High-Rollers & Tripod Tribals

During our trip to the mountain house in North Carolina, we all celebrated my friend's birthday. Sam turned 22 on the trip, so naturally we had to make some kind of cocktail for a proper celebration. All the boys on the trip were making old fashions, so the girls decided to make up some specialty cocktails that would be better than theirs (just kidding, but they were still really good). We ended up coming up with two different cocktails, and by no means are these professional drinks, but they still tasted damn good. The names might sound bizarre to everyone, but they are just inside jokes amongst my friends & I. These cocktails are super tasty, and definitely get the job done (if you know what I mean).
