MarekedMan's Kate on the Rocks mix:
1) Take a long hard pour of Kentucky Bourbon straight into a chipped plastic tumbler. Ice? Are you kidding me?
2) Bring a bottle of Absolut vodka close to the bourbon. Briefly, very briefly, touch the tumbler.
3) Add ice to the Bourbon. Just one cube! No harm...
4) Find a flashy but cheap decanter. Fill it from a Southern Comfort bottle. Start waving it around the Bourbon haphazardly, like you really don't care.
5) Add a few more cubes to the Bourbon. After all, the first one melted...
6) Now begin to wildly swing the vodka and the Southern Comfort at each other and at the bourbon. Lot's and lot's of motion and near misses with both bottles, but nothing really happens.
7) More ice in the bourbon. It's starting to look watery now.
8) Hold the Southern Comfort decanter and the bourbon tumbler close together. Shake, Shake, Shake. Shake vigorously. Shake some more. Pour a dash of the Southern Comfort in bourbon.
9) Add ice to the bourbon.
10) Take the bourbon and vodka into another room, leaving the Southern Comfort behind. Shake the bottle and tumbler together any number of times, for weeks, maybe even months. Pour a dash of Vodka in the bourbon.
11) More ice, more ice.
12) Pull the tumbler violently away from the vodka bottle. Follow the tumbler around pathetically with the vodka bottle. Whine and sob a little as you do so.
13) Take a long hard look at the now hopelessly watered down bourbon and try to remember what you saw in it in the first place. Didn't it used to be hard and crisp and bracing? Now it's just a watered down mess. Sigh.
14) Take a quick look at the pathetic vodka. Shudder.
15) Go back into the other room. Look for the cheesy decanter but realize that at some point in all the commotion it had been poured into a plain but serviceable bottle. Despite the fact that you don't really care for the overly sweet, cloying taste of Southern Comfort you take a little sip. What the Hey! You had only assumed it was Southern Comfort! It was really Makers Mark! It was the best of the bunch the whole time.

OK - grab a large Martini shaker and fill with ice - add the following:
Kentucky Bourbon - 1 shot
Absolut Vodka - 1 shot
Tangueray Gin - 1 shot
Espresso - 1 jigger
Shake this mixture violently for 23 seconds and pour it all into a tall glass - add straw - drink only 1
