A peeple-pleasing twist on a classic staple beverage – great for “Thirsty Thursday”, and especially refreshing in Spring and Summer!
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:
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?
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.
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!
We choose to plate this with gently steamed broccoli florets, drizzled in a Yuzu Teriyaki sauce.
Have this for dessert instead!
Drink and enjoy!

Two parts margarita, one part blue curaçao, three parts stupidity.
“Laugh it up, fuzzball!”
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.
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.
Fellow peepfanatic NoLaGrrlNYC contributed this fun link… not exactly peeps with drinks, but plushiepeeps in all different situations… truly inspired
And since you are a peep-natic or peepophile or whatever the term would be, you may enjoy the shots a friend took of the plushie peeps I sent her this year at http://karinanotcinerina.tumblr.com/tagged/A_Peep_Show_For_You.

Stuck with too many leftover peeps, and not sure what to do?
Feeling frustrated that you didn’t win the “4 Gross of Peeps” contest we had in May 2011?
Those lovable marshmallows still have plenty of uses… A few hours in the freezer helped this series along:
In the May 2011 PeepDrinks.com contest, “4 Gross of Peeps”, the final score results are in!
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…
Perfect for Memorial Day parties, this college classic never gets old. Or, if it does, I can’t seem to remember it.
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!
Thanks to Dawn Smith, for the photo collage and mention on her blog “Not Just a Mommy – in can’t be just about the kids”!
We’re just one week away from the close of the first PeepDrinks.com Reader Submission contest!
Remember, vote by sharing on facebook or tweeting with an entry’s hashtags… You can browse all the entries at http://www.peepdrinks.com/category/reader-submissions/ — every “share” on facebook is worth 5 points, and every “tweet” is worth 2 points.
The Painkiller Peeps (actually not “alcohol with peeps”, but a recipe for how to make peeps out of alcohol) is in the lead… But 2nd and 3rd place are just one tweet apart from each other! Do you have an entry in the contest? It’s not too late to enter, if you think you can get a lot of shares… and even though there’s no prize for 2nd or 3rd place, I wouldn’t be surprised if either one of them tried to pull ahead!
Good Luck to all, and remember, the winner gets a bottle of vodka plus 4 gross of peeps. That’s 576 opportunities to start planning for the next contest…
