Bottom Shelf Mixology Episode 10: Chunky Piña Colada

Welcome to the Bottom Shelf Mixology™ video series!  Our staff of Mixologists have decided it would be a good idea to actually test our special "bottom shelf" recipes.  What have we done?

This week on The Bottom Shelf, we tried out the Chunky Piña Colada, our take on the classic drink.  We expected this one to be not terrible, but we were let down in a surprising way.


You can find this recipe and the rest of the reviews and recipes from the Bottom Shelf right here.

And hey, don't forget, we started a Patreon!  Support us and buy us a drink!

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.

Bottom Shelf Mixology: Cadbury Eggnog

Welcome to Bottom Shelf Mixology™!  We have racked our brains (and our 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".  

Cadbury Eggnog

• 5 Cadbury Creme Eggs
• 1 5oz. container Plain Yogurt
• 4oz.  Barton Light Rum

Start by cutting the ends off (about 1/4 of the egg) of each Cadbury creme egg, but do not eat or discard.  Scoop out the creme filling and put it in a bowl.  Add the container of plain Greek yogurt and the rum to the bowl and mix thoroughly.

Re-fill the empty chocolate eggs with the resulting mixture.  Crumble the ends that you had cut off, sprinkle over the top of the new filling, and serve!

Don't be surprised if you wake up two days later from the resulting sugar coma.

Bottom Shelf Mixology: Jersey Mojito

Welcome to Bottom Shelf Mixology™!  We have racked our brains (and our 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".  

Jersey Mojito

• 2 oz. Barton White Rum
• 2 oz. Mint Schnapps
• 1 can store brand diet lemon-lime soda
• 1 handful of sugar packets 
• Ice

A normal mojito usually only has about ten percent alcohol by volume, but that isn't enough for a true Bottom Shelfer.  To kick things up a notch, we will be using mint schnapps instead of mint leaves.   Pour in your mint schnapps into a tall glass.  Add the contents of some of the sugar packets, and stir.  Put in a few ice cubes (you don't want to fill the glass with ice, because you want to be able to pour in as much soda as possible).  Grab your bottle of Barton Rum that you have left over from the Chunky Piña Colada, and pour about two ounces into your glass.  Fill with your diet lemon-lime soda.

This drink is best enjoyed in Richland, New Jersey (also briefly known as Mojito, New Jersey).

Bottom Shelf Mixology: Chunky Piña Colada

Welcome to Bottom Shelf Mixology™!  We have racked our brains (and our 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".  

Chunky Piña Colada

• 2 oz. Barton Light Rum
• 1 - 8 oz. can of crushed pineapple in syrup (heavy or light)
• 2 oz. coconut milk
• 1/2 cup ice

It's time to enjoy that most wondrous of all tropical drinks: the piña colada!

The rum, coconut milk, ice, and the syrup from the can of pineapple all go into a blender.  Mix well.

Pour the pineapple chunks into your glass.  Then, pour the contents of the blender over the chunks.  Stir well.

We suggest eating this one with a spoon.
