Parappa The Drunk Rappa

Derrick Schommer: Welcome to Common Man Cocktails, I’m your host, Derrick Schommer and today, we’re going to create the Parappa the Drunk Rappa. This was submitted by John. I didn’t make the name. Female: I think it’s a cool name. Derrick Schommer: It is a cool name and you know what, in Google, we’re definitely coming on first because who’s done this, right? This drink, this kind of looks like the gates of Mordor here, right, the Two Towers? Female: True. Derrick Schommer: It’s a dorky. We’re using—and this is a second cocktail this week that will hurt you, so be sensible. We’re using Southern Comfort. This is a hundred proof. You don’t have to buy that one, but we have Bacardi 151. We have an ounce of Bacardi 151. Anytime Bacardi 151 comes to the party, it’s going to be a really rough night, so remember that. And Di Saronno Amaretto Originale, this is amaretto. So we’re going to do an ounce of each of these. We’re going to fill it with cherry Coke. I am using Coke Zero because this is probably the best thing on earth. If these guys could see me and sponsor this show, I would like—this is—I drink this all the time. Anytime I’m playing, this is what I’m drinking. Anytime I’m running a code—this is not getting any better with this downward spiral of geekiness. We’re going to put it in a collins glass. We’re going to put ice in there which we’ll do right now live on the show. I don’t know how that makes it live—whatever. We’re going to build this over ice. So what we’re going to do is we’re going to pour one ounce of each of these shots into this glass and then we’re going to fill it with some Coke Zero—oh, cherry Coke Zero. Make sure you get cherry. If you don’t like Coke Zero, I don’t know what’s wrong with you. But you should get cherry Coke. Coke and grenadine, that might work, it’s how I think they do in the restaurants. We’ll start with the worst. We’d go 151 for the win. Oh yes! See, it’s got the stopper to stop you from doing anything stupid or spilling it. You pour that right over the ice. Oh, look at that! The ice is melting right before our eyes, watering it down so we don’t die. A little amaretto, this is probably where the flavors come in because you’re going to get the amaretto, so you’re going to get some almond goodness and nuttiness—nuts right in your mouth, and then we’re going to—that’s for comic relief. Then, we’re going to use the Southern Comfort, which some people like. Anytime I twit out a recipe that has SoCo, there’s at least one person that’s like, “God, no!” But for those that can stand it—I think the problem—and I had a discussion with somebody the other night, or day. I don’t remember when it was. They said Southern Comfort is totally your introductory drink. It’s where people—you do stupid things with Southern Comfort and that’s why nobody likes it because you do something stupid with it and then you’re like, “God! I never want to have that again! It was such a rough night. I had to change all my furniture, throw out my clothes, burn my house down.” That’s because this stuff is—it’s got sweetness, it’s kind of like whisky but not whisky, but flavorful. So it could be bad. We’re going to fill it with Coke. We’re going to put this on this little glass here. I should probably slow that down before I cause a major accident. Oh, look at that! Now look, it looks cool. It’s got—like the carbonate is just buzzing with flavors. Whoa! That is cool! That is dangerous! Do you see the bottom of that? There’s no Coke on the bottom. It doesn’t say stir it, but that’s weird. The Coke is— Female: It’s much lighter? Derrick Schommer: Yeah, there’s danger just waiting at the bottom, so I don’t know if I’m going to—what it’s going to—it might just taste like Coke Zero. Everything might have been compressed at the bottom. If it does, there’s got to be something that I could stir with around here. I could stir it up and see if it tastes any different. Okay, definitely good. I don’t know what—I’ll stir it just to check, like you could taste the amaretto. I’m getting—it’s almost like—I don’t know why, but I envision red licorice and soda put together with a little sweet—oh yeah! Oh, now we’re having more amaretto. I’m guessing—I don’t even know. Let’s just shake this, spin this around and see what it does to us. So what you get initially if you don’t stir it is you get a very intense—not super sweet but intensely flavorful sweet soda and Coca-Cola. So very good, which is very similar to why I do like rum and spiced rum and Coke because it’s got that extra flavor, so you kind of go down that road, not as much spice, more sweet. It’s about the same, a little bit extra—not even a lot of burn. It’s all flavor. It’s just lots of good—what is it? I can never remember what’s in here. So we got nothing; they don’t tell you anything. This is completely useless to me. It just says it’s great. I don’t know. Southern Comfort by itself, pretty good. This, I don’t know. If you’re into Southern Comfort, no problem. If you don’t like it, I don’t really know how this is going to impact your life. It kind of smells like it tastes a little bit, so maybe that’s the sweetness. There you go, Parappa the Drunk Rappa. Definitely be careful with this drink because you’re not getting the burn. You’re not getting the sense of lost alcohol in this drink. Definitely could tell it’s not normal, just regular Coke Zero. It’s too light-bodied. This is much more flavorful, so be careful.
