My dorm is under quarentine and they've decided that we're doing a pub crawl, except its a room crawl because we can't go out. Basically we stop at every room and party and have a drink, which is great, because it means i'm invited to something - the problem is that every room apparantly needs a special drink and we each need a theme. The only kind of nice clothes i own right now are some slightly classier hawaian shirts, so i guess the theme has to be something vaguely tropical?
I'm crushingly socially awkward, don't really know these guys too well, and i figure this is my shot to have friends this year. So any recommendations for drinks (or music or like just how to do things like this) would be very welcome.
I currently own most of a bottle of spiced rum and ~half a bottle of vodka. I don't mind having to buy a few more bottles of things or whatever but i am kind of cheap ngl. Honestly, i've never thrown (and rarely been to lmao) a party before, and usually my choice of drink is just grabbing something carbonated and dumping vodka in it, so any help appreciated :heart-sickle:
spiced rum, cola, and lime approximates a Cuba Libre. There's probably some political debate about the name which should get you people all agitated which you obviously live for
Nice, a way to bring political debate to a party! As a chapo.chat poster, i'm always looking for more of those :stalin-shining:
Pineapple juice, spiced rum, and lime slice for garnish. Do about 1 part rum to 4-5 parts juice (depending on taste). If you want to be a star, have ice.
Ask people questions about themselves, listen to the answer. If you can, ask another, related question.
That all sounds simple enough, i guess i'll give it a go. thanks comrade :sankara-salute:
Like others said, be yourself and try to relax! I hope you have a great time :)
Rum and ginger ale is a tried and true classic. As for vodka, I've always liked a "Salty Dog" - its a Greyhound aka Vodka and Grapefruit Juice with salt on the rim of the glass.
If the rum happens to be regular Captain Morgan, mixing one shot with 1-2 cups (measuring unit) of Mountain Dew makes a drink that tastes like Vanilla Coke. It's like alchemy.
That honsestly sounds so intriguing, if they sold mountain dew in this country I think I'd be trying that party or no party.
If you can get ahold of some triple sec, lime juice, and cranberry juice then you can make cosmopolitans with the vodka which should go down well.
Hot cider and rum is a nice combo, smells good too, not tropical though. Pineapple/mango/orange juice paired with either your rum or vodka works, and goes with your shirts. Grapefruit and vodka is sooo good. Get some ice for sure, maybe some of those little umbrellas. Also as an aside, when you go to other people's rooms try to pick up on common ground to chat over, like maybe you like cars and the bro slinging jaegerbombs down the hall has car posters on the wall, idk. Be relaxed, and be yourself, stay safe and have fun
I'll definately be looking to see if i can find some of those umbrellas somewhere tomorrow, that actaully sounds adorable, and i hadn't thought of getting ice.
I think you have the right idea about other people's rooms too (and hopefully letting them go first pulls a dual purpose, they can't notice that i'm a bit lacking if they're already fucked up lmao). Thanks comrade
Just buy some tequila, triple sec, limes/lime juice, agave syrup, turn on some Jimmy Buffett and go full parrothead.
Vodka, Cranberry Juice, pineapple juice, soda water. Garnish with maraschino cherries and a slice of pineapple.
