Flaming Peep S’more

Flaming Peep S’more

We’ve been saving this one for a while… it’s Bailey’s, Kahlúa, and Absolut, on the rocks, with a fiery Marshmallow Peep!

don’t ask how many tries it took, to get this right…!

Do you have crazy ideas about the best things to do with peeps and alcohol?  Submit PHOTOS of your best ideas here, and get an early start on the upcoming contest we’re going to host!!!

Peepmopolitan

Peepmopolitan
  • 2oz Vodka
  • 1oz Cointreau
  • 1oz Cranberry
  • splash of OJ
  • splash of Rose’s Lime
  • 1 very sophisticated marshmallow peep
Mix as a martini, add pretense, garnish with peep.

Peep Sebastian

Peep Sebastian
  • 2oz Wray & Nephew’s 151°
  • 1oz Chambord
  • 1oz Blue Curaçao
  • splash of cranberry
  • 1 marshmallow peep
  • numerous piercings
In honor of our goth friends at Absolution, we present this overproof overpierced special… Imbibe with caution, and away from open flames!

Ear Royale (Valentines Day option #2)

Ear Royale (Valentines Day option #2)
  • 5oz Champagne
  • 1tsp Crème de Cassis
  • 1 Pink Rabbit Peep

Just use the tiniest dash of Cassis; the currant syrup is so strong it can easily overpower the drink.  Best to first pour the Champers, then tilt the glass and gently let just about a half-teaspoon of it slide to the bottom.

Mixed properly, the colors should transition beautifully from the bottom to the top.

Normally I am of the Cult of the One True Peep (yellow chick), and I really don’t acknowledge Apocryphal False Peeps (other colors or animals)… but for V-Day I thought the Kir Royale was just too perfect a drink, and it needed a proper peep-friendly equivalent. (counterpeep?)

Enjoy!  And remember to send us your own inventions: http://peepdrinks.com/contribute

Peep Love (Valentine’s Day option #1)

Peep Love (Valentine’s Day option #1)

Equal Parts:

  • Hennessy
  • Alizé
  • Club Soda

Two pink peeps, stuck together

    Based on the noxious nightclub drink “Thug Love”, this one mystifies me.  Alizé, in case you aren’t familiar, is cheap brandy mixed with sticky-sweet fruit juice… sort of like a wine cooler, but with a special grade of liquor so awful even the homeless won’t drink it.  And then the drink is mixed with Hennessy?  (Some Henny is ok, but this drink is made from the very worst).

    So, it’s about as silly as mixing a “wine cooler” with wine.  No wonder they have to add the club soda to make it tolerable. I have no idea what “thug” would be caught anywhere near this drink, except maybe as the beginning of taking advantage of someone underage…

    Don’t try this one at home.  But at least the peeps are cute!

    Tequila Peepshots

    Tequila Peepshots
    • 1 bottle tequila
    • 1 rack of peeps
    • 1-2 lemons or limes
    • small bowl of coarse salt

    Which is better as a chaser?
    Citrus or Marshmallow?  Lime, Lemon, or Peep?

    Try both, and then you decide! Comment below to tell us your vote….

    Either way, beware of the aftermath that may ensue — could be unhealthy for the peeps! Here’s what happened to ours, when we tested in the “lab”:

    • 1 maraschino cherry

    Pear of Peeps Pair Martini

    Pear of Peeps Pair Martini
    • 2oz Pear-Infused Brandy
    • 4oz Ketel One Vodka
    • 1oz Dry Vermouth
    • Ground Cinnamon
    • 2 peeps, still stuck together

    Place cinnamon on a saucer.  Wet the rim of the martini glass, and slide it around upside-down on the saucer to apply the cinnamon rim.  Fill a large shaker with ice, and add all three ingredients.  Strain into martini glass, carefully avoiding the cinnamon, and float two peeps on top as garnish.

    Peepikaze

    Peepikaze
    • 1.25 oz Vodka
    • 0.25 oz triple sec
    • 0.25 oz lime juic

    Fill a small shaker with ice. Add lime juice, triple sec and vodka, shake and strain into a shot glass, then garnish with divebombing peep.

    Peeparita

    Peeparita
    • 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.

      Melon Peep 2006

      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.
