“The unholy union
of marshmallows
and alcohol.”
16 peep concoctions
We’ve been saving this one for a while… it’s Bailey’s, Kahlúa, and Absolut, on the rocks, with a fiery Marshmallow 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?)

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!
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.

No; really. Peep drinks. Just... so wrong. ...
