Look, I drink -- Neonie's Furry Purple Squirrels
Excremento | 6:12 PM on 10.19.2007 21 comments


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!!!

*Note* Destructoid assumes no responsibility for the drink recipes posted by Excremento, nor the actions taken from imbibing said drinks, neither does Excremento.



Well, I hope you guys all like it, please let me know what you think!

Even if its a girly drink, it sounds delicious
Zarathustra's Destructoid Blog
I would try that. Looks and sounds good. As long as you follow it up with lots of beer.

Oh my gawd! Yashoki would love this!

Sounds tasty, but I never buy flavored rum, and I don't think I could order it at any bar and retain my dignity.
Necros's Destructoid Blog
Ha ha, shame Neonie hasn't been around lately.

@ Shipero

I like the flavored rums, I really like Capt. Morgans Parrot Bay.

@ Juggernaut

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.
Zarathustra's Destructoid Blog
Dude, Parrot Bay is fucking good.
trydizon's Destructoid Blog
parrot bay is at the southern most part of hyrule.
duh.

:)
MaxVest's Destructoid Blog
It has to be brown, golden, or clear to be a manly drink. Anything else is by default girly (so says a trusted source).

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
bottled dark's Destructoid Blog
an oz. and a splash of coconut rum?
Excremento's Destructoid Blog
@ bottled dark

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.
Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
Whoa, this will be sweet enough to get Neonie some drunken sex at any future meeting. Nice one :D
Riser Glen's Destructoid Blog
@Necros

Lol. Yeah, it's a real shame...
lucashoal's Destructoid Blog
I lol'd, especially since my idea was used.

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...

 about me



Greeting true believers!

My real name is Xopher Reed. I've been a videogame acolyte for as long as I can remember. I have well over 25 years of video game experience starting with the Commodore 64 and Intellivision. I can look back at my life year by year and remember fondly what game I was playing at that point in my existence.

Not being content with my sitting on my ass and not proclaiming to the world my views on the gaming industry was the reason I started a blog here on Dtoid. After seeing that my personal blog was going nowhere, I decided that the community here on Destructoid was the only way to go. I'm still here, updating as often as I can for all of your enjoyment.

Any of you out there who wish to contact me directly can do so at:
