When I was in college I spent Easter Weekend at school because of projects that I was working on. My drinking buddy and I made flaming jello Easter eggs using Everclear. I think that was the last thing that I can remember for the next 2 days. I remember a brief moment of clarity where she and I were trying to walk up a hill but we just couldn't master the 'up' part. We kept winding up in a ball at the bottom of the hill...then things got blurry again. The bottle sat on my shelf for the rest of my college career untouched and half full. I'm not sure what eventually happened to it.

Ahh memories.. or the lack there of.
My party mix:
1 bottle 151 Bacardi
1 bottle Everclear
1 large can Pineapple juice
1 large can Coco La Pez
mix it together in a gallon jug and put in freezer overnight. the non-acohol portions will freeze but be suspended in a slush like mixture that is colder than the freezing point of water due to alcohol.
put in 12-oz cups and serve. It is so cold your taste buds and throat go instantly numb and you can't taste the alcohol.
The mix is roughly 86 proof or each 12-oz glass is like drinking 5 ozs of straight, pure alcohol.
My parties tended to end early with lots of bodies on the floor.

Everclear will scar your soul. People have died from it. Use with extreme caution if at all.

[quote Will Collier]The most potent mixed drink ever is Everclear + Gatorade. They called that "Grenades" when I was in college. Skips your bloodstream and goes directly to the central nervous system. Don't try it at home, kids...
I went camping once with some buddies of mine. (that was the best way to get away to do some underage drinking). After getting everything set up. Tents up, fire going etc, I sat back and started drinking some gatorade out of the bottle. It was a giant (at least a gallon jug). The first clue that something was amiss was that it tasted kind of weird. Clue number two: all my buddies doing their best to stifle their laughter. Turns out they had mixed in everclear. Unfortunately the guy who mixed it was already a bit tipsy and basically poured out half the bottle and topped it off with the everclear. I don't remember much after that.

You brought up horrific memories of my college days. Don't try it at home, or anywhere. We also filled a watermelon with that crap once. Also not a good idea.

I think we used to call it Old Artillery Punch - mix in every bottle of whatever booze you could find and then add the Everclear. Also, a favorite tactic of the boys was to invite the girls on picnics with fruit injected with Everclear. Ah, the good old days........
