American Idol Hits St. Louis

June 28, 2011

I can now personally confirm that Ryan Seacrest is in fact such a wee man that if I was skinned alive you could fit two of him inside my remains. I’m not suggesting he’s the kind of guy who makes girls put the lotion on their skin before they get the hose again, but I will say there was a surreal atmosphere at the American Idol auditions. We spoke with around 15 eager participants in order to make this video, after which I seriously questioned the wisdom of ever wearing that dress again. Since I can’t embed Patch videos, you’ll…

Donut Cocktail

This week on Dollar Store Drinks we make a cocktail for the Internet Police in exchange for a Get out of Jail Free card. The Internet informed us we were getting altogether too respectable. The Apple Pie cocktail tasted like alcoholic apple newtons, the Green Tea Cocktail was downright respectably healthy, and the Tropical Cocktail tasted like something they’d serve at Sandals in Jamaica. We hate to disappoint you. That’s why this week we made a donut cocktail. It’s best drunk on a dare. 1 mashed, flattened slice of white bread 1 shot rum 1/2 shot caramel syrup Honey Cinnamon…

Green Tea Cocktail

This week on Dollar Store Drinks we show Snapple who has the right stuff with our green tea, honey and citron vodka goodness. The high fructose corn syrup rampant in every dollar store food item was starting to turn my blood into a thick, sugary sludge. In order to clean it out, I decided this would be a good week to detox with some green tea and honey. No one needs to know this recipe came from the dollar store. Honest. This drink is all about presentation. Imagine you’ve just finished a sweaty afternoon tennis match. It’s time to leave…

Tropical Cocktail

This week on Dollar Store Drinks Adam chugs our cocktail without going blind. We take your mouth on a surprisingly good tropical vacation. It’s always a surprise when the dollar store has some quality ingredients, so I snatched up the Mango and Guava nectars. Instead of a long island iced tea, think of this as a squat island juice box. 2 Shots Mango Nectar 2 Shots Guava Nectar 2 Shots Pineapple Juice 2 Shots Rum 1/2 Shot Caramel Syrup Where, you may wonder, did the pineapple juice come from? Why, a can of pineapple rings, of course. It’s both juice…

Apple Pie Cocktail

This week on Dollar Store Drinks we give Skip the world’s tastiest reason to have his stomach pumped. That’s right, it’s a simple cocktail appropriate for a fall apple harvest festival. We’re bringing it to you in February because this is Dollar Store Drinks and it takes about 3 months for some seasonal items to make it to the last vestige of retail. Luckily, the sheer volume of preservatives ensures this cider and syrup will taste just as fresh next November. To make this drinkable apple pie, you’ll need: 2 Shots Apple cider 1 1/2 Shots Vodka 1/2 Shot Caramel…

Valentine’s Day Cocktail

This week on Dollar Store Drinks we mix heaven and hell in one otherworldly glass. Whether your Valentine’s Day is heavenly or hellish, we have a bright red, shockingly respectable cocktail to help you celebrate. Serve it to the one you love or drink three straight while watching streaming Netflix alone in your underwear. We’re not here to judge how you celebrate this Hallmark Holiday. Mexican juices and nectars are always available at the dollar store. Most weeks you can find Mango, Guava, Peach or Plum. It’s the same stuff they charge $4 or more for at liquor stores, so…
