Brass Monkey

We were listening to music one night and Beastie Boys Brass Monkey came on.

This is a drink and I found many different recipes. This is one that we tried:

Brass Monkey


1/2 oz rum
1/2 oz vodka
4 oz orange juice


Toss the rum and vodka together and stir gently. Pour in the orange juice, and shake well. Pour over ice in a highball or tall glass.

I'm not going to lie...IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!!!!

Seriously. I took one sip and almost gagged.

By the expression I made, B wouldn't even try it.

Defiantly not making this EVER again.

-Cheers!!

Lunchbox

How 'bout a shot. I remeber doing this shot often when I first got to go to bars. I remember I really liked it, but I don't remember why I stopped.

Lunch Box
3/4 bottle beer
1 shot amaretto almond liqueur
1 oz orange juice


Fill a glass almost full with beer. Fill the rest with orange juice (careful not to fill it to the top). Then take the shot of amaretto and drop it into the cup with the beer and orange juice.

We used one of those shot cups:

B was afraid to use glass...

We used MGD for the beer because that is all we had in our house. I'm not a MGD drinker but B is.

B did not like it.

E doesn't remember it tasting like this but maybe it's because it was made with MGD not Miller Lite.

E would like to try this drink again, but the proper way to do it with a higball glass and dropping the shot glass into the beer/oj mixture.

Cheers!!!
