out, making it ''very'' smooth. The first time I tried this, I had a few too many, and ended up having a freak-out usually only possible with powerful psychedelics. You know that ''MrShow'' sketch "Druggachusetts", where at the end TomKenny starts freaking out, and coming out of his clothes? Yeah, that was me!

Non-alcoholic version: Cranberry and grapefruit juice. Tastes great, but the heartburn is murder...
#53861
Chinese Herb Teas, what happens when you combine the strongest herbs and boil it to a dark bitter drink. The perfect punishment for this troper.

A company of Marines who were deep in Iraq when it was really hitting the fan over there came up with a drink to honor their fallen comrades, most of whom were killed by improvised explosive devices. Called, the IED, it contains a shot of 151-proof rum (shock), a shot of Jaeger (smoke), a shot of Goldschlager (fragmentation), and a shot of tequila since most of their members were Hispanic. Mix well and try not to scream. Personally, I failed this last objective.

Cheepest, 40 rubles (1,5$) for 0.7 litres "port-wine" and cheepest, most terrible alcoholic carbonated "cocktail" called "??????????? ????" (Grape's Day). Mix 1:1, drink and get drunk almost instantly. But the hangover is utterly terrible.

The Grog is an old military tradition. Every grog is different, because unit commanders all pour in ingredients that represent their individual units and mix them all together. To cap it off, that Grog is usually mixed in a toilet bowl. This is done in an over the top, highly ceremonious fashion.

Two words: Four Loko. Holy Mother of God, Four Loko, and I didn't even drink it besides one sip to see how it tasted (answer: like Red Bull with a worse aftertaste)! Right after it got banned in our state my roommate bought a bunch of them to try, and the results were epic and the hangovers the worst that crowed of experienced drinkers had ever experienced. They banned it for a reason.

This troper's friend once accidentally drank a mix of vodka, mountain dew, and some other drink I can't remember the name of by accident, when she realized what she had drank, she gave a quick "Oh shit." look to me, roughly six minutes later, she was ''

Fairly vanilla compared to a lot of these, but: this Troper and some friends had won a pub quiz and received free shots as a result...there was a bit of a mix, but a few were this vile mix of vodka and Irn Bru...which was somehow cloudy and tangible. Another time, a friend and I couldn't find anyone to pitch in for a pitcher of Long Island Iced Tea...so we just had half each in a pint glass. Then this: -> '''Friend''': Should we strawpedo this? -> '''Me''': Erm, OK...one two, three, go! -> We do. -> '''Friend, after finishing''': Dude, you actually did it! I only did it because you did it! -> '''Me''': What?! I only did it because ''you'' did it!

This tropette once had twenty shots of Four Horsemen in a row without even feeling drunk. She threw up twice, but remembers the whole night clearly and made it home on her own two feet at about six o clock in the morning, going about life as usual that same afternoon. The only unfortunate side effect of the bender is that the boss of said nightspot has placed a ban on ANYONE but himself serving her alcohol and has been known to place her on strict "fruit juice only" moratoriums at will. ... Oops. (She is also notorious for her coffee orders - quad venti espresso with six sugars, keep 'em coming. Once again... boss has been known to veto her coffee and give her fruit juice instead.)
