really? $20 for a fifth of patron is celeb status? Damn, call me miles davis then...Patron is over branded meh tequila(Paul Mitchells brainchild).
Beer before, liquor never been sicker;Liquor before beer youre in the clear.
But honestly just make caribou lou. It is the best tasting "batch drink" ive had, and is pretty darn cheap. Or you could go the super cheap way and just make "pink panty droppers"- 30 bomb of light beer, handle of horrible vodka, pink lemonade concentrate to taste.
If you are throwing a rager, just get a bunch of handles of horrible vodka, horrible rum, a few 30 racks of shitty beer, some cases of coke, some cases of 7-up/sprite, disposable shot cups, keg cups, and ice...Lots of it, and leave the bags in the sink for easy access. then call it good. no one cares if the alcohol is good or not...especially after a few shots.
