Ahh yes, the real street-level Brass Monkey—not the cocktail for hotel bars, but the alchemy practiced on stoops, rooftops, and tailgates.
🍺 Brass Monkey (Beer Version)
Ingredients:
- 1 bottle of beer or malt liquor (purists will say only Olde English 800, Colt 45, Mickey’s, etc but who cares)
- Orange juice (from the fridge or the gas station, no judgment)
Instructions:
- Crack the 40 and drink down to the label—roughly 1/4 of the bottle. This makes room.
- Top off the rest with orange juice. No shaking. Swirl it like a poet swirling regret.
- Drink straight from the bottle—no glass, no garnish, no future plans.
Optional: Throw on the Beastie Boys. Let your youth echo through the alley.
Flavor profile: Tangy, sweet, cheap, chaotic—just like life.
