Cocktails: King of Leon
I recently saw this on a cocktail menu in a bar, so, intrigued, I attempted to make it at home to see what it was like. It is pretty lethal in large doses, two demons fighting inside of you; one demon being the alcohol trying to escort you into sweet oblivion and the other being the sugar and the caffeine desperately trying to keep you from sleeping. It is a real party drink; a careful balance and a potentially cataclysmic combination of elements.
To make a King Of Leon you will need to put into a glass with a few chunks of ice and some lemon and lime wedges:
- 2 measures of Smirnoff Vodka
- 1 measure of Cuervo Tequila
- Top the glass up with Monster Energy Drink
I don't know exactly why it's called a King Of Leon. Maybe they themselves drink it, perhaps whoever first came up it was big KOL fan, or perhaps it is designed to be the perfect rock star drink; highly alcoholic yet you'll be up for the whole party.
