As mentioned (

So to kick this sucker off, a little creation of my wife's:
THE MUD DAUBER1 oz Drambuie
1 oz Caramel Temptation Liqueur
A sweet shot with a smooth sting. In a large (2 oz size) shot glass first pour in the Drambuie, then carefully add the Liqueur to the top so as to not mix. Shoot the drink at once, allowing it to gently mix in your mouth, before completion.

THE PLUG
Only works with a tall and narrow shot glass.
Pour about half the glass Amaretto (almond) liqueur. Top with fresh whipped cream so that it forms the 'plug'. The key to drinking it is to shoot it whilst sucking the whipped cream in, so that there's none left in the glass. It takes a few attempts to master this, i.e. you shouldn't let the liqueur seep under the whipped cream. Great fun to drink, and it works with Irish Cream and such, too.

I've has this recently in a cocktail bar in Birmingham.
The Zombie
1 shot of dark rum, 1 shot of light rum, 1 shot of whiskey, grenadine, lime juice and an absinthe floater.
Have 3, feel the zombification.
I'm also partial to a Godfather - whiskey and amaretto.

ooh i've got loads of these, since our town has an awesome coctail bar that has created most of their drinks for competitions etc. I always try to remember the indegrients, but I never do. Then again, I would never have the money to buy the booze for them anyways. I'll see, if I can dig up the best stuff.

Dang....thanks Queue :D
Guess I'm gonna have to put in my little grain of sand, alas, this ain't an invention of mine, but I'd still like to share:
Kalimotxo (pronounced Kah-lee-mow-choe, methinks)
A Basque drink from Spain that a friend of mine who went to live there for some time taught me when he came back. Not much science to it, but it is tasty. Mind you, since this sucker uses red wine, I reccomend the cheap milkcarton type of reddy so that old chianti from the 1800s doesn't get bloody murdered by a cola-flavored drink.
Anyhow...
In a glass (tumbler glass or maybe a tall glass if you guys prefer), with plenty of ice add:
Half of the glass filled with red wine.
The other half filled with a cola-based drink (Coke is the obvious choice here).
To vary things a bit, you can add a twist of lime for a lil'kick ;)
Enjoy :)
Thanks again Queue for the thread, I hope it becomes as big as the Cookbook one :D

You owe me a shag. And I like 'em hard and dirty.
Hard and dirty.
...I'm talking tears and a blanket afterward.

I don't have a cool name for it, but me and company enjoy drinking an approximate mixture of:
3 parts cherry pepsi
1 part Bacardi 151
.5 parts vanilla exctract (optional)
Best served over cubed ice.
Also, obviously, much gripping and sipping texas tea goes on between spiked pepsis.

Back in my young dumb-ass hick days of building pipe bombs, stealing mailboxes, and terrorizing cows, I used to love Mt. Dew and Jack Daniels (approx. 6 oz Dew to 1.5 oz Jack). It made this dirty, near sewage treatment run-off colored drink...but it tasted oh so good.

Grand Margarita
Equal measures of
- Good tequila, just finished a bottle of anejo Don Julio
- Triple sec, preferably Grand Marnier
- Sugar syrup
and the juice of one lime.
Shake with ice, serve.
