Orange Creamsicle Kick (a drink for grown-ups only)

To begin, let me apologize for the lack of a picture. I thought that since this is just an orange liquid in a glass, a picture really wouldn't be necessary.

Not too long ago I was introduced to the combination of Red Bull and Vodka. It takes some getting used to, but after a few sips I found it to be rather good. I've thought about making myself one here at the house, but the only Vodka I have on hand is vanilla flavored and I haven't found much to go with it.

So, this past Sunday while I was looking around at Target I ran across some Jone's Soda Orange Energy drink. It appeared to be very similar to Red Bull but flavored orange. And that is when the light-bulb clicked on in my head and the Orange Creamsicle Kick was created.

Later that evening I mixed my Vanilla Vodka together with the Orange Energy drink and enjoyed. The vanilla vodka is somewhat smooth on its own and mixed with the orange it became even smoother. I didn't make the drink all that strong and I could barely taste the alcohol since the orange and vanilla went so well together.

Since it came out tasting so good, I think I will need to go back to Target and pick up some more of the energy drink. If you try this, please comment to let me know what you think.

Power of the Ori

So today I show my true nerdiness in the form of a drink. For the Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis Winter Season kick-off, I came up with this drink. Its a combination of blue curacao, sprite, and blavod (black vodka). The new villain for SG-1 are these guys called the Ori and so far their energy attacks have been blue so this seemed fitting.

what's neat about this drink is that the 3 liquids separate if they are poured in slowing on top of each other. This leads to a really cool looking drink. For actual consumption I suggest that it be stirred before drinking otherwise you would be drinking the blavod straight up in the first few sips.

This drink looked nice and it had a good taste.
