The cocktail made of orange juice and vodka is called a screwdriver

Replace the vodka with champaign and it's called a Mimosa and it's fancy.

I'm not having a glass of wine, I'm having six. It's called a tasting and it's classy!

And nobody will judge you for getting blitzed at brunch on mimosas!

However, I have learned that if you go to a cross-dress club (I actually really don’t know what the place was, or how to describe it, but it was like cabaret, I guess, with cross-dressers. Fucking blast!) and get blitzed on dollar mimosas -in the evening-, they will absolutely judge you :)

Combine orange juice with fruit wine and it's prickly.

A mimosa is just breakfast alcohol.

Also the new Craftsman tools are nowhere as good as the original stuff.

I call it Crapsman tools

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Is it all craftsman?

I have heard it's just the craftsman power tools. Which I avoid. But I got a $100 impact driver that's still going strong after 4 years.

But the hand tools. Got a screwdriver. Seems ok.

Did they get sold to China?

In Germany we just call this Vodka-O.

Good boomer humor

[–] [email protected] 42 points 4 months ago (4 children)

unpopular opinion: A drink that's just booze and juice doesn't deserve a fancy name.
Where I come from, it's called Vodka Orange, or Vodka-O.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

I'm a firm believer in that it's not a cocktail unless it has three or more ingredients.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

I'm guessing German rural areas?

Other notable mentions:

Vodka-Bull

Jäger-Bull

Jacky-Cola

Gin-Tonic (more common everywhere)

I call it orange vod-juice-ka

Consider the bloody mary.

Tomato. Arguably a fruit. Juiced. With vodka. A grind of pepper. Some other mysterious stuff.

Then a whole breakfast stuffed into the top. Celery. Pickles. Fried chicken. Go wild.

There's a deep beauty there. Beyond the hearty morning buzz.

Ah, you talking about Second Breakfast!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

We literally just call it vodka juice

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago

It took me waaaaay too embarrassingly long to get this.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

Don't use Tropicana. Use Simply.

Edit: Someone's downvoting this excellent advice?

Try the two side by side. It's night and day.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I use Tampico

I’m too poor for the gallons of orange juice I’d need at a party

Sunny D gang in the house

Most of the people here are feral rugrats. They would downvote the sky for being blue.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

That had better be a humorous attempt at hyperbole. If you're suggesting the sky is actually blue I'm hitting the downvote button SO HARD

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

As opposed to Angelica, who is clearly a traumatized Rugrat, who is dealing with her little brother's death by imagining the adventures that he would have had with the neighbor's (also imaginary) kids, Chucky, Phil, and Lil

Orange crush.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

The joke was on me because I had auto-rotate on my phone.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Has anyone else ever came to the realization that the screwing being driven by vodka+orange juice isn't related to construction? 😏

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

We meet again. Lemmy sure is small.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

That, or KOLANAKI is chronically online.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Same could be said about you, or me, for that matter

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Sure, but we're not talking about you or me. We're talking about KOLANAKI.

It helps that their name stands out more since it's bold and in bigger font.

It also helps that they're genuinely cool people.

I had to think about it before I got it. Gosh, I remember when I was a hardcore (24/7 drunk) alky and that was how I drank. There had to be so much sugar in my OJ that I was killing myself almost as much from that as from the booze.

Is this the Bartender remake or whatever? Loved the first one.
