Fight for your right!

Went to a BBQ party yesterday. The woman who holds these parties, I., holds them at her parents' house every year. Usually twice a year.

I started attending about 4 years ago, I guess. Haven't missed once since. Under my tutelage, the alcohol consumption at these parties has been steadily increasing as well. In fact, a couple of years ago, my wife (now my Ex) got completely shitfaced doing Black Haus shots that I brought with me, and she hates the stuff. A new term came out of that Ma-hoo-B-Q (for that is what these parties are called).

"I'm frunk."

I think you can all figure out what that is a combination of.

This time I was originally planning on bringing some stuff for making shots, but then I realized the theme of this one - Ma-Hawai-Q. Yes, it was a Hawaiian themed one! Everyone needed to go wearing some kind of hawaiian gear. I wore a floral shirt over a Tool tee. Anyway, I figured, instead of the shots, I'll go with mixed drinks.

So, yesterday, I hit the liquor store to stock up before heading over. Among the purchases:

Malibu Rum
Captain Morgan's Rum
Absolut Vodka
Absolut Citron
Jose Cuervo Tequila
Black Haus (still intended to do shots)
Triple Sec
Kahlua
Midori
Creme de Banana
Creme de Cacao
Pina Colada mix
Strawberry Daiquiri mix
Margarita mix
Mudslide mix

Then I hit the grocery store for the other odds and ends.

Total bill for this party: $300

Luckily, the mixed drinks were a big hit. We polished off the pina colada mix, half of the daiquiri mix and a bit of the margarita mix.

Had a couple rounds of Black Haus (I ended up doing about 4 shots of it), a couple Midori Balls (Midori, Vodka & OJ), a couple Miami Vices (half strawberry daiquiri, half pina colada). For a while there, pain was non-existant.

My liquor cabinet is now pretty well stocked. Just missing gin and vermouth, neither of which I like, so, I doubt I'll ever get them.

So, when's the next party?
