Hopskip is a
mixed drink that is cheap, sweet, and
sleazy; even the most experienced
drinker will have a hard time knowing
how much is too much. The first time I drank it, I was at a party thrown by the
Cornell debate team, where it seemed to have been prepared in an
anti-intellectual gesture that nonetheless failed to fool anybody. The drink is related to
Stanford's
hop skip and go naked, but is slightly
carbonated and therefore easier to pass off as
soda.
The recipe:
Mix all the ingredients in a large cooking. For real
squalor, double or triple the above volumes and mix them together in a garbage can. Some insist that you stir the mixture with your arm, instead of with a spoon, for
authenticity's sake, but I maintain that this is
unneccessary. Pour the hopskip into empty 2-liter soda bottles to serve. Do not tell your guests what they are drinking, at least until after they've put away a glass or two.
