She drinks a vodka drink...
Owing to my limited bar selection, I had to come up with a new mixed drink tonight--but it turned out really good! Especially for weak-assed people like me who don't like the taste of alcohol.

MIX:

Equal parts:
sugar-free peach drink (generic version of Crystal Light)and
light orange juice

with
1 oz. (or however strong you'd like to make it) vodka

I served myself in a 12-oz glass on ice, and I'm on my third one.
:)

3. Damn vegans...
Yup...big AR folks, that Chumbawamba. Also, as I recall, big advocates of sharing music, etc.

Typical, though, you know...

6. Crystal Light is the best mixer I've ever tried
I go to parties with this, and I drink it, even though I don't drink hard liquor anymore (the aforementioned excluded).

Good stuff. Good.

8. Dang, I'll have to try some new combos. I bet the Raspberry
Crystal Light would be a really good mixer.

When you say you "go to parties with this," do you mean you make the same drink, or that you use Crystal Light mixes generally to take to parties?

11. Neither.
One person I work with throws a few parties a year. It is her genius that taught me about Crystal Light as a mixer; it is a favorite at every party she throws.

I just bring expensive beer, so as not to be shamed... :)

:hi: :hi: :hi:

9. I would do 4:1 on the peach:orange, but it sounds good!
I'm not a big fan of screwdrivers, so I'd lighten up the orange; but I wouldn't want just peach and vodka, either, so I'd make sure to have some orange in it.

A dash of cranberry or pomegranate (pommegranite? Pomagranate? Pommegranate?) juice would make it exciting, too.

10. Yum, cranberry sounds good. I love Cape Cods
(weak ones, mind you!) but didn't have any cranberry juice.

I'm not a fan of screwdrivers, either, but since mine is light OJ, it's not so harsh. With regular I'd definitely take your advice. :)
