Well hit the big 25 today. What a waste, another year closer to death. Getting older sucks, quit getting money and shit; instead a hug/hand shake and a happy birthday.
So decided some drinks were in order, but fuck $6+ tax a piece at Applebees.
First you need the stuff to make the sweet and sour mix.
Next take 1 cup of water and two cups of sugar. Bring to a boil and let boil about 5 min. In the mean time cut up some lemons and limes and juice them. I used 2 lemons and 2 limes and got 3/4 cup of juice.
Once the simple syrup has cooled a min mix in the juice. I put mine in a jar and then put the jar in a bowl full of ice to cool it quickly.
Next you need the liqra. Vodka, Rum, Gin, and Triple Sec. Some people add tequila, I personally think it taste like a ash tray so I didn't. (plus Applebees doesn't and thats what I was going for)
Now take 1/2 oz of each liquor and put it in a glass to mix. Add in 1.5-3oz of sweet and sour too your taste. I like 1.5 oz so it isn't too sweet. Throw in some ice and shake/stir. Top off with some Coca-Cola (again to taste) and enjoy!
FYI: There will probably be drunken posting later
