I Can Make That! The THG Drink Menu

The drink list below is admittedly incomplete, but we're trying to make it, uh, more complete all the time. It's also something we've been compiling with the help of outdated drink references, so your hip, new drinks (like the "Panamanian Strongman" or "Gateway to Pornography") aren't likely to appear. If you have a favorite drink recipe that's not on our list, send it in and we'll credit you on the site. If you don't see it below, do what we do and search Webtender!

Odals-Campari
(named after a farmer's district in Norway called Odalen)

Ram your face into a brick wall (this drink requires a nosebleed).
Hold a glass under your nose long enough to get the right color,
(10 fl. oz.?) the same color as a Bloody Mary is about it
Get your hands on as much moonshine as you can, it kills the pain, too. Mix it with the blood in the glass, and there you are.

Tequila Sunrise
1 1/2 oz. Tequila (your preference)
1/2 oz. Grenadine
Orange Juice
The idea of this drink is to pour it so that there are recognizable layers. You must pour it very gently or the ingredients will mix together and ruin the effect. Pour Grenadine into a tall glass and then place ice cubes into the glass with ice tongs until full. Then gently pour in Tequila, then Orange Juice. It should go from bright red to deep orange to light orange. If it doesn't, it's probably because you poured it too fast, so don't blame us. Garnish with a slice of orange, and then stop worrying about the layers and serve it or drink it. – Submitted by Wes Griggs
