Best New Years Eve Drinks (an awesomeness zombie review.)

New Years is here and it's time to say bon voyage to the past with the biggest party of the year. whether you're planning your own event or looking for some ideas to make your post bar after-party a success, these drinks are sure to please.  



DEVIL'S KREW PUNCH

2 parts Jim Beam® Devil's Cut®
1 part Pomegranate Liqueur
2 parts Pineapple Juice
1 part Cranberry Juice

This one is very simple and provides a bold flavor and nice kick. Ingredients can be mixed in a cocktail glass or in larger amounts for a party punchbowl. Serve chilled. 

 AMARETTO CHERRY SOUR

For those wanting something a little more mild.


2 ounces Amaretto
1-2 ounce sweet and sour mix
2 ounces lemon lime soda
1 tbsp grenadine
 
All ingredients should be chilled prior to serving. Determine your preference for ingredient amounts, as different recipes call for more or less sweet and sour mix. Your best bet is 1 part sweet and sour to 2 parts amaretto, but tastes vary. Note: do not, I repeat, do not use too much grenadine; less is definitely more unless you like cough syrup. Simply mix all ingredients and pour over crushed ice. Add a cherry on top and you have a thoroughly enjoyable drink.

  

CARIBOU LOU

A long time favorite of party goers in Kansas City MO popularized by rapper TechN9ne, Caribou Lou is a strong drink with a hell of a punch. In its origins, this drink was made in large batches utilizing big jugs to make enough servings for good sized party crowds; the recipe however, can easily be applied to a smaller single serving.


1 ½ parts Bacardi 151
1 part Malibu coconut flavored rum
5 parts pineapple juice



For an individual serving, combine 1.5 ounces of 151, 1 ounce Malibu, and 5 ounces of juice in a shaker with ice, shake and strain into a chilled glass. If you like, you can always try variations with different juice blends, or different amounts of ingredients, just be careful because the 151 has a hard kick.

BUCK SHOT

What's a New Year's Eve party without shots? Here's a simple one that will keep the party going into 2014.

1 part Red stag
1 part Jagermeister   

Mix, Drink, Repeat.

Enjoy these drinks safely and responsibly, and have a happy New Year!

College Paper: Critical Analysis of Antigone

Below is a copy of an English Comp II paper on Antigone. For use as an example only. Critical Analysis of Antigone Themes of Life, Death, Sin, and Virtue Analysis of Sophocles' play Antigone and its major themes Antigone is a play similar to Oedipus Rex in its dark tone, mythical themes, and tragic story. However, Sophocles' writing seems clearer in this play, and Antigone is much more character-driven with complex, well developed characters. Through Sophocles' brilliant characterization of people at war with themselves, Inner conflict emerges as the central theme of the play. The play is all about conflict including the obvious themes like man's rules versus divine law, and pride versus honor; as well as the deeper subtext of each character's internal conflicts.   Kreon for example, is caught between his duty to the gods and his pride. His character has changed dramatically from the time of Oedipus to the events of Antigone. He is still aware of...

A Brief Look at the Eventful Life of Samuel Tilden

Samuel Jones Tilden was born in New Lebanon, New York in 1814. He was educated at Yale University and the University of the city of New York. He was admitted to the bar in 1841. [1]  Tilden became an outstanding corporation lawyer, who mastered the complexities of reorganizing and refinancing railroads. He amassed a fortune in fees, which he augmented by shrewd  investments  in railroads, iron mines, and real estate. [2] Tilden had shown leadership ability early in his political career. An ardent Jacksonian in the 1830's, Tilden became a leader in the 1840's of the Barnburners. [3]  "The Barnburners were a radical element of the Democratic party in New York State from 1842 to 1848. The name derives from the fabled Dutchman who burned his barn to rid it of rats; by implication, the Barnburners would destroy corporations and public works to do away with the abuses they foster". [4]  This alliance illustrated Tilden's commitment to the abolition of corruption. ...
