Lo-Fi Games

So, my friends and I are planning to organise a Soviet Russia-themed party a few months from now. We've already been experimenting with cocktails, but I was wondering if anyone around here maybe knows about drinks that could fit into the Soviet theme (we've already got vodka covered, and vodka mixed with vodka*). After some searching on the internet I found a drink called "Leninade" (basically, coloured lemonade, with awesome slogans like "Get hammered & sickled" on the bottle), but it's only sold via Amazon US, and prices for transatlantic shipping are rather high.

But back to my question, does anyone here have any suggestions for Soviet (or even just Russia) themed drinks**?

*or if you want to get real crazy, vodka-vodka mixed with vodka!
**or snacks, or any Soviet/Communist-styled stuff.

When we've had a prohibition, there was a "cocktail" called Three Zilch.

Take a beer and a just make three zilch of dichlorvos, it will nonlethal while it will almost kill your brain for about 40 minutes:) Sorry for some bad language, comrades!


Also Rum+vodka+coffee liquor= black russian... that was one of a "national" drinks so far.

I checked the drunken moogle and only found one russian themed (although I don't know which of the games list is actually a russian game). This one is from Red alert and is russian themed enough to be a bit of fun. Try checking out the others in the "Drinks by Series" list.

Ah, so I see that you are going to have a "Communist party".


Ok, I have a drink for you. (Its polish, however).

Its called spirytus rektyfikowany:

96% 192 proof (More than everclear)

mix ratio is 1-1-1

1 bottle of spirytus rektyfikowany

Use same bottle and fill with clover Honey (then pour into a bowl)

Use same bottle and fill with fresh lemon juice (DO NOT use concentrate becasue it will suck) (pour into same bowl as the honey)
stir for about 5 minutes (Then pour into a pitcher (or other container))
add the spirytus into same container and mix for another 5 minutes (slight foaming should occur)
=======================================================
Or just drink the spirytus straight (it will take your breathe away!)

Drink in a shot glass.(or a glass if desired)

Enjoy.

Um... No one mentioned the White Russian. I'm sure you already have it thought but since no one mentioned it, I wanted to be sure you're not crazy or smthg.

And something else, Garlic Vodka. I make it from time to time but not because it's good but because it's so horrible, that if you can drink it, you are the toughest-fuck-head ever among your friends. (WARNING: Girls might not think the same. Kissing on lips only at your own risk.)

Ingredients:
Bottle of vodka
1-2 full sized garlic

Mix ingredients and wait over night before enjoying. If one or more cloves happen to come to the mouth or shot glass, the drinker has to eat it.

The lameooooo-0 version: (some say it's actually good.)

Bottle of vodka
1 big clove of garlic

Open the bottle. Stuff the clove inside the neck of the bottle so it blocks the bottle like a cap. It has to be airtight so if you have too small clove, you can also put the real cap on it's place. Wait for 2-7 days for the flavor to affect. Remove (or eat) the garlic and enjoy.

You can also make fast shots for your quests. Take bunch of shot glasses, put one clove on each, pour the vodka and tell your friends they have to eat the clove when taking the shot.



And other tip. In Russia, they don't measure shots (I'm not sure about drinks) in milliliter or something like that, they measure them in grams. If you happen to get a scale or something, make sure to have for ex. 50 gram and 100 gram shots ready. (Yes, it's pretty big shot but that's how they do it. You might need bigger glasses.)

I wonder if you could use a blender to make a garlic daquiri? Only for the really hardcore I would assume as it is possibly the most disgusting drink you would ever encounter.

Don't forget to add the horseradish......

Oh wow...garlic and vodka.... I may never enjoy either again.

I would like to say that I make it from time to time but not because it's good but because it's so horrible.


Rock Salt UK

Some guys in my town recently made some home brew vodka. Out of the 4 of them 1 actually managed to survive. The other 3 died of methanol poisoning.

Careful when you home brew your own stuff guys.

Yeah, I am not going to re-post (However I do recommend taking a glance at the picture of the beautiful green labeled bottle 6 posts up )
