It feels like we’ve been swimming in the sweat pools of Satan’s armpit for a good month and a half by now, but Sunday kicked off the official first day of summer! Even though the trials and tribulations that have made up 2020 have put a damper on our usual summer celebrations and get-togethers, it doesn’t mean this season is a bust. So while you’re starting to stock up on firecrackers and Bar-S hotdogs for next week’s Fourth of July celebration, take a gander at the list below. Here’s eight 2020-themed cocktail recipes to ring in the Oklahoma summer!
The “Joe Exotic”
This cocktail combines 4 parts Mountain Dew, 1 part tigers blood sno-cone syrup, and 2 parts Montezuma tequila (or any tequila you can find in a plastic bottle, really). The cherry (orange? red?) flavor of the syrup may make it more palatable, but using tequila from a plastic bottle allows the consumer to taste the mistakes they’re about to make. If your Mountain Dew was already chilling in the fridge to begin with, just pour the ingredients of this here beverage in an Eskimo Joe’s cup and get ready to have some kinky sex, lip sync tiger-themed ballads, or acquire an exciting new piercing.
