Drink #052: Death of a Virgin
PAX East 2014

Our first experience with PAX East was an overwhelmingly positive one. So much so that we hope to add it to our list of regular, staple cons we return to each year. It was a whirlwind weekend with all the trappings of other cons we’ve attended, but this one was all about gaming. We discuss everything from the hotel location, the convention center, PWNMEAL, PA themselves, and lots of other stuff.

And now your helpful bartenders at The Speakeasy present your drink:

Death of a Virgin

  • 1 1/2 oz vodka
  • 1 1/2 oz peach schnapps
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • orange juice
  • 7-up soda

Pour vodka, schnapps and lime juice into a glass. Add orange juice until the glass is half-filled, and fill completely with 7-up. Stir well, and serve.
