Awesome drink. I get this all the time when I go out to Apple Bee's.

This drink is made much tastier, with fuller, more complex flavor by replacing the vodka with mezcal. Kahlua and Gusano Rojo, or Tia Maria and Chimayo Reposado make a great Blagave (and the coffee will wake the worm!).

Watch out for this one

Delicious drink, especially good in wintertime. It is the primary reason I slept with my best friend! Luckily, it was worth it ;)

Aaaawesome.

It seems that no matter how much time passes the classics will always win. Has always been, is now and will always be a favorite. The occasional splash of Coke doesn't hurt, either.
