Bottom Shelf Mixology: After Dinner Mint

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".  

After Dinner Mint

• 1 pkg Hot Cocoa Mix (from that gift box that your aunt gave you for Christmas)
• 6 oz Tap Water (lukewarm)
• 1 1/2 oz Arrow Spearmint Schnapps
• 1 oz Fleischmann's Whiskey
• 1 sick Freedent Gum

First, you are going to need to empty the hot cocoa packet into a large mug.  Then, measure out lukewarm tap water.  Just turn on the faucet, and as soon as the water starts feeling warm, measure out your six ounces.  Don't let it run and get hot either.  Add to the mug, and stir.

Next, add in your spearmint schnapps and whiskey, and stir a bit more.

Finally, garnish with a stick of Freedent gum.  This can be any of the three flavors, but spearmint is recommended.

This drink is the best way to wash the taste of any meal—delicious or disgusting—out of your mouth!

Bottom Shelf Mixology Episode 15: The Red Tide

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, join me, the Unpaid Intern Eric, and our guest Paul as we go ridin' the Red Tide.

And once again, we made something not terrible.


Check out the recipe for the Red Tide here.

Bottom Shelf Mixology: The Red Tide

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".  

The Red Tide (Sex on the Beach)

• 2 oz Burnett's Cranberry Vodka
• 2 oz Peach Schnapps
• 3 oz Tang
• 2 oz Jellied Cranberry Sauce

Pour the tang and cranberry sauce into a blender, and blend until mostly smooth.

Pour the vodka and schnapps into your glass, and then add the contents of the blender.

You can mix the rest of the cranberry sauce with more Tang, and it will stay good for about a week.

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).
