Well, my best advice is orange juice (yes I am serious, no religios missionaring here ) that really removes the taste of alcohol.

Actually, with 40% smirnoff vodka you can go 30% vodka and 70 % juice and not really taste the alcohol.(I did that the first time I drank) You probably need a bit more with 60% though.

[QUOTE=Locke Da'averan]have some 60% koskenkorva-vodka on the freezer and one doesn't need much of that to get the desired effect.. well except for magrus of course..[/QUOTE]

Never heard of it, but I've had Devil Springs Vodka, 160 proof, 80% stuff, and that is a harsh drink. It just burns drinking it straight, all the way down and the same in your stomach. Thanks for the vote of confidence with the drinking, I actually don't need a whole lot to get drunk, which is nice and saves money. I just end up being able to handle quite a bit and still be somewhat functional.

As to mixing what you have into a tolerable drink. I'm not quite sure, there are days I can tolerate just about anything you put in front of me, and others that I need a very smooth drink. The classic Screwdriver is always good, just use a bit more orange juice than normal with the stronger vodka. I've done that with the Devil Springs Vodka, and so long as you keep in mind it's twice as strong as normal vodka and adjust the mix of orange juice/vodka accordingly it's not bad.

I'm not sure what to tell you with other kinds of drinks if you don't have Cherry Coke. Soda really has a strong flavor and does wonders to cover up the taste of booze. If you have other kinds of soda, lemon-lime type flavor drinks work wonders for covering up vodka, the carbonation tends to mask the burn of the alcohol too. There is a drink recipe, I can't put the name up here because of the word filter on the site , but I can put the actual recipe up, and that vodka might work somewhat well with it.

1 shot being 1 ounce, or 30 ml FYI

1/2 shot of your vodka (the stronger the better really, it called for Everclear which is 95% alcohol or something close to it, Illegal in NY where I live unfortunatly, led to my using the Devil Springs Vodka)
1/2 shot Malibu Rum (any coconut rum will do really, Bacardi brand is stronger too)
1/2 shot Bacardi 151 Rum
1/2 shot Blue Curacao (Blue raspberry flavor drink)
1/2 shot Grenadine (cherry flavored drink)
1 splash(es) Sprite (lemon-lime soda in case you can't find it, some lemon and lime juice and sugar might work as a subsitute actually)


The drink is supposed to taste like Grape Kool-Aid with a slight kick to it. It's QUITE good for getting supremely trashed fast, but expensive to get everything for it, it ran my friend and I about $80 to get liter bottles of everything.

Another, milkshakes. I used about 3-4 shots of Cherry Vodka, which was about half as strong as yours, 3 scoops of strawberry ice cream, and instead of milk, a healthy squirt of Hershey's strawberry syrup and it was a very nice drink IMO. Horribly unhealthy to keep drinking throughout the night, but one is a nice treat.

Perhaps making a fruit shake in the blender might work? Short of that, there's always the "Jungle Juice" option. Cut up all your favorite fruits, toss them into a large bowl and fill with booze. Whatever you have works, the more types the merrier. You get munchies soaked in liqour then.

Cutting open a watermelon and sticking the neck of your bottle of vodka into it to let it sit upside down and slowly drain into the watermelon works too after tipping the watermelon out to drain the excess water/juice out so it will absorb the vodka.

For sour apple flavor vodka, slice an apple or a few, let them soak in a cup or container or vodka. It's important to see to it the apples are completely submerged, or they'll turn on you. Keep it cool and let them soak for maybe an hour or so and then you have a snack with vodka, and can shot the vodka thats left over that tastes like your apples.

Cherry juice might be something to add to your vodka too, I'm not sure how I'd mix that with another type of drink though, more of a thing for shots.

I hope that helps somewhat, I'm not quite sure what is available outside the U.S.

See here we are again!

Drinks, Drinks, Drinks, it's a whole forums of Father Jacks!

Aside from that I had a horrible day, and apparently It's my fault I'm failing Maths Irish and Religion (well I agree that its my fault for the last one)But my Maths teacher is really strange in his teaching methods and my Irish teacher has the shortest fuse ever, it's inpossible to learn anything.

This thread is an endless circle of Spam, drinks and fighting.......... And we love it.

Thats a shame Mccool, I've been there myself. Without a good environment in the classroom, and a good relationship with the teacher and a teaching technique that your compatible with, learning becomes incredibly difficult. It's quite frustrating to deal with.

That's awesome Mc, you take bilingual classes?

[QUOTE=Ideal Maxima]That's awesome Mc, you take bilingual classes?[/QUOTE]

Doesn't everybody?

You're not required to at my school. But that might be because I'm only in eigth grade... But everyone takes an English class. You can take another language as an elective, though. And I think the people who's first language is not english take an ESL (English as a second language) class. I can only speak english at the moment, though I want to take Latin in High school.

Magrus that idea for fruit and booze isnt called jungle juice if i remember right. Jungle juice is made in a bathtube and LOTS i mean LOTS of diff drinks. its like moonshine but with a bathtube. can cause blindness and the like. or the ever popular Screaming Jesus, or Purple Jesus. the first after drinking your screaming Jesus, the latter, you see a purple Jesus. i cant remember how to make them and its propable for the better.

hey Mc, dont feel bad im not doing good in my german class. its always good to be bilingual, helps to confuse the enemy.

Around here, we just use a big bucket or one of those sports coolers and toss a ton of fruit into it all cut up and dump a few different kinds of booze into it and stir and let it sit. Either way works, but the fruit makes it far easier to take taste-wise.

for a drunken master (like myself) you have no need for covering the taste. drink drink and drink some more. besides it worksout in the end you only really have to cover the first few drinks the rest can be fine

We always used a bottle of Everclear and two bottle of Kool-Aid.

that works aswell

I find its better if you use extra sugar though, otherwise,you might as well drink it straight, it will taste the same. I a Marguerita man myself when I'm drinkin something fruity. I like Cherry Margs.

It is to my deep regret that Everclear is illegal to buy in my state, I must go for a long drive to get a bottle of the stuff. I visited my brother at his college in ohio last year and the guys there made an Everclear punch, booze with orange, lemon and lime slices in it, it was QUITE good, and my younger brother was sucking it down like water. Everyone was hurting the next day though, cursing any source of light or noise in general and such.

You're in NY right? How far are you from a border? I may have some suggestions for you.

id like to hear these suggestions aswell. always need new ideas for keggers

Dead center of Lake Ontario and about ten miles south of the edge of it as a point of referance for you, the closest border is Canada, about 2 hours or so of driving. East of me, at least 6 hours to get into all those little New England states, and 2-3 hours south will take me into Pennsylvania. I believe 8-9 hours will take me into the closest state south of me I know of that sells the stuff unfortunately. It's not like the stuffs any worse for you than all the other types out there, it's just stronger and takes less volume to get you drunk. Better for you than cigarettes.

Wow.. that's a ways.. I could tell you how to circumvent the law, but that would be wrong. Other than that you could buy a lot of cheap vodka, build a still, and distill your own at low heat. Trust me, it's worth it.
