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!

MGK Rap Devil VS Eminem kILLSHOT. Who won?

Machine Gun Kelly and Eminem have made rap battles interesting again. With one music video Machine Gun Kelly launched his career to a level never achieved in his mediocre history as a somewhat known rapper. Shortly after its release, the Eminem dis track "Rap Devil." Went viral. Suddenly the moderately successful and not widely known rapper was trending and getting respect from people who had nothing for him before. There were two reasons for the response. First, people don't go after Eminem. His unmatched skill and his devastating lyrical assaults scare off most rappers. The fact that MGK was willing to step up and challenge Slim Shady is impressive. The other thing that makes Rap Devil noteworthy is that it's actually pretty good. musically, it's probably the best thing Kelly has produced, and lyrically he comes pretty hard at Em. Honestly, people were kind of surprised that MGK made himself relevant. Of course right after Rap Devil went viral, everyone wa...

The Misunderstood Problem of Social Phobia

William James (1890) made an important distinction between the 'I' (the private inner self) and the 'Me' (the self as an object of self reflexive thought), and argued that the latter had material, spiritual and social aspects. He famously argued that we have as many selves as there are people about whose opinions we care, and so the self changes from one situation to another. This view was to influence the work of Cooley (1909) who spoke of the 'Looking Glass Self' - a reflection of the imagined judgments about ourselves made by other people (cf.ac.uk). For people with social phobia / social anxiety, this reflexive view of the self becomes central and distorted. That is to say that, in social situations the person with social anxiety becomes fixated on, and exaggerates the perceptions others may have. According to William James, to understand the "me," we may begin by dividing the history of it into three parts, relating respectively to-its constitue...

A Short Biography of Joseph Pulitzer

"Joseph  Pulitzer  was born in Mako, Hungary on April 10, 1847, the son of a wealthy grain merchant of Magyar-Jewish origin and a German mother who was a devout Roman Catholic. He was educated in Budapest. He decided to become a soldier and tried in turn to enlist in the Austrian Army, Napoleon's Foreign Legion for duty in Mexico, and the British Army for service in India. He was rebuffed because of weak eyesight and frail health, which were to plague him for the rest of his life."[1] After two other European armies declined to admit him, Pulitzer joined the American Union army. [2]  This occurred when he met a bounty recruiter in Hamburg,  Germany  and contracted to enlist as a substitute for a draftee, a procedure permitted under the Civil War draft system. "Pulitzer migrated to the United States in 1864 and served in the first New York cavalry during the American Civil War." [3] Pulitzer's claim to fame, however, is not in his military service but rathe...
