Mackalactick Mixology...

That’s my good friend M-Double-A-L doing a Thizz Face way back in 1998 with some ladies from the D at the very irie Caribana. Maal’s mad cool folks. With him and my homie Danny, we broke ourselves of the Cleveland curse of never going on vacation by renting a car and driving to the T.O. in a rather impromptu fashion. It was on that trip that I discovered the beauty of travel. Nonetheless, I have known Maal since 1994. He was a founding member of Cleveland’s Primate Foundation, most easily described as a Shaker Heights version of Wu-Tang. Maal had the home studio and was creating some raw shit as half of the Kinkaboo Crew along with BLG. The years have passed by, and as most folks quit the music, Maal keeps cranking out the hits and pursuing the crown. He, like me, said “fuck Cleveland and moved out to San Diego, where life is much better now. Maal’s superpower is being able to solicit anything to anyone. I remember he once got us into some Hiero afterparty out in Oberlin, Ohio, where they weren’t letting anyone in, by claiming we were some other rap group that had opened up for dem Hiero boys. If given the chance, I bet Maal could sell Mein Kampf in Israel, or Baltimore Ravens jerseys in Cleveland, or freedom to a Frenchman, or better yet, some Mexican brown in the Bulldog. Also, man is quite the culture merchant and writer as he is half of the rawest music blog on the net, Turbo City. So, I tell Maal I’m doing a new feature on my blog concerning people’s original drinks. He tells me he’s got some drinks for me. So my homie sends me three recipes. Word. I’ve included Maal’s opine on some of these drinks since I’m scared to fuck with them…

Ghetto Heaven
1 part Christian Brothers brandy
1 part Olde English Malt Liquor

Chad: “Save for that Ghetto Heaven, these drinks sound great.”
Maal: “The pallet is palpable to taste playa! Drink responsibly.

Sour Mash Splash
1 part Jack Daniels whiskey
1 part apple juice
1 part tonic water
1 part grenadine
Mix and pour over ice.

Gorilla Milk (Maal's version)
1 part Bailey's Irish cream
1 part Bacardi 151 rum
A little bit of Kahlua on the top
Mix and pour over ice.

“That Gorilla Milk will make you black out. One time me and [my brother] had about two tall glasses each of Gorilla Milk and we don’t remember leaving the bar. It was crazy!”
