Hey Dyl, I hear you and the boys are working the bar at Synergy! I thought I would help you guys with a sick festival recipe, a little one for the ladies too, because I know you okes dop the hard shit, and, obviously the long tom Bavaria Draughts π We had some interesting festival cocktails find their way through our home base a few weeks back, some good and some not so good…I must say, myself and a small team had two days to fend off the ever growing thirst and had to battle with some really low quality drinks coming out of the actual cocktail bars at the venue ! We actually had peeps leave their drinks with us and wonder off with our own mixes β amazing really !
So here is one of the mixes the girls might like and even the die-hard drinkers on that final day, struggling in the sun for something to quench the thirst and keep the vibe ! Seeing as we could not take any glass into the venue, we decided to pre-mix our cocktail into juice boxes and simply pour our mix as we needed it. It worked out great for that Sunday hangover and for the gals it was a definite winner. Here is the recipe for the girls which is technically a sex on the beach, or you could say in the apple orchards, it might be a bit more comfortable π
One For The Squeezer’s:
Ingredients:
4x PureJoy orange juice boxes β 1.5L I think (from any spar or pick βn pay)
1x Btl Vodka ( you could also upsize your bottle to 1L if you like)
1x Btl Peach Schnapps
Method:
Mixing is easy as, just take your juice and decant about 500ml from each carton, this will give you and three mates a healthy glass of OJ before you set off on your binge and then split your vodka and peach schnapps into quarters or just pour out 3 fingers worth into each carton. Try and mix evenly for consistency. Then take your grenadine and add just under 2 fingers into each carton, this can be to your taste though so the sweet tooth people can put a bit more but I wouldnβt put too much as the peach schnapps is quite sweet already.
Put the lid back on and just shake and pour over ice at your leisure, it really is refreshing in the sun after a heavy day/night drinking match ! Now obviously this might not be the way to start the party off as itβs a mellow way to spend the day drinking and I thought of giving you guys something a bit stronger to warm you up on the dance floor.
For The Deeper Alchies:
It made me think of a drink myself Action & Dangerous (The Millers) used to get at the bar on many stomping occasions, and, obviously trying to get more bang for our buck!!! At the bar simply order in the biggest glasses available packed with ice for optimum coldness π Now here is the one for the lads, Because I know you okes drink like bergies…LOL
Method:
1x Smirnoff Storm Quartet ( yes this is the strongest drink available in a dumpy bottle at the moment β 7% alc. cider second at 6% alc. and beer last at a mere 4.5%-5.5% alc. unless you have those Bavaria Knockers by the case )
Simply split the storm and mixer over the 3 vodkas and presto, jet fuel !
If you donβt have the budget for the bar then go to the nearest bottle store and get all the ingredients.
This is also a winner in the sun but I must warn you it packs a mean kick ! I think we called it a sand storm if Iβm not
mistaken, it has been a while β prob as far back as Joti Sidhu, Skazi and Eskimo’s live performances in the Cape. Enjoy boys and have a good couple Bavaria shotguns for me and Dyl you better organise me that ticket for New Year’s, seeing as though you do need a cocktail barmen for the annual Christmas Party π
legend Mr Cape Town – the caption on the first pick ends me Tho ! also you need to add 1 dry lemon into the Sand Storm mix ! so 1 storm 3 vodka and one dry lemon split between 3 glasses !
aweness -get open at Synergy, see you soon
add the dry lemon into the mix
