A few imbibables are described in threads on Margaritas, Gramma's recipes and elsewhere, but there is no specific thread.
Posts to Mudcat indicate a rather high degree of imbibition, and there should be some interesting recipes.

Here is one from Alberta:

STUSH
A must at Hutterite weddngs

26 oz pineapple juice
26 oz orange juice
1 cup lemon juice
Boil together 5 minutes.
Add 4 cups sugar and 5 cups water.
Cool, then add 26 oz vodka.

I have a note from a Hutterite lady that it can be frozen, but perhaps this means the juices without vodka.

Hutterites in Alberta were immigrants from eastern Europe; among themselves they speak a Low German.

Try a No-see-ums -- 1/2 ounce of overproof dark rum in a glass of Guinness. Named for the oldest building on Grouse Mountain, where I invented it.

recipes? I mostly drink stuff straight now....

But I did discover that mixing Irish whiskey with Irish Mist, or Drambuie with NON-peaty Scotch can be very nice...


(when I was young, I mixed odd fruit juices, then added Gin...it tasted TOO good.)

Get a bottle of whisky, the lethal sort- you can easily tell it, it says I SLAY on the label. Mix with more whisky, from the same bottle. Drink slowly accompanied by good conversation. Repeat as necessary.

Whisky Mac

One part reasonable blended whisky (we use Famous Grouse, but we're snobs)
One part Stone's Ginger Wine

Over ice in a short tumbler

Particularly good on one of those damp winter days it feels like you will never feel warm again.

Also a great way to use unreasonable blended whisky, such as Johnnie Walker Red Label, that otherwise tastes like kerosene.

Johnnie Walker... oh dear...

Mention of Red Label reminded me of Four Roses and Black Velvet, which were cheap whiskies which could be found during WW2 when better stuff was unavailable. Four Noses and Black Death were their nicknames.
Now, both seem to have a better reputation, often used in mixed drinks. Four Roses even has an expensive blend called Single Barrel and is now owned by Japanese Kirin.
I also remember a Lord Calvert.

"...Johnnie Walker Red Label, that otherwise tastes like kerosene. "

LOL... I once startled people in a movie theater when I shouted "Yes, yes!" at the point in "Mr. Roberts" where he and the doctor are trying to 'make' Scotch, and someone suggested adding a bit of turpentine.
   I had been claiming for several years that cheap Scotch tasted like turpentine!
