Look, I drink.
And I think to myself, there are plenty of others here on D-Toid that do the same. I thought, wouldn't it be nice to share some sophisticated drink recipes with fellow adults? Thanks to Lucashoal commenting that he wants a fruity drink to help represent the Fruity Furry D-Toid Community (Neonie is the most prevalent, followed by Lucashoal, Monkeycat, and Kelfonne). Tonight's is one i've never tried, but sounds pretty damn good, though all the grenadine makes it an automatic girly drink.
Neonie's Furry Purple Squirrel
After half a dozen of these, you might actually consider that offer from the sexy squirrel above. Neonie and a few others seem to catch constant crap from us on Destructoid, and I for one would like to thank them for being the community punching bag. My way of giving them thanks and a slight elbow to the ribs at the same time is to dedicate a drink to the Furries of this web community.
The basic recipe is:
1 Oz.
Light Rum
1 Oz.
Coconut Rum
1 Oz.
Blue Curacao Liqueur
1 Oz.
Grenadine Syrup
1 Oz.
Lime Juice
1 Oz.
Club Soda
1 Splash
Coconut Rum
Start with a coctail mixer that is half filled with ice cubes, pour in the light and coconut rums, then the blue curacao, next add the grenadine and lime juice. Shake well, then strain into a highball glass filled with ice cubes. To finish, add the club soda and stir, then add the last splash of coconut rum. To garnish, get a wedge of lime and push an almond into the flesh of the fruit and toss it into the glass.
The drink should look something like this when finished.
There you have it, A Furry Purple Squirrel! Drink with caution people, 'cause this drink is a whopping 15% alcohol. Whoo!!! Girly Drinks!!!

Well, I hope you guys all like it, please let me know what you think!
I like the flavored rums, I really like Capt. Morgans Parrot Bay.
What's your drink? I'll make one for you on Mondays edition of Look, I Drink. And I have no ill will towards Neonie, seems like a good guy, I was just going off of what I've heard on podtoid and from what other people here on the CBlogs post about him. I love all yous peoples.
duh.
:)
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Yeah you mix the one oz in th main portion of the beverage, and the splash goes on the top of it all. I dunno, sounds like it'd work.
Lol. Yeah, it's a real shame...
And yeah, I'm sure Yasho would love this if he could drink it. I'm not positive...but he sounds under 21 on voicechat. Like...18-19.
I'd drink it, also. I need to remember this for when I can buy booze. Just a few more months...
One: That drink pictured is not a Purple Squirrel. It's the wrong color (should be purple), the wrong serving glass (should be cocktail glass), the wrong amount of ice (should have none). So wrong. If anything, it's a Pink Squirrel.
Two: The last ingredient you list is wrong. It's not Coconut Rum again. It's Coconut milk.
Three: How do I know so much about this drink? Because I created it to go with my web design company. See the cocktail link on www.purplesquirrel.net for more details.
Keep up the drinking, but don't forget the thinking!
