Mixing Everclear
 

I'm getting a bottle of Everclear (197 proof grain alcohol) and was wondering what the best way to mix it would be. I hear jello shots are good, but that would require making a lot of jello shots at once and I won't be with al ot of people I don't suspect.

Would it be best to just mix it with fruit juice? If so, what would the ratios be for that?

Any help is appreciated. :confused:

yum jello shots. you can also mix 1 cup everclear, 1 cup water (boiling) with the jello, and add a package of Gelatin (unflavored) and put in a square pan, it works with Vodka, and will set. that way you can cut up and serve in dixie cups.

as far as jungle juice
it depends on your taste, I normally cut up fresh fruit, and pour a 2 Liter bottle of clear lemon lime soda in it to give it some fizz. but I also make large batches when I make it.

Yeah, I'm thinking whop is going to be your best bet on how best to disguise the taste.

I actually just had some whop with everclear (and a variety of other liquors) a few weeks ago for a friends b-day party, it wasn't half bad.

Then we all did a shot of everclear - bad idea. It smell, and tastes, almost identical to rubbing alchohol. I'll drink just about anything, but straight everclear is wicked.

Purple Jesus. It's purple and guaranteed to make you see Jesus if you're sitting down while you drink it.

3 parts Country Time lemonade
3 parts grape Kool-Aid
1 part Everclear
1 part vodka
1 part (or to taste) rum

Best served in a bucket, with another bucket nearby for the recycling of the Purple Jesus.

keep this up, kiddo, and you'r gonna be an alcoholic by the time you're old enough to drink legally... Be careful, eh?

Disguising everclear (or really bad vodka)

Take one watermelon
Cut a small hole (plug) in the watermelon, keep the plug)
Pour everclear into watermelon - shoudl take about a cup or two
Put plug back into watermelon and put melon in fridge
roll melon every 20 minutes or so to distribute booze

after bout 6 hours - cut melon - eat melon - hold onto floor as the room spins

Keeping a bucket nearby is also good.

/me recalls back in the day when everclear, or whatever the trade name was then, was sold in hardware stores for use in cleaning lawnmowers and other hardware... and you want to drink that stuff?

Everclear is ever popular with the underage college crowd. In our liquor stores, you have to ask for it--they keep it hidden underneath the counter.

I wouldn't recommend jello shots. Those are bad enough with cheap vodka--they don't disguise the taste very well.

Pineapple juice masks everclear VERY well, as do other tropical fruit juices. Everclear and Kool-Aid always go well together.

At any rate...it will hurt your stomach. And you will throw up.

Be prepared.

If it makes you feel better I also bought a bottle of Ketel One :thumbsup:

uhh -so you'll be an alcoholic with good taste in vodka?? :D

That's the plan. :suave:

You can't even buy Everclear in California -- well you can, but it's only 75 percent, sames as Bacardi 151. And Bacardi's a lot better.

In my experience, only chemistry majors drank Everclear, usually as part of the fabled Purple Jesus described above, although the recipe I knew was just Everclear and Welch's. Most people who think this is a fun idea do it about once. Then they don't think that anymore.

Speaking as a former college Hall Activities Coordinator (for 3 years), Purple Jesus led to more nakedness between freshmen and sophomore students of both sexes than any other single drink that I ever served. Junior and seniors tended to be realize that the line "You don't fuck with the Jesus" from The Big Lebowski has multiple meanings. Or they just waited for that cute sophomore soccer player to have that second 32 oz cup before swooping in with their A material.

Gator... (Crap, I can't figure out how to say this without being the lecturing mommy.)

::Deep Sigh, start again::

Gator... I've been there (100 proof) and have been 'done in' by that. Why would you want to ruin an otherwise perfect evening by nearly poisoning yourself and your friends?

Toss that shit, and enjoy your friends with better choices of alcohol. Maintaining bodily fluids and staying upright are virtues at parties.

Thus spake the nagging bwitch.

You've been done in by 100 proof grain alcohol...?

