Broke cocktails

You're broke. Too broke. These are the drinks you make on that night your wallet's empty, you're cupboard's bare and, out of necessity and lack of other options, Fleischmann's is starting to taste a little less like paint thinner and a lot more like Grey Goose.

The Flatbush

1 part vodka

1 part Aunt Jemima's Maple Syrup

The Flatbush is a lot like unexpectedly ending up in its namesake Brooklyn neighborhood: It's cool to talk about, but once you've experienced it you wonder how the hell you let yourself end up there.

Roy Loko

1 part Blue Mountain Dew

3 parts Gordon's Vodka

With its full body and taste, Roy Loko embodies the motto of its creator, Roy: No pain, no gain.

Related Drinking Game: Edward Lokohands

Need: 2 Roy Loko's,  1 roll of duct tape

The Diesel Rocket

Jim Beam

Hershey's Chocolate Syrup

Monster Energy Drink

Simply put, this is the crappy jet fuel that powers crappier nights. Caution: May cause permanent liver damage.

Andes Mint Shot

1 shot peppermint schnapps

1 liberal drizzle of chocolate syrup

Mix well

This is one of those shots that sounds pretty awful (not unlike basically everything else above it on this list) but actually isn't bad. The chocolate syrup is a bit counterintuitive in a shot, but with even the cheapest peppermint schnapps, they make for a good pair.

Be warned, though—clean out your shot glasses quickly, lest you be left with a caked-on layer of syrup the next day.

The Minty Beast

1 McDonald's Shamrock Shake

1 Milwaukee's Best

This is the kind of drink that comes from an unwell mind. Not to be attempted under any circumstances.
