Xopher Reed Strange Brews: The Boilermaker

Posted by Xopher Reed On February - 6 - 2010   ZERO COMMENTS | 16 views

Huh, I had no idea where the term boilermaker came from until googling this drink this evening. Damn, I guess you work hard enough, you get a drink named after you.

Got beer? Got whiskey? Want to drink both at the same time without having to double fist it? Well you’re in luck because this week’s Strange Brews allows you to do just that.

mmmm booze

I had a chance while I was in Las Vegas this last weekend to try out some new drinks that I’d like to share with all my fellow whores. Tonight’s concoction is called a Tokyo Rose, and I’m sure there has to be someone out there who’s had one before…this was just my first encounter with the drink.

Nik Mortimer Strange Brews: The Zombie

Posted by Nik Mortimer On June - 27 - 2009   ZERO COMMENTS | 25 views
Seeing as it’s the Summer of the Dead here at Media Whore Network I thought we should dedicate this weeks strange brew to the Zombie.  The cocktail was originally created by Donn Beach in the mid 1930s.  It was named ‘The Zombie’ after a friend of Beach’s drank two and then complained about how he felt like a zombie after drinking them.  The cocktail that tastes so fruity it actually disguises it’s high alcohol content and can people drunk before they have even realised they’ve had a drink.  Today many of the establishments that make the zombie will only serve two per customer to try and stop them becoming drunk in short space of time.  Hit the jump to find out how to create this awesomely potent cocktail.

Ingredients:
1 measure dark rum
1 measure white rum
½ measure apricot brandy
2 measures pineapple juice
½ measure lime juice
2 teaspoons powdered sugar
Garnish: cocktail cherry and pineapple wedge
To make the cocktail simply add all of the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well, pour the contents into a high glass.  Garnish the top of the cocktail with the cherry and pineapple wedge, either on a cocktail stick or sliced and attached onto the side of the glass.  If you really want to give the cocktail an extra kick then top the glass of with more rum if desired and if your feeling fancy, light the cocktail for added effect. Once your happy with the result add a straw and enjoy.

Seeing as it’s the Summer of the Dead here at Media Whore Network I thought we should dedicate this weeks strange brew to one of my favorite cocktails, the Zombie.  The cocktail was originally created by Donn Beach in the mid 1930s.  It was named ‘The Zombie’ after a friend of Beach’s drank two of the cocktails then complained about how he felt like a zombie after drinking them.  The cocktail that tastes so fruity it actually disguises it’s high alcohol content and can get people drunk before they have felt they’ve had a drink.  Today many of the establishments that make the zombie will only serve two per customer to try and stop them becoming too drunk in short space of time.  Hit the jump to find out how to create this awesomely potent cocktail.

Xopher Reed Strange Brews: The Evil Dead

Posted by Xopher Reed On March - 28 - 2009   ZERO COMMENTS | 7 views

Much like this guy caught a shotgun to the face, you are cautioned to take it easy with these and for the love of Crom, don't light the motherfuckers on fire, please? The last thing I need is a potential lawsuit.

My hero, Bruce Campbell in his career defining role as Ash in Sam Raimi’s third installment of the Evil Dead series (better known as Army of Darkness) said this to his love-interest Shiela: “Don’t touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn’t understand alloys and compositions and things with… molecular structures.”

This is my exact warning to you, don’t touch this recipe unless you understand what the fuck you’re doing.

I’m serious, this shot can potentially kill/maim you in one of 2 apparent ways, either somehow you or your property catches fire and hilarity ensues, or you underestimate how much liquor is in these drinks and proceed to have one to many. So with all warnings aside I’ll share the recipe and how to make the bastards.

Xopher Reed Strange Brews: Die Führerbunker

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN!

Going off of the recipe for a Dead Nazi (cause we only know that the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi), this was suggested to me by a friend to signify all of the death that occurred in the Nazi party’s last hold out at the Führerbunker. You see kids, when WW2 was drawing to a close in the European front, Adolf, his wife Eva, The Goebbels (all 8 of ‘em including six children) committed suicide to avoid the horror that would come from being taken by the Russians.

Xopher Reed Strange Brews: The Dirty Martini

dirtymartini

It’s been quite the long time since anyone here at MWN has decided to put up a drink recipe, this all changes today as I re-implement our regular feature ‘Strange Brews’ where we try out drink recipes we learn and share them with you, our loving audience.

So, let’s get started shall we?

The dirty martini has possibly the strangest ingredient added that gives it so much flavor, in fact it gets its name from the fact that you use the leftover briny suspension liquid from a canister of green olives (you know the stuff you usually throw away once the olives are eaten). What makes it dirty is that you replace quite a bit of vermouth with the olive juice when mixing.

No, not the villain from The Inspector cartoons from the 60s but the delicious libation made famous by Tech N9ne on his album Everready. He describes in detail how to make this great drink that sneaks up on you thanks to the 151 rum contained within.

The recipe is very, very simple. No I didn’t copy it straight from the song lyrics (that’s good to make a whole jug of the stuff), but I’ve managed to break it down for you in a glass by glass recipe.

We here at MediaWhoreNetwork love promoting an unhealthy lifestyle. Life is just so much more fun when you cut loose sometimes. The best and possibly most sociable activity that does this and causes liver damage and brain cell death all at the same time is drinking.

Drinking is for sure one of the website’s favorite activities as you’ll see in the weeks ahead, so without any further ado, let’s cut the bullshit and get to some drinkin’!
