Re: Official Drink of 2009 Contest!!
That's culturally insensitive that is!
But alright, how about Vargöga (Wolf eye):
Ingredients
20 cl/6 oz Vodka, chilled
1 frozen lingonberry.
1 Glass
Directions
Place frozen lingonberry in glass.
Fill glass with vodka.
Drink quickly before the berry thaws and dilutes the vodka flavor.

If a drink is mixed well, you will NOT taste the alcohol. Sure, you'll be able to taste that there is alcohol in it, and you'll know if it's vodka, gin, whiskey, rum or what have you, but you won't get the alcohol taste if it's mixed correctly. That's really the definition of a good cocktail and the reason why very strong cocktails are so rare. The ingredients must blend together just right in order for it not to taste like a glass of alcohol with some random flavors thrown in...

Re: Official Drink of 2009 Contest!!
I'm afraid as a student I don't have much cash for anything apart from cider. But currently in my shelf i have a bottle of Gordon's Gin (I cant stand the juniper berries in Bombay Sapphire), a bottle of Morgan's Spiced Rum, some left over strongbow (cheapo cheapo), a bottle of archers liquor and Angostura bitters, plus mixers.
Favourite quick drink to make- the classic G&T with ice and lemon
Favourite hard drink to make- Rum Sour (rum, soda, sirop water, lime juice, Angostura bitter)
The weird thing is i have an intolerance to beer and larger, if I drink it, even less than a half pint, it comes back up by the end of the night.

Howard Dean Pep Rally
In a 3 oz. shotglass mix 1oz. Skyrocket caffeinated flavoured syrup, 1 oz. of Vodka, and one 1 oz. of the best hot sauce you can get your hands on. Throw it back, hold it in your mouth til it hurts, then let loose with an 'Eeeeeyow!' worthy of Howard Dean.

You must not eat at IHOP. I'm a pancake lover, and one of my favorites at IHOP is the "Swedish crepes" variant of their "international breakfast": Crepes with lingonberry-infused butter. Yum!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingonberry_jam
My local grocery store carries lingonberry jam, and IKEA has it in their Swedish food section. It's like strawberry jam but milder and less sweet. I love it on English muffins, as well.
I often get cheese blintzes at IHOP, crepes wrapped around ricotta cheese and pan-fried, then served with fruit and sour cream. I get them to substitute lingonberry jam for the strawberries it's normally served with.

Re: Official Drink of 2009 Contest!!
I love the pretty bottles I see in liquor stores, but I liken them to album covers with half-naked women on them. It doesn't mean what's inside is worth a damn.

Yep. I went to a bartender's school not long after graduating from high school and have had a decent home bar ever since. I've made a (some would say nasty) habit of buying cool liquor bottles and refilling them with 'well' liquor. I do still have my top shelf liquor for myself and good friends, but when making pitcher after pitcher of my famous frozen peach daiquiris, well, I don't use the good stuff for that...

I suspect he starts with "well" peaches.
