Thanks so much, Dave, for finding and sharing this ridiculous site I put up one night back in 2006… I’ve been a fan of your humor column since the ’90s, and if I knew you wrote about the site and got us all those visitors, I certainly would have kept it up over the years! Aah, well, it’s back online now for 2011 (5-year anniversary).

What better way to wash down all these sweet, sweet, items than with a sweet, sweet, drink. Yes, someone out there has invented drinks with peeps. Why? Who knows, probably on a bet of some sort. Are we happy about this? Maybe… it seems like a good use of peeps and maybe the only thing on this list I could consume without that many negative side effects. At least one would hope.
What’s really scary is the reference to their sister site, peepsluts.com. This isn’t active at the time of this posting, so be careful when visiting as the contents are completely unknown to me…

- 6oz Sauza Hornitos Tequila
- 4oz Triple Sec or Cointreau
- 2oz Grand Marnier
- 4oz Lime juice
- 2tbsp Confectioners’ sugar
- 1 row of frozen peeps
- 1 non-frozen peep (garnishes and other extras optional)
1. Fill a martini glass with crushed ice and cold water, to begin chilling the glass.
2. Over a small plate or cutting board, rub the whole row of peeps between your hands until the frozen and colored sugar coating rains onto the surface below. This will be a messy nuisance, getting all over your hands — just deal with it.
3. Fill a large shaker with ice cubes, add tequila and triple sec first, then lime juice and confectioners’ sugar (or substitute 2oz simple syrup).
4. Dump the icewater from the martini glass, and rub the upside-down glass in the “peep dust” to create the colored sugar rim.
5. Carefully refill the glass with crushed ice.
6. Shake the shaker, strain into martini glass over the crushed ice, and garnish as illustrated.

Ok, so we know the “production values” on the 2006 site aren’t quite up to the 2011 standards… but still, there’s charm, right?
Fine. Just leave me alone and enjoy the damn peeps. Stop making fun of me.

Of all the crazy concoctions, this was actually one of the few that truly tasted good. Honest! It was more-or-less a Melon Ball: Midori, Orange Juice, Vodka (a LOT, to cover the rest of the tastes), and of course a sugar rim with peep.
