The Velvet Brain Hammer

Well, I think HNT has been at the top of this blog long enough. And, as it's Friday just before quitting time (here on the US east coast), I figure this post is rather appropriate.

This is a drink I've concocted, much to the delight of many of my friends. It is rather simple to make, best done by the pitcher, and even comes with a warning. The warning is this:

This drink lives up to its name. It goes down smooth, but will smash your brain to jelly.

The recipe:

1 750mL bottle of rapsberry vodka

1 40 oz bottle of Smirnoff Ice Triple Black. If the 40 oz bottle cannot be found, 3 12 oz bottles will do (you won't miss the extra 4 oz).

1 bottle of rapsberry Tropicana Twister (I've tried other juices for this, and TT is the best yet, though substitutions can be made if necessary - just stick to rapsberry or some form of generic berry - fruit punch is a bit too sweet, I've found).

Combine in pitcher with ice. Drink.

Enjoy! And by all means, please let me know how you like it.
