Smashing Pumpkin Recipe

flaming-pumpkinHere is how you make a smashing pumpkin.  Since its that season for pumpkins we thought this would be a great alcoholic drink to make!

1/3 oz Kahlua® coffee liqueur-  Kahlua is a rich, dark brown coffee liqueur made from the finest Mexican coffee, with fine cane spirits and a hint of vanilla. It also contains sugar, corn syrup and vodka, and has a thicker body than most other alcoholic beverages.  Kahlua is the 2nd largest single liqueur brand worldwide. Although it wasn’t introduced to America until 1962, it’s history dates to pre-WWII.

1/3 oz Bailey’s® Irish cream-  Bailey’s Irish Cream is a unique irish spirit made from a mix of cream, sugar, cocoa and the finest irish spirits. Each bottle of Bailey’s is 50% fresh cream, combined with triple distilled Irish Whiskey. It contains no additives or preservatives, and has become the best known irish cream in the world since it’s initiation in 1974.

1/3 oz Goldschlager® cinnamon schnapps-  A clear swiss cinnamon schnapps, containing 24 carrot gold leaf flakes.

TIP:  Add a dash of everclear, bacardi 151, or any other flammable alcohol and ignite to create the flaming smashing pumpkin shot – it helps the shot taste a bit more like hot pumpkin pie. It also looks impressive for parties or at the bar. Don’t forget your Zaca!

Does Coffee Really Make You Sober?

a_small_cup_of_coffeeThis was actually a great little video MSNBC.com put on.  They conducted an interview with Rally Bartending School in North Carolina. 

Did you know what the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states would take to reach the 0.8% alcohol blood level?

-Men at 170 pounds would have 4 alcoholic drinks in 1 hour to go over.
-Female’s at 137 pounds would have 3 alcoholic drinks in 1 hour to go over. 

Did you know that 8% of alcohol is absorbed in your mouth?

The foods to stay away from are starches and carbohydrates because they help speed the absorption.  Another note is never go an drink on an empty stomach this also assists in hangovers.  The best foods to eat while drinking are proteins and fats.

opening-bottle-in-celebrationTo really help a hangover you need to use several different kinds of methods.  For example if you just rely on vitamin B12 to help your hangover then the chances of getting a hangover will be less.  When you take vitamin B12 and combine that with vitamin C and Taurine for example your likeness of getting a hangover is reduced by a lot!  Why is this?

Drunk Story! 2 Hours Time Traveling!

box-wineFirst Impression Box Wine Shame

 

My fiance and i went over to his friend from work’s house for a cheap wine/bad movie night.I was excited but a little nervous because i was meeting him and his wife for the first time and since i was still tired from staying up til 4am for my friend’s 21st.After the 4 of us went out to dinner, we cracked open the box wine, listened to some music and then put in THE LAST DRAGON.After checkin out the recording room,playing some wii, smoking a few cigarrettes and attempting a magazine crossword puzzle drunk, we were shown the guest room and went to bed for the night.i was drunk but not sick or too drunk)

The next morning, i felt a little silly becuse i had realized i had probably talked too much the night before but i didn’t feel that i had made an ass of myself or anything.

After getting in&out, grabbing our stuff and saying good bye, My fiance slowly began filling me on on some details that i had missed that evening..

Even though i remembered what i thought had been the entire evening,There was 2 crucial hours missing from my memory that had happened mid evening.

Not only had i been talking to his coworker’s super sweet and slightly shy wife the entire night, i guess i kept invading her personal space as well.

My fiance told me that i kept getting REALLLY close to her face and at one point in the night while admiring how she did her make up i told her to close her eyes and proceeded to trace her make up lines with my index finger. Since she’s so sweet she just put up with it. To make matters worse, my fiance kept trying to tell me “hey babe….you’re touching her face..” And i would stop, turn around a second and say Oh i am? oh i’m sorry! then instantly forget what i was told and proceed with what i was doing

I also kept asking her to have a drink with me(i had picked up my wine glass again evidently) and she kept telling me no. no thankyou, i’m fine. so i’d say oh ok. and then ask her again like 5min later.

When we went out into their back yard i remember leaning over their pool and asking if it was heated.
What i didn’t remember was plungling my arm into the water like a bear to test the temperature.

After abandoning the pool i was distracted by this bizzare fruit tree that was hanging over the back fence and then muttering something about soil nutrients i picked two of the bizare fruit and shoved them in my purse and then asked for a cigarette from the shy wife.

After being told that not only does she not smoke she doesn’t like the smell, i was given a cigarrette by my man and as she stepped back i kept stepping forward, unaware of what i was just told.it was a slow,sltealthy chase around the back patio i was told.

Eventually after digging through my ipod and putting on music that you can oly enjoy drunk, i picked up the magazine on the table and then my memory returned.(that’s when i attempted the crossword puzzle.in pen.)

Keep in mind that this was my first encounter with these two people!

I have been embarrassed the whole day since that car ride home! Especially since i am one of those people that don’t get drunk that often and on the occasion that i do, i RARLEY get carried away.

(only 2wice before; once for my friends 18th birthday where i spent the morning puking to david bowie with only half of my pants, and then once at my going away party where i woke up the next morning to find a giant avocado in my sweatshirt pocket)

I guess that they were laughing and after reading some of the stories it could’ve been worse, but unfortunatley i feel that that is the first last and only time we are getting invited over there again. What sucks is up until those two crucial hours, we were all getting along great. I guess sleep deprivation and box wine is the equvalent of acid. WORST FIRST IMPRESSION EVER!TERRIBLE!
