Cocktail Tip

Add the ingredients to your cocktail shaker (or jam jar) with cubed ice and shake briskly for about 10 seconds. Strain and pour into a glass leaving the ice in the shaker. This is important for chilling and diluting the drink to the right proportion, plus a fun way to entertain.

Queens

Another decent card game with a mid-level buzz factor. Supplies: people, beer, and a deck of cards.

Shuffle the deck of cards. Spread them out so that any card can be chosen. Someone, doesn't matter who, goes first by choosing a card. The following tells what action is going to be taken:

  • Ace - Pick any player to drink
  • King - All players drink
  • Queen - Ladies drink
  • Jack - Men drink
  • 10 - 2nd person on right of chooser drinks
  • 9 - 2nd person on left of chooser drinks
  • 8 - All players drink
  • 7 - Person to right of chooser drinks
  • 6 - Person to left of chooser drinks
  • 5 - change direction (ie from clockwise to counter-clockwise)
  • 4 to 1 - the person picking the card drinks that many drinks.

Play continues to the left, unless a five, the change of direction card was drawn.
