Budget Bartender
« on: April 06, 2010, 09:18:56 PM »
One of my previous jobs, on and off for 25 years, has been bartending at a realatively high-end restaurant. To say the least since my unemployment adventure started my tastes have not changed but my budget definately has. Tonights creation was the discount white russian which consisted of:
-left over coffee from this morning
-mocha coffee creamer
-milk
-a butt load of cheap vodka
All I know is it tasted decent and maybe this should be my new career. The budget bartender? any other recipes you can think of?

I do have a few but I can never remember what went in them.  Usually Ice-cream and rum I know for sure, sometimes whatever fruit is available and honey if I have some.  Next time I knock something up I'll itemise the ingredients.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

Well, daiquir?, caipirinha, mojito, etc can be very cheap as long as the alcohol source is inexpensive but this isn't very inventive I guess.  :-\
Anyway I'm posting to get other members suggestions.  :D

When I went to France for a school trip when I was 16, we tried to make screwdrivers but had no orange juice or vodka so we used orange drink and rum.  We never noticed the difference. :D

Sure!! I've seen some girls that weren't used to drink passing out with this one. 
Tang and Rum: even has a catchy name.  :D

Me and the guys one time in the locker room were doing Canadian Mist and 7-Up.
 Another is what we call a Sledgehammer ( and it hits you like one too) Sweetened iced tea and Jack Daniels.

 One of my faves ( from the early days) was called a Purple Martian,,Md 20/20 , grape coolaid and a little everclear.
 WHo cares if it tasted funky,, after a glass your taste buds didnt work anymore anyway.

What we called a Pain Killer was a little more expensive,, we got some Everclear,, and poured it over tinned fruit with some Sprite and a little beer.
Man,, that took the pain of living right away from you lmao.
I keep my standards low.
That way im never disapointed.
