Ahh... the lifeblood of long layovers. Every flight attendant who was worth their wings knows a good concoction made from everyday galley items designed to get you blasted in the least amount of time. My mouth waters just thinking about it. A long time ago I had this killer mix that would smash your senses without smashing your brain, but unfortunately I lost the recipe (there was an extreme amount of shit in it!). So this page is dedicated to all you mad mixers out there... before your next layover just print out this page, mix away, drink responsibly (I mean don't hog the bottle!), and tell me the gritty details. And remember, 8 HOURS FROM BOTTLE TO THROTTLE! If you have a mix to share with us, please send it to fabp_2000@hotmail.com.

Champagne Surprise
Ingredients: 1 gallow water jug, full bottle of Champagne, Amaretto, Grand Marnier, orange juice, sprite.
Directions: Here it goes, I have held this secret for a long time but now I feel I must share it:

Start with 1 one gallon water jug, add 1 full bottle of Champagne, add 1 styro cup of Amaretto and Grand Marnier each. Add 1 carton of OJ, 2 styro cups of Apple Juice, and finish it up with a can of Sprite.

You should have some space left at the top. Put on ice for the rest of the flight and enjoy. One word of caution, this is a very delicate mix so do a small taste test to make sure the orange taste isn't too strong. It should be a nice smooth drink with a creeping buzz that seems to hit as you roll up to the hotel. ENJOY!!

Chocolate Milk
Ingredients: 1 empty water bottle, 4 minis baileys, 4 minis kalluah, 4 minis vodka, 2 cartons half&half, 2 cups decaf coffee, finish bottle off with milk.
Directions: Mix all the ingrediants together in a bottle. You can add more minis for a stronger taste... if you have chocolate from serving sundaes, a little of this is nice! ENJOY.

Review: (by Dave Meadows) Now this is HMM! HMM! GOOD! Talk about yummy; kind of reminds me of the Mudslide they serve at TGIF. This drink is super sweet and will remind you of drinking a coffee cake, but the buzz is nice and the vodka keeps it from being too sweet.

Cranberry Breeze
Ingredients: 1 empty water bottle, 4 vodka minis, 2 cans of Diet or regular Sprite, 1/2 can of Cranberry or Cranapple juice, A bunch of limes.
Directions: Mix all the ingredients together except limes. Squeeze the lime into the mixture and your good to go!!!

Review: (by Dave Meadows) I haven't tried this one yet, but I like the juices with more alcohol (around 6 to 8 minis). But I'll give this one a shot the next time I have a good layover.

Cranberry Delight
Ingredients: 1 water bottle, 1 carton of OJ, 1 can of Cranapple or Cranberry, 1 can of Ginger Ale, 1 can of Club Soda, 8 minis of vodka, lemons, packet of dry ice.
Directions: Use an empty bottle of H20 and mix some O.J, Cranapple (Cranberry), Club Soda, a tiny bit of Ginger Ale, and last but not least, 8 minis of Vodka. You can add some lemons for better taste. VOILA!!. Don't forget to keep the dry ice so you can chill the bottle. I like it on the rocks but you can have it straight if the juice is cold enough.

Review: (by Dave Meadows) Good taste, buzz kind of sneaks up on you! I added a little bit of apple juice to the mix, and it gave it a kind of sweet edge. Bit of a harsh aftertaste.

Creamsicle
Ingredients: 1 empty water bottle, 6 or 7 mini creamers, orange juice.
Directions: Fill a styrofoam cup with ice. Add 6 or 7 mini creamers and fill the rest with orange juice. Top with another cup and shake well. Strain into another cup and drink. Just like those orange popsicles that have vanilla ice cream inside. TO GO: after shaking, pour contents in to an emptied water bottle and keep on ice until it's time to deplane!!

Fruit Slam
Ingredients: 1 water bottle, 1 carton of OJ, 1 can of Cranapple or Cranberry (8 oz), 1 can of Ginger Ale, 1 can of Apple Juice, 1 carton of Lemonade, 8 minis of vodka, 1 mini of Grand Moneau, 1 mini of Almeretto, limes, 5 packets of sugar.
Directions: This is a variation of Cranberry Delight I've been experimenting with the last couple of layovers. Use an empty water bottle, add the vodkas, grand moneau, and almeretto. Then add the small can of Cranberry Juice, half a can of apple, a glass of ginger ale, and a little of the Lemonade. Fill the remaining bottle with OJ and the rest of the ginger ale. Pour five sugar packets and squish several wedges of lime.

Review: (by Dave Meadows) Well, the first sip always knocks you back a bit, with everyone always saying "Man, that's strong". But you only taste the alcohol that first sip. After that it reminds me of a fruit punch, pretty sweet, and it goes down easy. Careful though, it's easy to drink and if you're not careful you'll see double before you know it. I like this a lot better than the Cranberry Delight since I'm not a big fan of Club Soda.

Innocence
Ingredients: 1 cup of coffee, 1 ladle of hot fudge, 1 cup of whipped cream.
Directions: Pour plain coffee in a cup, add one ladle of hot fudge, mix well then top with whipped cream.

Review: (by Dave Meadows) What, no alcohol?!? Therefore no review. (Hmph!)

Virgin Seabreeze
Ingredients: Sprite and Orange Juice.
Directions: Mix sprite and OJ together, tastes just like virgin seabreeze.
Submitted by: BlueFA.
Review: (by Dave Meadows) Yep, tastes just like Virgin Seabreeze. Pretty good drink for when you're working and want to get in the crew-juice phase for your layover. Absolutely no hangover! (ha... ha... ha. Boy, I'm just too witty.)
