Southern 7
09.28.08 | None
Originally, this drink was supposed to be another random “choose my fate” drink, where a couple of my friends pick an ingredient each and I have to take it. Without knowing what the other person picked, they chose Wild Turkey, Southern Comfort, ginger ale, and pomegranate juice. Unfortunately, I got stuck trying to order this at an unnamed chain restaurant that really likes one day of the week and has random crap all over the walls. This meant that they didn’t have 3 out of the 4 ingredients. So not wanting to let anyone down, the drink became Jim Beam, Southern Comfort, 7up, and grenadine. The bartender himself walked the drink over to me, smiled, and said, “This just smells gross.” Success.
Once again though, I was disappointed. I’m supposed to be the person who takes the really gross or high proof (a lot of alcohol) shots and tells everyone how horrible they are and how I vomited from my nose for a week. You would think this shot would do just that. But, it actually tasted pretty damn good for how much alcohol was in it. It tasted like a sweeter 7 and 7 in shot form. Nothing harsh there. Hell, I would even take it randomly outside of being a dare shot. It was a disappointment for my odyssey of “dare drinks,” but I did find a new shot for the regular rotation and one that I’m pretty sure nobody has ever taken. Add this one to the books and try it out. I think that with the substitutions made by that god forsaken restaurant, it’s actually easier to have the ingredients laying around than the initial shot. I might try the initial shot and add it as an update, but I can’t imagine it tasting much different.
Anyways, for those who care about the night’s story, after Satan’s stripey tabled restaurant, we found some random ass bar that is literally behind a pizza place in a parking lot that actually was pretty cool inside. It looked like a dive bar from the front, but further back there was a dance floor, a DJ, and all types of lights. Weirdness. We met up with a birthday party from my friend’s work and got pretty much destroyed, except my driver, who had an interview for personal training the next day. My after party consisted of laying on a girl’s lap in his back seat because I was too tired to sit up in the car while he drove her and her friend home, possibly doing unspeakable things in the front seat (I kept my head down… face up. Perverts). Puke level 0. You guys better give me some harder ingredients or more drinks. I’m starting to worry…
