My friend Brian got promoted yesterday to Assistant to the Regional Manager or something at his job. I got invited out to celebrate with him in all of his Dwight-esque glory. I ended up miraculously being the only person taking the shot celebrating his promotion. Apparently, he had a women’s literature book club meeting to get to early the next morning. That and something about bleeding, but I try to let things like that slide since lady business is none of my business. I’m classier than that.

The night started off with black lights and pink balls. A bunch of us met up and went neon mini-golfing, which I had no idea existed. This place had been a laser¹ tag arena, batting cages, 18 and under club, and a few other things. It’s basically a doomed location for poor business ideas. We met up and unknown girl from the Sangria Razz post was there and in my golfing group. Mystery solved on who she is. Of course, everyone had their own way of making neon mini-golf more exciting. I opted for pre-fading some vodka and a low-carb Monster, while Brian and a couple of his friends just brought some beers with them. We ran around trying to play and I got pretty good at throwing golf balls straight into the hole.

Once we had severely dented each other, as well as multiple permanent installations to the mini-golf course, we all went to Satan’s stripey-tabled restaurant to grab some drinks. Brain decided to create my first 151 shot and I went with it. Later on, I found out that the restaurant from hell doesn’t have 151, so technically this isn’t a 151 shot. Is there anything they do right? This shot was done with intentions of 151 and it had 101 proof peppermint schnapps in it, so I’m including it in the 151 Days of Christmas anyways. My blog, I win and you get a new drink to try. In case you have never tried peppermint schnapps, it’s like drinking really minty mouthwash. This shot tastes almost exactly like straight peppermint schnapps, with a hint of sweetness. I think the mixers were a waste, but who am I to say anything alcoholic is a waste? That’s fascist speak and damnit if we didn’t fight two wars and prohibition to get rid of ideas like that.

Rant: (Because I can do these whenever I want to.) I just went to buy a new battery for my damn car that broke down two nights ago and the store I was trying to get to had a cop barricading the entrance. I thought that was weird, but I drove on and tried to turn in behind the parking lot so that I could swing around and into the other side. I approached the next street and there were two police cruisers blocking that street and talking to a bum. Just then the roar of a helicopter flew overhead, followed closely by a second. I was intrigued and really wanted a new battery for my car so I can drive to Las Vegas tomorrow, so I rounded the neighborhood, spent 10 minutes trying to pull into the parking lot, and finally snuck in behind a policeman moving his car barricade. I drove through the parking lot and counted around 25 police cruisers and at least 50 policemen on foot, as well as the two helicopters that kept circling the area. I got inside the store to buy my battery and found out that they were all chasing some guy who had run into the store I was in earlier and ran out. Nobody knew what they were chasing him for, but 50 cops on foot, 25 cars, and 2 helicopters? He definitely wasn’t stealing windshield wipers. But, he did steal an extra hour of my time and I hate him for that. You better get caught for inconveniencing me alone. Ass.

¹Thank you spell-check. I almost wrote “lazer” and would have died a little as a writer if I had let that one slip.

Ingredients

1 Part: Rumple Minze® Peppermint Schnapps
1 Part: Malibu® Coconut Rum
1 Part: Jose Cuervo® Margarita Mix

Instructions

Mix the ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain into a glass. That or just pour some peppermint schnapps into a glass and pretend like there is other stuff in there that you can taste. Oh and there’s a sprig of mint in my shot in case you’re curious. Yes, more mint in the mint drink. Smart thinking.
