Clamato
Prune juice
Combine vodka and vermouth in cocktail glass. Fill remainder of glass with

1/2 oz. bourbon
1/2 oz. gin
Sweet-and-sour mix
Splash of fruit juice
Combine vodka, tequila, rum, bourbon and gin in a tall glass. Fill
remainder of glass with sweet-and-sour mix and splash of juice. Stir, then

and vow not to believe anyone who tries to tell you the hurricane that flooded
your garage and destroyed your shed was just a Category 1.
============================================================
CONE OF PROBABILITY
1 oz. cinnamon schnapps
1 sugar cone
Pour the schnapps into the sugar cone. Every time you hear a TV weatherman
say, "cone of probability," bite off the end of the cone and down the shot.
If you hear Jim Cantore say it, drink two shots consecutively. (they
should change this to the "Cantore Zone"... damn him. Have you ever noticed that,
despite all the cone of probability talk, if Cantore is parked in front of
your house your butt is toast?)
============================================================

drink through a straw.

where it belongs.

how the heck you're supposed to go two freakin' weeks without television
and AC.

Serve in a 6-ounce glass and laugh-cry deliriously as the mess spills all
over the countertop.
============================================================
COLD SHOWER
2 oz. Blue Aftershock
4 oz. Sprite
Combine in a cocktail glass with crushed ice you received after waiting in
line for three hours at a mall parking lot. Take a deep breath, sip and
scream like a little girl when the cold beverage hits your tongue.
Repeat.
============================================================
LOOTERS WILL BE SHOT
1 oz. Jack Daniel's
Splash of sarsaparilla
Rock salt
Load both barrels of a shotgun with rock salt. Climb to the roof of your
house with gun, bottle of Jack Daniel's and can of sarsaparilla. Fill shot

crap out of him.
============================================================
BLUE TARP
1 1/2 oz. Curacao
2 oz. pineapple juice
Splash of lime
Combine ingredients in a leaky paper cup and serve. Wait six to eight
months for someone to repair the cup. If you're impatient, hire an
unlicensed, out-of-state contractor to do the job for an exorbitant sum
and pray he doesn't hurt himself in the process.
============================================================
FEMA FIZZLE
1 oz. Southern Comfort
2 oz. sloe gin
Tonic water
