New Year's Drinks

[GottaGo]

This is kinda short notice, but I'm wondering if anybody can help me. My girlfriend put me in charge of picking the drink of choice for our new year's eve get together. I'd be happy just sipping on something simple (like a beer), but she wants something fancier and more festive (not champagne though...) Anybody have any ideas of what I should do? Thanks

Vodka Redbulls... or Bacardi Limon with Monster energy drinks. (It's called a limonster!) They should keep everyone awake til midnight at least anyways

Lymon and 7 is pretty good.

Can't go wrong with the Captain.

White Russians (Vodka, Kaluha and Cream)

Or if you really want fancy, how about a few bottles of Boone's Farm Orange Hurricane.

Its a girly drink- but Midori Sours are good.

Midori melon liqeur, sweet n sour mix, and a splash of 7Up.

Jameson on the rocks.

or

Good beer (still simple, still fancier)

Somebody mentioned Midori sours, amaretto sours are another option.

We are making "Grasshoppers".

This is how we make'em: Creme de menthe; Creme de Cacao; and vanilla ice cream! mmmmmmmmmm!

Plenty of booze for the guys and the women think they are tasty. Perfect for an after dinner treat.

Crown Coke tasted really good last night!!!!

[maros91]

Can't go wrong with a Colorado Bulldog or a EJ 7.

[bassNspear]

EJ 7.

Cant say it better myself!!!!!

We even had a Brandy Alexander lastnight as well!

XO... VSOP... or reg EJ ?

Personaly I am a VSOP guy, but the XO is great for a "beer and a bump"

[bassNspear]

Im a fan of VS, thats it. XO is good for a sipper, but just going out and having a few, im a VS guy! (brown lable)

WOP

I realize I'm late for New Years, but my wife has been on a martini kick.

Chocolate martini - 1 part vodka, 1 part coffee liqueur (kalua), 1 part Irish Cream (bailey's)

Shake that up on the rocks and pour into a glass with the sides drizzled in chocolate syrup.

Chicks seem to really dig that drink, they are pretty tasty but you'd never catch me ordering one in a bar.

Some other good martini's are the dirty, lemon drop, pomegranite, and cranberry just to name a few. Recipe's are pretty easily found on the web.
