Oct 29 2009HORF HORF HORF: Halloween Brain Shots

First!

im not a fan of curdled anything... SECONDTARD

Vodka is gross. Ew.

These taste delightful! Although my friend was unable to get the brain to form so it was just vodka, lime juice and Bailey's.

@LSDiesel
TAKE THAT BACK!!! YOU'LL MAKE NAAS AND I CRY...

Here's one that lets you avoid the lime juice:

The Brain Hemorrhage
1. Shake equal parts Absolut peach vodka & peach schnapps NO ICE
2. Fill shot glass(es) 3/4 full.
2. Drizzle a thin stream of Bailey's onto the mixture.
3. Splash several drops of grenadine in the middle of the brain.

The fact that this one is to be served at room temperature makes it even more interesting.

Woodka -- ittsh whats for breakfast..

@5, I like most other kinds of hard liquors, but for some reason I find vodka to be really gross tasting. Actually, I'm kind of a wimp and like the alcohol taste of any drink to be masked as much as possible.

Sorry gentleman. I guess I'll be asked to renounce my testicles....

@8 I'll back you up on this one. We'll renounce them together.

AWESOME!!

I wonder how they look on their way back out? I'm sure I'll find out....

LSDiesel, cheap Vodka has a rough, harsh taste. The expensive stuff is distilled more carefully.

Chilled and distilled.
Brain cells will be killed.

Or you can stick to non-alcoholic vodka. Yummy.

The peach schnapps recipe is the best one. I have it every time we go to our aunts, who is a career drinker.

Delicious!

Screw the shots, I want that giant brain/vodka pitcher in the background!

@Dishy
"chilled and distilled, braincells will be killed" I think I know what I want engraved on my tombstone now...

But srsly folks, if you want a ladylike vodka go for Smirnoff Strawberry, 70 proof and served chilled is almost candy... Otherwise Kettle One isn't bad, I like Effen Vodka just cause its fun to say, Picaso ain't bad, but Chopin is something you can drink a liter of and still not get a hangover...

Great, now its 10:04 and I feel like getting slosh faced... naas, tip one back for me...

Gimme some brain! Gimme some brain!

Reminds me of the 'cement mixer' shot.

Narsty........wouldn't get that past my lips.

I know a variant of this cocktail.
And it is surprising good !

@Closet Nerd
That drink is fun to do to unsuspecting people...

I have a different version of the cement mixer though, every morning I juice a habanero with some carrots and tomatoes, I than put the burn out by swishing and gargling heavy whipping cream, the cream curdles in my mouth from the capsaicin much like a cement mixer... If you've never drank a juiced habanero I highly recommend it!

Now if we could just serve this from a shoe....

@19 a juiced habanero sounds scary.... and I LIKE IT!!!

@19, you could have had a V8.

This is what they drink on Alien Nation

I am so hungover and looking at those shots makes me want to horf horf horf

@11, I read somewere that you can get cheap vodka and run it through some charcoal, and it will distille it more, making it smoother.

I saw the title of this blog entry and thought "FINALLY!" Imagine my disappointment when I learned these weren't real brains.

I couldn't even comment on this post after Deez whipped out his vag @3 & made that statement about Vodka. Unsurprisingly Pat was right behind him(not literally I know but wondered)backing that blasphemy up.

Shame on you both, especially you @8 - you sound like a chick just before the roofie kicks in. I had to restrain STOMPY from turning on you both with a dinosaur rib(or fang) - just so you know

@8 Should you get a wild hair to give vodka another shot (groan worthy pun definitely intended), then try Stoli Vanilla w/ Coke. Not bitter, in fact kinda sweet tasting.

The hangovers, folks, have more to do with amount of dehydration than the type of booze you're guzzling. My tip...a bottle of water and a couple of aleve right before night night times. Will you feel GREAT the next morning??? NO...but then again you DID spend all night poisoning yourself. You WILL, however, feel MUCH better than you would have had you not topped off the tank with some good old fashioned water (also helps to pre-hydrate by drinking a bunch of water before a planned binge - which for me is easy...every day).

