Then add a splash of Creme De Menthe (depending on your taste, maybe an extra splash or two but BE CAREFUL because if you put too much Creme De Menthe it will overpower all the other ingredients).

Shake it all up, and pour in to an Old-fashioned style glass. Sip it, or shoot it, enjoy.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Disclaimer: This drink is for experienced drinkers only.  It's not designed to look nice, it's not even designed to taste nice, it's designed to rip your head off and get you absolutely wasted.  So don't say I didn't warn you.

Add to a mixer, the Absinthe, Lime Vodka and Lemon Gin and shake thoroughly for 20 seconds.  Pour into shot glasses so that it is 3/4 full.  Pour in the (green) Creme de Menthe and leave to mix while you prepare the salt.  The resulting mix should be an almost luminous green in colour, giving the drink it's name.

The salt should be about a 1/4 of a teaspoon in volume and should be placed in a small pile in the 'web' in between the thumb and forefinger of whichever hand you will not be picking up the glass with.

To drink, first suck the salt and then (with the salt still in your mouth) down the entire contents of the shot.  (After swallowing, it may be appropriate to let out a rather violent scream, but that's personal taste, hehe)

After drinking, please sit down for at least 5 minutes, and don't drink any more alcohol for at least 15 minutes.  Also, you should never drink more than 4 Nuclear Waste's in one session as this could be quite rather disturbing, trust me, personal experience.  I never did find out who that cat belonged to...  A Nuclear Waste can be a very good start to an evening, as a 'lead-in' for more (hopefully less potent) drinks.]]></description>

Grab a martini glass and line the inside with whipped cream.  Leave a little space and then balance the shot in the middle of the whipped cream so it is standing supported.  After that's done, cover the rest of the shooter with a thick mountain of whipped cream.

The birthday boy/girl/victim has to get throught the whipped cream and knock back the shooter without using their hands.  The girls can only use their hands to hold their hair back. ]]></description>

Watch the green of the creme de menthe diffuse throughout the glass slowly and enjoy.

(Ice doesn't have to be shaken, if it isn't sometimes the Creme de menthe will accumulate in the ice cubes if they are hollow and that's quite nice sometimes)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Poi is a drink that is made when you are short on all of your existing booze in your bar.  You basically don't have enough of one thing to make a drink or several drinks, but if you combine them all together, you get a very potent potable.

There is some logic that goes with making Poi, but not much.  You want it to be drinkable.  This isn't Fear Factor.  But that's where logic ends.  

Poi is usually made by college students with little or no money and no desire or way to purchase a new bottle of booze, so they improvise.

--A Poi Example
I was at a friend's apartment in college and they didn't have any beer and only had a few bottles of booze lying around, but they were almost empty (Vodka, Tequila, Sloe Gin, Southern Comfort and Creme de Menthe) and a full bottle of Grand Marnier orange liqueur.  They also had a couple of cans of fruit cocktail.

So into the wooden salad bowl goes the near empty bottles of booze.  Add to that a good amount of Grand Marnier, but not alot.  This is where the logic comes in as too much of that would make the bowl undrinkable.  Next we opened a can of fruit cocktail and emptied that into the bowl.  It was stirred with a wooden spoon and then passed around to drink out of.

Before each sip, you were supposed to say a blessing "To the Poi Gods."  There was no ice, it was nice and neat, unless one of the liquors was already cold (i.e. vodka in the freezer).  Not only do you bless the Poi Gods, but you most likely will be praying to the Porcelein one as well.  

The one nice thing about Poi is that you don't do it that often, and when you do it, it will most likely be different each time.  If you find a combination that is particularly good, write it down and you may have just invented a new cocktail.  Enjoy.]]></description>
