Can you make your own? For all my sarcasm on pissclams/Chingon threads, I'm a hilariously good cook. But I can't make myself a decent LIIT, and it infuriates me.

Right there with you.  I can cook like crazy, but can't make a LIIT taste like anything but straight booze.  Love them when I am out, but do nothing but waste good liquor when at making them at home.  I have tried at least 6 recipes too.

Would love if anyone had a sure thing recipe.

No, and I've actually tried a couple of times to replicate it.  And the premade ones are not very good either.

Yours, or one you pulled from Google? 

I am going to go out on a limb here, but I bet it tastes like ass if you make it at home.

Mixed-drink App.

I personally like the LIIT's with a hint of orange.  Best one I ever had was at Paradisus Resort in Cancun.

Amazing. 

[pissclams]

secret to LIIT is to use a decent sweet and sour or lemonade that can handle the large amount of booze in the drink.  as a former bartender (in aggieville), i know this.

Question for the former bartenders and so forth...

Can you recommend a beer that gets you real good and drunk but does NOT induce you to yell at old people at sporting events?  TIA.

[CNS]

That's a trick question if I have ever read one before.

[nicname]

I'm mainly just a beer guy now....

Schlitz - If you are used to drinking bud, coors etc. make this your new go-to beer, perfect for summer, watching games etc.  and better tasting than most macro swill.  This or Boulevard Pils are my usual buys.

Also like anything from Boulevard smokestack, especially wheat-wine,
rogue chocolate stout
odell ipa (as mentioned earlier is on tap at RAB) 
Anything from Sam SMith
Guiness extra stout (none of that draught crap with the nitro ball and not from the bar)
Bully porter
Spaten Optimator
too many to list really


i love beer.



Oh yeah also for you cider lovers....  Take some cider and simmer it with some dark rum rough ridin' incred and will get you hammered great for winter
