I don't know how many other bachelorettes know little about alcohol, but I fell into that category. My friends in their infinite wisdom, decided I needed to learn something about drinks. So...here are a few of my favorites-some strong and some are just fun!
1. Knock Your Socks Off--Long Island Iced Tea
1 part vodka
1 part 1800® Tequila
1 part rum
1 part gin
1 part triple sec
1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix
1 splash Coca-Cola®
This drink from a bar will put you on your way to being wasted. It is a light drink flavor wise...which means you drink it quickly and don't realize how much alcohol is in it. It is one of the strongest drinks available at the bar because of the multiple types of alcohol as well as quantity. Can't go wrong with a little Long Island Iced Tea!
2. Sending You Down the Aisle-Between the Sheets
1 oz brandy
1/2 oz light rum
1/2 oz triple sec
sweet and sour mix
Now personally, I have never tried this one...but look at the name! And with rum it just has to be good!
3. The Drink Men Love to Order-Sex on the Beach
1 1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz peach schnapps
2 oz cranberry juice
2 oz orange juice
K, so the name says it all. This is a girly drink but it is delicious and definitely will send you on your way if made correctly. A couple of these and you're hooked!
4. Bring on the...MUDSLIDE!
1 oz vodka
1 oz Kahlua® coffee liqueur
1 oz Bailey's® Irish cream
1 oz cream
Chocolate lovers unite! This creamy mix of alcohol and a milkshake will have you loving every sip. I especially like when the chocolate is strong...a little extra syrup never hurt, right?
5. And the big guy...straight liquor.
So, you really want to get wasted at your party? Drink the hard stuff. Things like a little Captain Morgan mixed with Coke or a shot of tequila starts the ball rolling. Try this fun mix.
4 oz Bacardi® gold rum
2-3 oz Bacardi® 151 rum
2 oz Malibu® coconut rum
Coca-Cola®
Not one to drink it straight? Get a few girly drinks and then go to town on the hard stuff. It doesn't burn as much and you get really messed up when you mix alcohol.
TIP: Do not mix beer and hard alcohol (rum, tequila, vodka, etc). This is almost always a surefire way to end up with your head in a toilet. Eat while you drink and switch it up with glasses of water to avoid hangovers. Oh and avoid sweets...this really messes with your body and often causes strong hangovers.
