12 Drinks of Christmas: Jacked Frosty

Welcome to Bottom Shelf Mixology™!  Our staff of Mixologists have racked their brains (and livers) to come up with special "bottom shelf" versions of popular drinks, and some original creations that range from "oh, that might be interesting" to "that sounds absolutely disgusting".  


With Christmas on the horizon, we thought it would be a good time to start unveiling our new 12 Drinks of Christmas.  Between now and December 25, we will be unveiling our holiday-themed beverages (named after holiday characters) like some sort of twisted Advent Calendar.

Today we have a simple ice cold drink named after the ice cold character with a nose fetish: Jack Frost.

Drink 3: Jacked Frosty

  • 1 small Wendy's Frosty
  • 1 oz Arrow Peppermint Schnapps
  • 1 oz Crystal Palace Vodka
  • 1 tsp Powdered Sugar

Pour your peppermint schnapps and Crystal Palace into a glass.  Add in the Frosty slowly, making sure to stir it well

Finish with a sprinkle the powdered sugar on top to get that nice clumpy, dirty, snow from a freshly plowed road look.

12 Drinks of Christmas: Bah Hum-Glug

Welcome to Bottom Shelf Mixology™!  Our staff of Mixologists have racked their brains (and livers) to come up with special "bottom shelf" versions of popular drinks, and some original creations that range from "oh, that might be interesting" to "that sounds absolutely disgusting".  


With Christmas on the horizon, we thought it would be a good time to start unveiling our new 12 Drinks of Christmas.  Between now and December 25, we will be unveiling our holiday-themed beverages (named after holiday characters) like some sort of twisted Advent Calendar.

Today's recipe is based on everyone's favorite cheapskate: Ebenezer Scrooge.  That is why every ingredient should be purchased from the local Dollar Store/Poundland (aside from the alcohol, which you probably can't buy there anyway).

Drink 2: Bah Hum-Glug

  • 2 cups Sherry
  • 2 cups E & J VO Brandy
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Prunes
  • 10 Hot Tamales Cinnamon Candies 
  • 1 cup Water

Pour the water in a small pot.  Add the prunes, sugar, and cinnamon candy.  Put this on the stove and simmer until the prunes start to plump up.  Pour in the wine and brandy, and stir.  Let this mixture continue to simmer.

Once it is heated to your desired temperature, turn off the heat and drink.

This drink should be enough to warm even the coldest of hearts and livers.

12 Drinks of Christmas: Melted Ice Cream Bunny

Welcome to Bottom Shelf Mixology™!  Our staff of Mixologists have racked their brains (and livers) to come up with special "bottom shelf" versions of popular drinks, and some original creations that range from "oh, that might be interesting" to "that sounds absolutely disgusting".  


With Christmas on the horizon, we thought it would be a good time to start unveiling our new 12 Drinks of Christmas.  Between now and December 25, we will be unveiling our holiday-themed beverages (named after holiday movie characters) like some sort of twisted Advent Calendar.  Our first drink is named in honor of the latest RiffTrax Live show: Santa & The Ice Cream Bunny.

Drink 1: Melted Ice Cream Bunny
  • 1 2 liter bottle Diet Lemon-Lime Soda
  • 1 quart Store Brand Pineapple Sherbet
  • 1 fifth Barton Light Rum
Start by scooping the pineapple sherbet into a punch bowl.  Pour in the entire two liter bottle of lemon-lime soda over the sherbet.

Pour in about one quarter of the bottle of rum and gently stir.  Give it a taste test, and if you don't feel like it is enough rum, add more to taste.  Make sure to keep sampling the punch.  Eventually you will have sampled enough that you don't care what it tastes like.

This will make your party both holly and jolly, guaranteed*!

And if you're not careful, everyone will start singing.


*There is actually no guarantee.
