Easy Homemade Vegan Cocktails

Screwdriver
For those who like adult beverages, vegans can have those too! This screwdriver is just orange juice and vodka. Vegans need to watch out for liquors that are processed with bone char and fish bladder. Also make sure drinks made at the bar do not contain milk or raw eggs. Keep it simple.

Tootsie Roll
I made this vegan shot simply by combining Kahlua coffee liqueur and orange juice. It tastes just like a Tootsie Roll candy! Ironically, Tootsie Roll candies are NOT vegan. They contain milk and whey.




Black Russian
I can't drink White Russians because they have milk in them. Vegans don't drink milk, so I make Black Russians. Tonight's tasty cocktail was made "on the rocks" with 1 part Kahlua, 2 parts Smirnoff, and a cherry.

Tropical Spiced Tea
Tropical Spiced Tea is easy to make. Just get a glass of iced tea and spike it with Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, then add a splash of lemon juice.

Malibu Driver
This home-made Malibu Driver is made with Malibu Coconut Rum and orange juice. Malibu Drivers are safe for vegans, that is until the third one!

Jack and Coke
I've developed a taste for this easy to make adult beverage. Yes. It's just what you think it is; Jack Daniel's Old No.7 Tennessee Whiskey with Coca-Cola, on the rocks. 

Jack and Coke

The recipe for this drink is 2 oz. of Jack on ice, then top it with 8 oz of Coke. Or at least that's how beginners drink it! Those who live hard lives tend to alter the recipe a bit. I only had a mini bottle, so I was forced into drinking this like a normal person.

I've been to the distillery in Lynchburg TN. I've smelled the mash, inspected the barrels, and sipped it straight. It's vegan. There's some other Jack Daniels products that are not vegan friendly. Always get No.7 to be safe, or do some research.

Captain OJ
I made this home-made Captain OJ using one part Captain Morgan Spiced Rum and five parts orange juice. I was able to get such a beautiful photograph of this drink only because I captured this image before drinking this cocktail and the ones that followed it.

Personally, I believe this to be a healthy dietary supplement that positively supports good mental health. Drinking this will ease stress and increase confidence and self esteem. But you should never get health advice from a drunk blogger.
