Root Beer Magic

This is a drink for those who have a lot of money to spend on an awesome concoction for pre-drinks and parties. I cannot take full credit for this one, as it is a drink largely invented by former executives of Fight Band—McGill Alumnus Kolya Kowalchuk and SSMU President Josh Redel.

What you’ll need:

• 26 oz. bottle of Jägermeister®

• 26 oz. bottle of Goldschläger®

• 2L bottle of Root Beer

• Vanilla (Optional)

Method

Mix all three bottles in a large bowl and serve in the fashion of Sangria, or mix individually with one part Jägermeister®, one part Goldschläger®, and two parts root beer. Feel free to add vanilla if you want an extra kick. The ratio is completely up to your discretion. 

The Screamer

This one may ruin the innocence of your childhood memories, but I’m going to tell you about it anyway.

What you’ll need:

• 2L bottle of Root Beer

• 1 tub of Ice cream (Vanilla or something similar)

• 26 oz. bottle of Vanilla Absolut®

• 26 oz. bottle of rum (any kind will do)

Method

Start with a tall glass (such as a mug or Collins Glass) and pour in 1 ¼ oz. of rum. Next up is the root beer—fill the glass with about two inches to spare at the top. Follow with a generous scoop of hard ice cream. Before adding the ice cream to the glass, scoop a small hole into the ball itself, so it can work as a sort of shot glass. Finally, fill the hole with Vanilla Absolut®, but don’t stop when it’s full. Instead, let it run down the ice cream into the drink. Try to take a shooter of vodka out of the ice cream with your hands behind your back—it’ll be like bobbing for apples, only cooler (pun intended).
