I Can't Believe It's Not Paint Thinner Vol. 15

Mother schnapps comes in many bizarre flavors including caramel apple and melon ball. We're trying the root beer variety. Its colorful and reflective label reminiscent of a Lisa Frank folder was just too appealing to pass up. But what to put root beer schnapps in? There are actually quite a few recipes that call for the cordial. They have names such as 'brown poo' and 'beer nuts.' We don't actually have any of the ingredients for the drinks, or even the more common root beer barrel (put a shot of schnapps in a beer; drink beer.). So it looks like we'll be sipping it straight.

Nate Patrin: This needs ice cream. Mike Kooiman: That's an after dinner drink. NP: This is the fuckin' bomb right here. Ward Rubrecht: I'd rather have absinthe. This doesn't have enough anise. MK: How would we know if it actually tasted like old fashioned root beer? Jessica Armbruster: You could put it on waffles...

Ben Palosaari: I don't understand how your mind works.

Kevin Hoffman: I could see putting this in coffee or something.

MK: What else do we have... Rum! Rum and this! Ooh blue raspberry vodka.

Pours it together. It forms blue and brown layers.

MK: I call this the bum's rainbow! Wow, it's kind of like the long island ice tea meets death.

Bridgette Reinsmoen: I'm going to take my mug of schnapps and go smoke.

A one-liter bottle of Mothers Root Beer schnapps comes in one-liter bottles and costs $9.99.
