Hard drinks and brownies?!
I'm having a party and usually we just mix random stuff together, but it's going to be more "bar" themed since we just got a new bar counter in the basement!. It's a mixed group of people, very different personalities, but we all like to drink!. So a few questions!. What are your favorite hard drinks that aren't just straight alcohol!?
I'd also appreciate a good brownies recipe if you've got one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ok, for the brownies, you cannot beat the Duncan Hines store bought mix!. It will save you time and alot of work plus I have never had a homeade brownie that tasted better than the mix!.
For popular drinks,
gin and tonic
vodka and tea
rum and coke
vodka and tonic (try some of the new flavored vodkas)
Jack (whiskey) and coke
If you have any diet and carb concious friends, you can try diet coke or diet sprite as subsitutes!. I one made mango flavored rum in diet pink lemonade (crystal light) and it was so refreshing!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, for brownies I'd personally either go to the bakery or use a box mix!
For drinks, I recommend blueberry vodka and lemonade, very refreshing!.
To make a Flirtini, use 2 parts vodka, 1 part pineapple juice, a splash of OJ and a splash of of sparkling wine!. Shake with ice and serve in a sugar rimmed martini glass!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
