  • REGULAR MARGARITA

    This has been by far our most common and most successful mix. It's a simple mix of 3 parts Jose Cuervo Margarita Mix and 1 part Jose Cuervo Tequila. Given the Hell Cycler's considerable thirst, buy in volume. We usually start a party with two "batches" leaving one or two more batches in reserve. A batch would be one 1.75 liter bottle of Tequila with 3 1.75 liter bottles of mix. Two batches yields almost 4 gallons of hooch, so that's a good start for a party of thirty or so. Serve with a cooler of ice on the side and a shallow dish of salt. For you penny pinchers out there, don't substitute cheaper mix or Tequila - at least not right away. If you must, wait until at least the first batch has been consumed - it does make a difference.


    Most everyone loves this drink and it has the unique power to inebriate people rather quickly. Another bonus, if you have any left at the end of the night - put it back into the plastic mix bottles and freeze. It keeps for a long time, and makes great frozen Margaritas!

  • GET NAKED LUNCH PUNCH
    We've used this one a couple of times, always around the holiday season.

    • Dark Rum 2.25 liters
    • Apple Cider 1.5 Gallon
    • Cranberry Juice 1.5 gallon
    • Champagne 1.5 liters
    • Grenadine 2 oz.
    • Fine Sugar 8 Tbsp
    • Pineapple Juice 1 Quart
    • Lemon Juice 2 Tbsp

    This recipe makes about 4 gallons. Add the champagne at the last minute to preserve some of the carbonation, and don't agitate. Make sure you get the sugar well dissolved before adding it to the machine. One could leave out the incidentals of the grenadine and lemon juice - it is doubtful they make any difference given the volume of the other components.

  • ALIEN SECRETION
    We've never put this in the Hell Cycler, but we have threatened too. We do know one thing, it will make you too drunk to fish.

    • Malibu Rum 1 liter
    • Melon Liqueur 1 liter
    • Pineapple Juice 1 liter
    • Orange Juice 1 liter

  • ZAGREB JOY JUICE
    This was one of the first solutions that filled the Hell Cycler. That's probably why we can't remember what it was.

    We are positive it was really really good, however.

  • THE OFFICIAL HELL CYCLER MORNING AFTER BREAKFAST
    A brunch buffet featuring greasy eggs, fried potatoes and venison sausage. Naturally, served with mimosas or Bloody Marys. Ah, heaven. Thanks to "fifty-bra-lynn" for this submission.
