This latest post comes from The Only Sober Guy In The Room
A friend of mine went up to Whistler, BC, Canada, on a ski trip recently. Besides the recent Olympics in conjunction with Vancouver, Whistler is known for two things: the skiing, and the partying.
Few, if any ski resorts offer both top quality runs and top quality night life, so if you’re headed up that way, be prepared to burn the candle at both ends.
One of the latest concoctions to hit the streets that my bro experienced is the Crown of Thorns, a 12oz shot that tastes like candy, but acts like rocket fuel. Invented by a bartender named Jimmy a few years back (as legend goes) it’s liable to cause blackouts when seen in packs!
Here’s how to make it:
Active Ingredients:
1oz Crown Royal
1oz Apple Sour Puss
1oz Raspberry Sour Puss
Fill a double rocks glass (12-14oz) with ice. Like, right up to the top; smash it down if you have to! Add liquor in order shown, then top with equal parts Red Bull and 7up/Sprite. Add 2 straws.
Similar to a Mind Eraser, (Kahlua, vodka, soda) this drink is designed not to be stirred or enjoyed – it’s a shooter, despite its size. So grow up and wear your Crown of Thorns with pride!
WARNING: HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. I made some at home and they have a tendency to catch up on you… One minute you’re noticing how sweet they taste, the next you’re noticing your tongue doesn’t work properly.
