Bottom Shelf Mixology: The Apple Mountain

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".  


The Apple Mountain(Mountain Cider High)

  • 1 oz Fleischmann's Vodka
  • 1 oz Store Brand Citrus-Flavored Soda
  • 1 oz Great Value Sugar-Free Apple Flavored Drink (prepared)
  • Ice

Start by putting ice in your shaker.  Add the vodka and apple drink.  Shake exactly six times.

Strain into your glass, and stir in the citrus soda.

Drink until you feel like you're on top of a mountain. 

Be careful though, the hangover the next morning will make it feel like you are under that same mountain.

Bottom Shelf Mixology: Cooler's Revenge

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".  


Cooler's Revenge (Amaretto Cooler)

  • 2 oz Amaretto
  • 3 oz Diet Cranberry Juice Cocktail
  • 2 oz Tangy Citrus Punch
  • 1 Lime Popsicle (melted)

Get a tall glass, set it down, and talk to someone for 20 minutes.  Pour in the amaretto, and talk some more.  Follow this pattern with the rest of the ingredients, then stir them together for a few seconds.  This whole drink that would normally take 2 minutes to prepare should end up taking you an hour and twenty minutes.

Put on your Goku pants, and drink.

Repeat for as long as you can stand.

Bottom Shelf Mixology: Wasp Nest

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".  


Wasp Nest (Stinger)

  • 1 oz Fleischmann's Whiskey
  • 1 oz 99 Peppermint
  • Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

The Wasp Nest is a rather straightforward recipe.  All you need to do is put the whiskey and peppermint schnapps(is the 99 brand schnapps?  I guess I don't really know what to call it, so we'll stick with that) in your glass and mix it up.

If you want the full force of drinking an actual wasp nest, add the optional red pepper flakes. 

On a somewhat related note, when I was in Kindergarten, I got stung on my tongue by a wasp after inadvertently eating it.

That's all you get of that story for now.  You'll have to check out the video for this recipe when it hits YouTube to get the rest of the story.

Bottom Shelf Mixology: Danger Death Ray

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".  


We are getting ready for an upcoming filming of some new Bottom Shelf episodes, so I am taking this break from RiffTrax to give you our first new recipe!

Danger Death Ray (Party Cannon)

  • 2 oz Crystal Palace Vodka
  • 1 oz Midori
  • 1 oz 99 Bananas
  • 1 Lime Popsicle (melted)
  • 1/2 can Store Brand Zero Calorie Energy Drink
  • 1/4 tsp Blue Curaçao
  • Ice

Put your ice in the shaker, and add the vodka, Midori, 99 Bananas, and the melted popsicle.  Shake well.  Add in the energy drink and the curaçao, and gently stir.

Drink one, maybe two to get the party started and your heart rate racing.  Any more than that, and you might just feel like you were blasted by an actual death ray.  Especially the next morning.

Pop-Pop's Gourmet Popcorn Tour


The fine folks at Pop-Pop's Gourmet Popcorn in Midland, MI, invited us to go and take a tour of their facilities, so of course we said yes!

Unfortunately, we had some equipment malfunctions, and the only audio that was recorded was what the built in microphone on the camera picked up.

Bottom Shelf Mixology: Love Dump

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".  


Love Dump
  • 1 oz Fleischmann's Vodka
  • 1 oz DeKuyper Hazelnut Schnapps
  • 1/8 tsp Imitation Vanilla
  • 1 Fit & Active Lemonade Drink Mix Stick
Put a few cubes of ice in your shakes, and pour in the vodka and hazelnut schnapps.  Shake slowly for 13 seconds.

Open the shaker and add in the imitation vanilla.  Without shaking the mixture further, strain it out into your cup.

Shoot it back, and then eat some of the lemonade mix straight out of the tube like Pixy Stix.

The original drink is supposed to taste like chocolate cake.  This version will most likely not.  It will probably taste more like what the song Love Dump (Static-X) is about.

Bit of trivia for you:  WCW Tag Team Kronik used a version of Love Dump for their intro music.
