Crazy Water Takes 'Being Crunked' to a New Level

“Crazy Water” is a simple drink that goes by many names: Fight Juice. Ecto Wrecker. Garden Jam. Fountain of Youth. Wibble Wobble. ‘Nocerous Nectar.

The ingredients are simple and a quick googling reveals that there are other daring souls out there who have tried the same concoction.  Crazy Water is an excellent drink for Saturday night, aka the Amateur Hour when you just want to let loose, do some dancing, and hopefully stay out of the way of reckless novices.

The Recipe Equal parts: Vodka , Hypnotiq, and Red Bull.

We use Smirnoff for the vodka because it’s a fairly bland vodka and it’s cheap compared to Hypnotiq.  You cannot substitute Red Bull with any other energy drink.  Alize could be a substitute for Hypnotiq, but that would take away the street cred from the drink.

History Hypnotiq dropped on the scene in the summer of 2002 and quickly became the new Alize…especially among the hip hop crowd.  On the way to a pick-up bball game, Elias and I heard a radio MC talking about a great drink called Cool Water–Grey Goose and Hypnotiq–that got him wibble-wobbling the night before.

“Three Cool Water’s and you’ll be walking on all fours” he said.

Elias and I had some Cool Water that night and were hooked.  With the popularity of Red Bull Vodka on the rise we decided to up the ante by creating Crazy Water.  The Hypnotiq and Red Bull masked the vodka so well that we could drink it with equal parts.

The Perfect Pre-Game Buying a Crazy Water at a bar is crazy expensive. Do the math and buy the ingredients for home consumption. Four people can easily go through a fifth of vodka and of Hypnotiq. Plan accordingly to prevent premature expiration of your potent potables.  Make sure you’re close to where you’re going out or at least within sprinting distance since you’ll want to race your buddies.  Hint: if one of your friends is beating you, check them into a street lamp or take out their feet–their physical pain will be dulled by the booze, but the pain of losing will not.

Why it’s not for Hunting Cougars A predator will only hunt prey it knows it can kill (unless it’s desperate).  After a couple tall glasses of Crazy Water you will be lifted to a state of euphoria that may give you a feeling of omnipotence. Feeling all-powerful and allowing yourself to be preyed upon do not mix.

Surgeon General’s Warning Fight the urge to wrestle your friends or strangers.  And even though you feel unusually sober from the Red Bull, resist the urge to drive. You still drank half a fifth of liquor, smartass.
