    This one is definitely a little rowdier than "After Dinner Liquors",
    but here goes -

      Snowshoes - mix peppermint schnapps and Wild Turkey whiskey half
      and half (or maybe a little less schnapps and more WT) and keep
      in a jar in the freezer.  These are done as shots or shooters,
      rather than sippers - after the first one you'll understand the
      reason for the name! Actually, they are much better than they
      sound, and are really handy to keep in the freezer with a supply
      of bathroom-sized Dixie cups. A little more festive than beer
      if old friends are in town and stop by, or if you want to celebrate
      something special  (getting home from work Friday at 5:30!).
    
      We made some for our wedding recently - for everyone to toast
      with when cutting the cake & had put the bottle in a larger plastic
      jug & filled the space with silk flowers and water.  When frozen
      and the plastic taken off, the bottle had an inch thick layer
      of ice with flowers frozen in around it - very pretty.
    

    Amaretto puff, is THAT what it was called. Someone bought me one
    of these once, didn't tell me what it was and just handed it to
    me and said 'drink this'. I 'd had enough drinks already and so
    I tried it. Most of the drink ended up on the bar and the guy who'd
    given it to me.  Never give someone one of these without warning
    them. I was so startled at all this fuzz suddenly in my mouth I
    immediately spit it out.
    
    I'm very glad I was too drunk to be very embarressed then or I would
    have been under the table. Now it's just funny.

There's a similar drink called "the tequilla snapper" which is made by 
putting a shot of tequilla into a glass and then filling to the half-way 
mark with champange.  Again, you bang it on the table, and swallow the 
fizz.

    Amazing, I was introduced to them as "Alabama Slammers", I assumed
    since you slammmed them on the table. Same thing though, Tequila
    and Squirt or 7up.

    Or "Rum slammers" (something descriptive like that:
    Rum most of the way to the top of a shot glass, covered with a layer
    of Coke, and slammed.

Can anyone provide a recipe for Scorpion Bowls?  (Or a pointer - I've done some
searching in here but haven't found anything yet.)  MY roommate used to make 
them in college (way back when!) but I can't remember all the ingredients.  I
do remember rum, OJ and grenadine I believe, but there's more to it than that.

I need this ASAP.

Thanks,

Just foudn the mixed drinks file and got a recipe from there.  An updated 
pointer to this file is VMSZOO::GREEN_MONSTER.  (I don't know how to do the KP7
thing.)