On a side note: I've heard that you can make cheap vodka taste somewhat better by running it through a brita filter several times. I have no idea if this works, as I normally just run the stuff through my liver several times to filter it right proper. Not to mention, I'm more of a jack & coke type of guy anyway (coke off to the side, in a bottle - so i can pour the coke out and use the bottle to pee in later so i don't have to take a break from the drinking to go to the bathroom...seriously, chicks REALLY dig it). Just kidding ladies!!!...most of you are passed out by the time I need a bathroom break anyway.

These actually aren't that bad tasting if you use peach schnapps instead of vodka. I like to refer to them as hemorrhaging brains.

That is true about the charcoal; the problem is that the specialized charcoal filters are more expensive than the bottle of Stoli Elit that you are trying to imitate. Unless you plan on distilling and filtering your own line of vodka, just buy the good stuff. @ 15 Good call, Ketel One is the best for the buck. Belvedere and Ciroc are a step up and really smooth.

@22
And just to let everyone know, Vodka, gives you the easiest to handle hangover... Jagermeister on the other hand, well, lets just say I puked all over my textbook that I needed that week to study for a final from... I sprayed it with cologne and turned the pages with tweezers... but, I did pass...

@31 For me tequila leaves me feeling like a million bucks!
One night a drank a whole fifth of tequila, took some asprin, drank a good amount of water, then woke up to go golfing the next morning.

Oh Tequila, I turn to you like a long lost friend
I want to kiss my Mexican Cousin once again
We'll cover every emotion from happiness to sorrow,
And the conversations I forget, you'll tell me about tomorrow
When the phone calls start, am I in bed or in a hearse?
The things you tell me about myself can't make me feel any worse

Well I'm awful sorry you got pissed
Just have to cross you off the list
Of my true friends...
And Tequila's where that starts and where it ends

Personaly I loves me sum vodka, but I prefer my good ol friend Jack. Never tequila it makes ma clothes come off. lol... I like this drink I made it at home for my roomates and we decide its going on the list.

I've had this! I've had this! It's fcuking disgusting! Don't do it! It fcking tastes exactly like what it is: Alcohol and then a big curdled fcking chuck of nasty-ass sh!t in your mouth that you have to choke down before your gag reflex kicks in and spews it all over the bartop.

so who's actually made this? i tried and when i add the bailey's it just sinks right to the bottom!

@35 Yeah, I'm having a Halloween party so this sounded like a cool idea. I tried it out tonight and the Baileys sinks right to the bottom. Any ideas anyone?

@37 Try pinching the straw as you take your finger off of the top. That way it'll come out slower. The brains look like a bunch of dollops of Baileys. And probably make sure the straw is below the surface of the drink before adding the Baileys.
Just my guess. I never tried the shot.

Ugh... yea, so I tried this and the Baileys just sinks. Now, the wodka wasn't chilled yet, so I've put it in the freezer for now.
I'm keeping the Baileys at room temp, because theory suggests that warm beverages float on top of cold beverages. I'll you know if it worked (unless ofcourse, it worked and I'm hammered because of that).

Hmmm, I tried it with chilled vodka and with a smaller straw. The Baileys still sinks...

soooo you actually use schnapps instead of vodka.

all other places tell you to use schnapps instead of vodka. the density of baileys is higher than vodka, which makes the baileys sink.

<3

Ho do you get the bailey's to float???? Mine won't...

Same for me. The bailey's is going straight to the bottom so it doesn't look as cool and it stays at the bottom when you drink it. Any advice?

What a let-down, mine sinks too. People at my Halloween party are not amused....

We used to make the same thing but in shot glass with peach snaapps instead of vodka (IT FLOATS BETTER) . It was called a brain hemmorgae and we would drink one and then a beer and so on and so on....well you get the idea

using more grenadine seemed to help as well..

ooohh looks yummy! I'll have one shot..

Can't get the "brain" to float
