Forxspresso - The return to Karaoke

This Thursday I decided to ditch my lovely, young-professional life in Reading and delve back into the seedy underworld of student-dom. Committed to doing this right, I therefore went for the full extreme - the students' guild on a Thursday night, with low quality karaoke and lower quality drinks.

Surprisingly I still knew most of the people there (and those that I didn't, I soon scared off), and unsurprisingly, Snakebite still tastes like ribena, mixed with sugar, mixed with stale water - slightly carbonated. Fortunately, a new drink has been invented, by the legend that is Forx, and named in his honour.

The Forxspresso is a drink of a type most people haven't tried before - a Hot Shot. Here thar be instructions for making your very own (if the well-trained Aston bar staff aren't to hand, for some reason):

1. Pour one shot of vodka into a small glass (half-pints work fine)


2. Pour one piping hot double espresso into a separate cup


3. Add two teaspoons of sugar to the espresso


4. Stir well


5. Add the espresso to the vodka (Do Not Add The Vodka To The Espresso)


6. Stir, thoroughly but promptly


7. Consume, all at once


8. Fall over (vodka)


9. Stand up (sugar)


10. Jump around (espresso)


11. Rinse


12. Wash


13. Repeat

Unfortunately, a few of these makes it rather hard to remember what happened over the course of the night. Fortunately, there aren't many pictures to enlighten me. Here's one though, and I'm still wondering who was drunk enough to lend me their glasses at a point when I was drunk enough that I wouldn't remember them doing so later on:



Also, many thanks to whoever kindly scrawled a large heart, and 'Ina FTW' on my chest at some point. That went down a treat the next day when I was working ;)

One down, three to go.