I think that trashing yourself on cheap liquor and kool-aid is an important part of growing up, and come Sunday I'll be sure to have an update on the joys of getting myself stupidly sick.

Plus who knows if it'll be a perfectly good evening, maybe the everclear will be able to pick up what might be an otherwise boring evening?

One little tip we used to use when drinking everclear is despite what the bottle says drink 1 straight shot and throw one in a fire before you start drinking it mixed. That way you are fully aware going in what it is your dealing with. We used to mix it with tang. Don't even bother trying it with coke. Its an awful combo. When you empty the bottle put the cap back on and let it sit for like a week then take the cap back off and hold a lighter up to the hole. Its like a frikkin jet engine. Good luck.

JUNGLE JUICE! :)

Buy tote (or clean one you have)
Pour entire bottle of everlcear in bottom of tote
Pour 3 gallons of that cheap juice shit you get at the local grocery store -- fruity flavored

Takes about 25 seconds to make, perfect ratio .. make sure you keep the juice cold the day before.

THATS how you get wasted on cheap shit quickly..serves about 16 to mildly drunk, 12 to belligerent.

What ever happened to old fashioned harry buffalos????
1 garbage can (CLEAN)
a load of fruit
1 bottle of every kinda (cheap) liquor
tons of ice

drink til ya puke then..... by all means... eat the fruit

*note let it set a few days before drinking*

Oh Christ this stuff is vile. Ah well, glad I tried it at least.

Hahaha....

What did you end up trying to mix it with? Did you try a shot of it?

I spiked some fruit, mixed it with different fruit juices, and I think the next time I get the chance I'll make jello shots out of the rest of it just to see if it's any good.

Did I try a shot of it? I'd rather put a bullet in my head... ;)

Guess I'm a little late on this thread, put this a favorite of mine (created with a good friend of mine after reading about it on Tucker Max).

Tucker Max Death Mix

Everclear, Gatorade, and a splash of Red Bull.

I don't know the exact portions, you basically mix enough gatorade in with the everclear to mask the taste and then add a splash of red bull. Unfortunately everytime this drink is invovled I don't remember the night's events. :)

I was searching the internet on "mixing Everclear" when I stumbled onto this thread. I'm not sure what this site is even about, and I know this thread pretty old, but I had to share my first "Everclear experience."


About four weeks ago, my friend and I decided we wanted to get wasted. Mind you we've never been DRUNK before. We've been tipsy, and we've been buzzed, but never drunk.
So we talked to my other friend who hooked us up with a bottle of Gem Clear. We get back to my house and we're ready to have some fun. So I take the bottle and decide to taste it. I do, and nearly have a heart attack on the spot. My friend is laughing hysterically, so I tell him to take a sip. He does the same thing, so now we're both beating our chests while laughing at the other.
Then, I get this bright idea. Being the experienced drinker I am, I tell him that we should take shots and it might not be as bad. He agrees and we decide to do it in the bathroom incase it comes up.
We take the shots and are immediately grasping for breath for a few minutes. When we get ourselves back together and have a good laugh, we decide that we HAVE to mix it with something. Of course, the only thing I have is Sprite. We really want to get drunk, so we just go with it. It was tough, but in no time I was falling down, calling up my exgirlfriend, and leaving my current girlfriend drunken voice mails. She was not amuzed to say the least, but that's the most fun I've had with one other person that wasn't a girl.

Sorry about the big bump, and I'm not sure if I'll ever find my way back here, but I felt the need to share my story.

Cheers! :thumbsup:

I had a capfull of the 190 proof once... To quote Ralph Wiggam "It tastes like... burning."

apple pie
 

This is what my friends make it and I am not a drinker but I could sure overdo this one.. its great cold or hot..

Apple Pie Punch recipe

1 gallon apple juice
1/2 gallon fresh apple cider
3 - 4 cinnamon sticks
1 liter Everclear® alcohol


Scale ingredients to servings

I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here and say "be very careful." This stuff can fuck you up reeeeaally bad. I've only had it mixed with something else, and it was bad enough. Me and my girlfriend tried Bacardi 151 one weekend at a friend's party, took 6 shots in a period of an hour. I'm 285 lbs. We were both throwing up the entire night......

