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
This PeepMobile ("VolksPeep"?) was just spotted in NYC!
Many thanks to the anonymous reader who submitted this! I wish I knew what it was for… I can see the facebook icon on the car, but unfortunately there’s no way to click it.
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…
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.
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!
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…
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!

Rather than turning a peep into a cocktail, we decided to turn a cocktail into a peep. The perfect drink would have a flavor and consistency that would marry perfectly with a peep. We also didn’t want to water our drink down — there needed to be as much booze in these as possible — so we picked a drink that met all the requirements (taste, consistency, didn’t need further dilution to set): the Painkiller.
Using a full Painkiller #2 (2 ounces of rum, but you could go with 3 ounces) as the base, we made the marshmallows, cut them into appropriate shapes, and sugar-coated them in appropriate colors.

Every year, I celebrate Peep Week on my blog by posting a Peep themed video or post each day. This year’s grand finale was a stop motion video made with peeps. This year is the Year of the Rabbit and I guess the Peeps weren’t that happy about that.

These PEEPS had a few too many Long Island Iced Teas and ran into one bad chick and her IROC-Z many years ago. Punishment? The bad chick did her time and moved on to Oprah. The PEEPS got stuck riding the stripper pole straw for eternity. To have your own Peep Sluts use this recipe:
.25 oz. Tanqueray London Dry Gin (25 oz. per bottle)
.25 oz. Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka (25 oz. per bottle)
.25 oz. Captain Morgan Silver Spiced (25 oz. per bottle)
.25 oz. Cuervo Especial Gold (25 oz. per bottle)
.25 oz. triple sec
1 oz. sweet and sour mix
6 oz. cola
1 lemon wedge
1 yellow peep
For classier Peeps: substitute Hendrick’s Gin for the Tanqueray, or for the Tanqueray drinkers – lets be honest: they’d rather you skip the splash of cola.
HOWEVER – if you don’t hail from LI maybe this is TOO much effort. Perhaps you’d rather a more Cape Cod version, in which case I’d suggest:
We’ve been saving this one for a while… it’s Bailey’s, Kahlúa, and Absolut, on the rocks, with a fiery Marshmallow Peep!
don’t ask how many tries it took, to get this right…!
