I'm not sayin it's ok to get stupid like that, but no matter what people
are gonna do what they're gonna do. Life is about experiencing things and
learning, and some people like to learn the hard way.
That being said, I agree with JAM about using Vodka as the base. My dad was
a bartender "in his day", and his most requested mixed drink was "his version"
of the "Harvey Wallbanger". Basically it's about 1 Oz. Vodka, 1/2 Oz.
Galliano, 4 Oz. Orange Juice.
Certain people may chide me for mentioning Everglo, but if you mix that
w/some Cranberry juice, it comes out nice & smooth, not-to-sweet. Anyone who
likes sweet or non-liquor tasting drinks should give that a try. I've also
mixed Everglo w/some Bombay Sapphire Gin and that comes out nice, at least to
me. Now, I've never really experimented with Everglo for the sake of finding
out if it really fks you up, and with what mix, so you'll have to experiment
for yourselves.