So to sum it up, whatever you mix this "Near 200 proof" alcohol with, don't let anyone have a lot of it :)

The best way to down this nasty shit is to probably do jello shots.......

The best Everclear Mixer:

1 bottle Everclear
1 dish drain

Pour bottle liberally down dish drain. Throw empty bottle into trash. Go buy tasty 90-100 proof burbon, drink, and love yourself in the morning.

:)

Sage speaks the truth!

Why waste your time, brain cells and taste buds on crappy alcohol. Spend a little more and live a little better (if not a little longer).

Ugh, yeah. I guess my everclear days are long over. Give me some gin or bourbon (depending on season), good quality, and I'm happy as a clam.

Here's a thought. Get another watermelon (since you drilled a hole in the first one lol) and cut it into little chunks...minus the rind of course. lay them out in a single layer on a cookie sheet. pour about a half inch of everclear into the cookie sheet or however much it can hold...put whole thing into the fridge for 1-2 hours. then pull them out and start popping your watermelony treats!! which will also wreck you :o) oooor you could then put the watermelon bits into a blender with some other goodies and make a delicious smoothie. Then again if you feel this doesnt have enough of a kick to it... try graduating to absynthe :o)

shit i remeber that stuff from my teenage years. i would set shit on fire with it just to see the gnar ass blue flame, then take some shots.

i like trickys watermelon idea, but instead just try boring a hole into the melon, pour that strong assed shit inside, and cork the hole with the plug you carved out.

let it sit for a bit, then slice it up and eat.

my mom tought me this when i was 15 or so. gatta love parents :)

Everclear, grape Kool-aid, and grape juice.

That's what the friends at home always do for large(ish) parties. They call it "Purple Drink." It still sort of tastes like burning.

Once upon a time I could drink everclear straight because a) it didn't take much, b) I wouldn't have to drink any more for the rest of the night, c) that means I didn't have to pee all night, d) I never had a bad hangover from drinking it.

My first roommate in college used to drink that crap. He'd mix Everclear and Crystal Light (he'd pour the power straight into the liquor bottle). "Calorie-free drunkness" is what he called it.

I shutter just thinking about it.

Obviously he wasn't accounting for the calories in the alcohol itself--190 calories for 1 oz. of everclear.

I gotta say, Jello shots are the way to go with Everclear.

Change out your injectors, pump, and valves.... and put it in your gas tank. Muhahahahah....

(Just kidding. Please don't do that to your poor little POS Plymouth Reliant)

thats a great idea.

i wonder if the jello will be all runny, though.

Ah, Everclear. You know what it's like to sleep in a gutter in the middle of winter?

I do.

I like gummy shapes instead of shots... use less water to melt the gelatin add extra box of jello.

I'm with Sage. Pour that shit down the drain. I'm 30 years old, and even if I decide to drink to get drunk (a rarity all along), I'd do it with something that tastes good. A 30 dollar bottle of Black Bush or Red Breast can do you and a friend in just fine. If you need enough for more than one friend, you need to find some fuckers with their own jobs to drink with, :thumbsup:

I've had them a few times before and they weren't all that runny. But they get you really fucked up.

I had everclear once, just a little bit.


straight.


I don't know the details of it, other than my room-mate gave it to me, and it was like, a teaspoon worth, but I felt it.

Not my thing.

You know, I never expected tto find *this* in the Cooking forum. But since I did...

I'm 33. My hard-drinking "party every night" days are long gone, in no small part due to my job. When I do drink, it's beer, and nearly always Guinness.

I generally DO NOT LIKE hard liquor at all. Period. The occasional car bomb, maybe Jaeger bomb, but that's it.

