Peepdriver
A peeple-pleasing twist on a classic staple beverage – great for “Thirsty Thursday”, and especially refreshing in Spring and Summer!
- 2oz vodka, over ice
- 2oz fresh-squeezed O.J.
- 1 classic peep
- 1 stirrer to impale the peep
Abbey Peep
This beer has been through a lot. The Leffe abbey got its start in 1152 in Belgium. Since then, it was destroyed by flood in 1460. Burned down by a fire in 1466. Damaged by a passing army in 1735. Abandoned in the wake of the French Revolution of 1794… and after restarting in 1902 it recently suffered the greatest disgrace of all: It’s now Budweiser.
That’s right, it partnered with yuppie-friendly but still-actually-Belgian Stella Artois, and it is bottled and distributed by American shame-of-the-beers Anheuser-Busch.
Sad times for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship… and small solace, to know that the original abbey still receives royalties. One more great institution sold out. <sigh> In times like these, there’s only one thing we can think to do:
- dress a peep in the finest monastic garb
- garnish a snifter of fine abbey ale
- consume like a fraternity pledge!
Peep-Sama Sake
Think there aren’t peeps in Japan? Haven’t you seen the Shochu Peeps? It’s like an Asian invAsion around here!
Transport yourself to the Far East with a handmade origami kimono for your most favorite peep, and reminisce about a time when bushido was about more than just cosplay.
EDITORS’ NOTE: Not to complain, but you wouldn’t believe how long it took us to get this peep to behave for the photo… show us some love, eh?
Green Peepsenthe
The traditional drink for ear-cutting, hallucinatory, suicidal artistic types, Absenthe needs its turn through the Peep Factory.
Whether you consider the French or the Swiss to be the “original,” just be sure to use the European “real stuff.” There are some watered-down American versions with less of the mildly psychoactive wormwood, the mildly psychoactive ingredient that makes it fun.
- 2oz Absenthe
- 1oz icewater
- tumbler with several ice cubes
- stir to enjoy the “luge” (transition from clear to milky-opaque)
- do something unpredictable to the green peep
Teriyaki Shochu Peep
The Japanese call it “Shochu”. The Koreans call it “Soju”. Kinda like the Russians’ “Wodka”. Or the Hillbillies’ “Hootch”.
But straight distilled grain spirits by any other name would still be Peeptastic in our book!
- 2oz Japanese Rice Liquor
- over ice
- 1 slice Pink Grapefruit
- 1 skewer of impaled peeps, assorted colors
We choose to plate this with gently steamed broccoli florets, drizzled in a Yuzu Teriyaki sauce.
Birthday Cake Peeptinis!
Have this for dessert instead!
- 1.5 oz of Cake Vodka
- 1oz of Creme de Caco
- 2oz of half & half
- Rim the glass with white cake frosting and dip into sprinkles
- Cut Peep to sit on glass rim
Drink and enjoy!

Blue Peep-a-Rita
Two parts margarita, one part blue curaçao, three parts stupidity.
“Laugh it up, fuzzball!”
Hennessy Peep
What up? What’s happening?
How come sports people think cheap brandy is a status symbol?
Make a pyramid of cheering peep-leaders, and salute your favorite idol-of-the-minute with our latest abomination.
Add a spike us trolley in
Oops, was that supposed to be:
“Hit us peeps assed rail ya in?”
or
“Addle-pated braille eon?”
However you “speak Australian”, choose Fosters. Because it’s the kind of beer that can be improved by anything. Even peeps.
I mean, “This is the kind of beer that people who eat peeps would want to drink. with peeps. or something.”
Someone stop me before I get pwned by some big people.
Which Came First
This peeptastic creation came from the “We Love DC” blog, which I believe spotted it at the W Hotel in Washington DC (?)… link to the original site is: http://www.welovedc.com/2011/04/22/seasonal-cocktails-at-pov/
Easter is big for the W with its proximity to the White House egg roll and other festivities, so the drinks started on an Easter theme. There was the cotton-candy-blue Which Came First (blue curaçao, vanilla, and heavy cream, hot pink sugar rim – and a bright yellow Peep floating in the middle) and the Cotton Tail which featured actual cotton candy

PeepDrinks.com May 2011 contest winner: Painkiller Peeps, from 12BottleBar.com
So, exactly 576 Marshmallow Peeps, plus a bottle of booze, are now on their way to the folks at 12BottleBar.com who submitted this amazing entry voted highest by you, the readers of PeepDrinks.com!
The winning entry was actually not a recipe for a drink with marshmallow peeps, but a way to turn alcohol into marshmallow peeps! What will they think of next? With four gross of peeps to experiment with, we can’t wait to see what they submit for our next contest! Stay tuned…
Peep Eraser
Perfect for Memorial Day parties, this college classic never gets old. Or, if it does, I can’t seem to remember it.
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz Kahlúa
- 1 oz club soda
- 1 reckless peep
- 1 drinking straw
Pour vodka into a short, wide glass. Next is the trickiest part – with the glass on table, very gently pour in a little Kahlúa. To get the “layer” effect, it must be added extremely gently. The best way is to hold a spoon in the glass, just above the surface of the vodka, and pour the tequila onto the spoon, letting it trickle down. The Kahlúa is heavier, so it will sink below the vodka. Think “eye-dropper”, it really has to be that slow. You may be able to use the edge of the glass to help.
Once you’ve got those two layers, do the same thing with a little bit of club soda or seltzer. Viewed from the side, you should be able to see all three layers (the vodka will be swirly).
Don’t forget to add the peep, for moral support.
To drink this peepcoction, hold the straw vertically, lean over the glass, and put a straw all the way to the bottom. Suck the entire drink through the straw all at once — you’ll have a great view, as the dark Kahlúa disappears and the drink turns clear. If you do it all at once, the first thing you taste is coffee, and the club soda at the end will clear and refresh your palate.
Just don’t have too many…
100 Ways to Cook with Tequila
There is no better time to celebrate the wonders of tequila than mid-spring, that festive portion of the year when Cinco De Mayo comes to call! Cinco is the ideal excuse for a night of debauchery. However if you, like me, crave a year-round “south of the border” journey for your tastebuds without the shame spiral and permanent liver damage, these tequila-based recipes are just what the doctor ordered! That and some anti-cirrhosis pills. (Do they make those? They should. I’ll look into this for everyone. You’re welcome.) Ole!Emily at EndlessSimmer.com
Great site, and all the better for featuring the Tequila Peeprise!

Peepover Cure
- One raw egg
- Dash of hot sauce
- Peep to keep you company
If you’ve enjoyed a few too many PeepDrinks, the next morning you’re likely to be looking for a cure. And we have one!
Of course it’s best if the eggs are free range organic, and for the hot sauce I heartily recommend “Psycho Bitch” mango habañero, brand, with the tagline “PMS in a bottle”)
By the way, don’t actually try to take a shortcut and simply eat the habañero, else this may happen: http://youtube.com/?v=L8ip5oGlMfU. If you fancy the hot sauce, I recommend shopping FireGirl.com — this is not a paid endorsement, I just love the vendor!
