What to drink at a R. Kelly party?
August 31, 2007 1:21 PM Subscribe
I'm throwing a party tonight -- but not just any party. I'm throwing a Trapped in the Closet viewing party. The question is this: what should my signature drink be? A cool cocktail? A faux-cool cocktail?
What would R. Kelly do?
Or something to appeal to kids and get their panties off. Apple juice and vodka, maybe?

A couple options from Extratasty:
A Piece of Ass
Booty Call
Some drinks that don't exist but would be good names:
I Believe I Can Fly
Midget Under the Sink
R&B (rum & brandy, or rye & bourbon)

since he appears to be a horny high school boy at heart, Ruinite (rose, that is klassiest) in a Sonic cup or orange juice and sloe gin (sloe screw, heh heh), oughta be appropriate.
or 40's of MGD.

Hennessy for the gents, either Alize or Smirnoff Ice for the ladies.

R Kelly probably drinks something with cognac, but I think the ideal drink should sound kinda tough, but secretly be kinda gay.

I'm with I_love_bananas...I don't have any new suggestions but I'd kill for an invite...or at least a chance to be in close proximity to Seattle so I could crash.

I used to bartend in a R&B club, we served a ton of Henne-russians: Hennessy (cognac), Kaluha, and milk. Also, Hennessy/OJ and heinekein.

Around 4 years ago a bartender friend of mine invented a drink special that was named an R.Kelly. Named so because the first person who drank it immediately exclaimed "This tastes like something you'd seduce a 14 year old with" Unfortunately, I domn't remember the exact recipe. It was Amaretto, crown royal, and something fruity. But that doesn't really help you much.
I'm gonna go with Hypnotiq.
When throwing theme parties, it is acceptable to take a regular drink that everybody likes and give it a new name for the night. For example, make a mimosa and call it a "12 play"
R. Kellys transformation into the Weird Al Yancovic of R&B was so gradual that I almost missed it. His new album is insane and hilarious, but mostly insane.

Despite not being a 14 year old girl, I'm guessing that billyfleetwood is referring to the Red Royal - amaretto, crown royal and ginger ale. I prefer mine with three maraschino cherries but I believe only one is standard.

Purple drank, or sizzerp, unless those are both the same thing, which I think they might be. Anyway, they both involve cough syrup.

Clearly, hors d'oeuvres should be served with a spatula.

Ohhh..Almost forgot a drink that's a favorite among my friends: Bailey's and Cognac, on the rocks. We call it a Smooth Criminal.

Something strong. Adults usually don't find midgets THAT funny unless they're pretty drunk.

Something with cherries! But not for Bridget, of course, because she is allergic.

Damn, party is probably already in progress.
But I thought you could completely clear out your 'fridge of your normal foods and stock it completely with 40s or the like. For extra effect, stick some dry ice in there and put a (pinkish?) color gel over the light bulb. The intended effect is a glowing, smoking refigerator filled with 40's.
Yes, I went there.