All that being said, a friend of mine turned me on to a new concoction which, actually, I quite like. It's not heinously strong, and it tastes good... you just have to be careful. Somewhere into the second or third glass, I find myself naked, climbing a tree, throwing eggs at the neighbor's dog and singing Meat Puppets tunes at the top of my lungs, THEN wondering how it was I got there.

Also, not much of a hangover involved, believe it or not.

Without further ado:

THE GREEN EYED MONSTER

1 x bottle Everclear (Diesel if you're on a budget)
1 x bottle apple schnapps
1 x 42/46 oz. can of pineapple juice
4 x 16 oz. cans of Amp

Mix, shake a bit, chill & pour.

One other aspect I love is that one batch packs the punch (NPI) of about a case and a half of Guinness, so it's a bit more cost-effective for me, at least until I get a kegerator.

My friend claims it also makes him horny as hell, which I guess I could see. It definitely keeps me awake, whether or not it keeps me up all night. ;)

My primary use for grain is blowing fireballs. I used it to make absinthe back when I did such things, and I still mix it occasionally. For drinking, I'm really more of a 151 guy (make a Cuba Libre with 151 instead of rum and you have a Cuban Missile Crisis!)
You think that's bad? Try inhaling it when someone bumps into you.
Absinthe differs from high-proof liquor only in that bad absinthe carries a risk of renal toxicity and most high-proof rum and grain alcohol doesn't taste like Gatorade mixed with lawn trimmings and diesel fuel. Anything past drunkenness is placebo.
Not only will it get runny, if you use too much alcohol or don't mix it with water first, it will denature the colloids that hold it together, leaving you with flavored alcohol and what looks like jizz floating in it.

great to know. ill keep that in mind, MSD.

This reminded me of a buddy of mine who felt snorting a tablespoon of everclear would be a great idea.

Poor guy.

i heard that the Everclear sold in the states is even lighter than the stuff in Europe. And i had the stuff in Europe, in Ibiza Spain. that stuff will grow hair on your chest. we just did it straight. whew, my god. actually got slightly hallucinagenic after several days of drinking it. never had alcohol give me a 'hallucinagenic trip'. this stuff's dangerous. where we stayed was a big condo/complex on the beach, and our neighbors who were from Switzerland introduced us to it. whew. just whew. neeeded a week to detox after doing that stuff daily.

holy crap i'm sorry, i was thinking Absynthe, not Everclear. disregard.

clearly, i haven't recovered from the Absynthe episode :)

A wop we made a couple weeks ago that someone claimed was "the best wop in the histroy of wops" went something like this. In a 5 gallon bucket, about one and a half liters of everclear, 2 mike's hard limes, half a bottle of smirnoff, 5 cans of squirt pop, 2 jars of maraschino cherries, strawberries, grapes, watermelon, a can of pineapple chunks with juice, the rest of the room filled with 3 parts country time lemonade, 1 part fruit punch, leavin a little room at the top for ice, let the fruit and all the liquid sit overnight and all day the next day and then put the ice in before serving, made two of these, no hangovers or vomiting to be heard of and everyone loved it. think in the next one we're gonna use lime juice instead of the mikes and some pink lemonade as well

Grape juice and Everclear - Purple passion

Fruit punch and everclear - PRP - Panty removing punch!

Use a designated driver and a ring master to shut you down before you get in serious trouble. this stuff can literally be deadly

Maybe bumping the thread but has anyone ever actually tried absynthe? one of my favorite fictional characters (Alouisius Pendergast) refers to it. My father in law has a bottle but neither of us has had the guts to try it and since he just had a stroke I guess it might be up to me????

yes i drank a lot of it in prague. it was tasty! drank it with the burning sugar and such...

Everclear = The Devil

Carry On.

he asked! :)

A week ago, I was drinking Everclear, and Grape NOS. Proportions were to the point where the burn was only slight. I only remember an hour of that night. I woke up, in my own vomit, the half a bottle of vodka I had was gone, I was short three bears, one I found outside broken, and my everclear was quite less then I remember. According to witnesses I also almost kissed another man. Never again.
