I came home Friday and she looked at me and said, "Do you want a mountain climber?"  At first I had no idea what she was talking about (a common occurrence with me ).

Then she handed me a drink.  It's one part Absolut Citron, and 2 parts Mountain Dew in a glass of crushed ice..  I had quite a few this weekend.   I'm a very light drinker and mostly my taste is for dark beers, but this is a very refreshing summer drink.

Sounds like the kind of drink that will sneak up behind you and coldcock you when you aren't looking.

I Googled Absolut Citron and Mountain Dew and found a "Magic Mountain".  It's way more diluted with added triple sec.  Sounds way too sweet.

It's hard for me to take any drink seriously that has Mountain Dew as an ingredient.

Mt. Dew mixed with the tequila of your choice is also very good.

I invented a drink, it's called a diaper.

It's a shot glass with banana liqueur, whipped cream on it with a pea sized bit of peanut butter on top.

It's yummy but hasn't been a great success.

Try it with bourbon (and a few drops of lemon juice) instead of vodka.

I did that a while ago, but the taste just was not for me.

When I was a highschooler my buddies and I got hold of a bottle of vodka but we didn't have any orange juice to make screwdrivers.  So we got a bottle of Minute Maid Orange soda instead.  Talk about foul ...

My favorite backpacking cocktail is the Snowbound:  Fresh powder snow, powdered Gatorade drink mix, and Everclear.
