Just Like Keef
Posted by Lynnster on May 9, 2008
One thing I almost always get in my Christmas stocking every year (we’re Episcopalian, that explains it, right?) is a few miniature bottles of whatever liquor or liqueur - usually Bailey’s or Kahlua since I drink stuff like that in coffee often in the winter, but sometimes other stuff. I don’t drink much liquor as a rule and my tastes tend to run to anything that tastes like Kool-Aid. I like many Schnapps - green apple, cinnamon, butterscotch, peach (Pucker in the peach preferably, the rest is too sweet). I like white rum, vodka, and that’s really about it. In the last couple of years, I’ve scored some little bottles of Stoli and some vodka from the Czech Republic. It’s also a well-known fact I like orange soda.
So what better after a really crummy week than to pull a Keith Richards and celebrate the end of this awful week with Keef’s favorite drink, Nuclear Waste - orange soda, cranberry juice, and vodka. Although I’m kinda beginning to think about halfway through that this might taste better with some of that Malibu Rum I’ve had stashed in the kitchen for months instead.
But it’s okay. Depending on where you read, some recipes don’t include the cranberry juice - just straight orange soda and vodka, I think better with the cranberry juice though. Some recipes claim it has to be Sunkist (which I can’t stand) and some say orange Fanta (which is what I’m drinking). It’s all right, but I’m probably still going to dump some of that coconut rum in there before the night is through.
On another note, you might want to have a couple of your own favorite beverages and then go look at this. (Please don’t tell anybody that my first question to ‘Coma when she first pointed it out was, “Are they kangaroos?” - let’s just keep that between you and me.)

I’ll have to remember that concoction, my brother in law is an orange soda fanatic.

I love girly shots too. I’m not sure if I could do orange soda, but I’d definitely try.

Kate - I dunno why I suddenly started liking orange soda but I did a few years ago and now I can’t stop.
Churlita - girlie drinks rule! If it doesn’t taste like Kool-Aid, I don’t want it.
