It's getting warm out, and if your friends are anything like mine, invites to deck parties are starting to circulate. Today's drink, from Mixed-Drink, is set up to serve 20 people, 10 drinkers, or 5 lushes. Regardless of the number drinking, you can mix this before hand, show up, and be good for the evening. Though I have NO idea why you would need to put egg whites in this.
Ingredients: 1 750-ml. bottle of Rum, 1 750-ml. bottle of Champagne, 1/2 cup Curacao, 1 cup Lemon Juice, 3/4 cup Orange Juice, 1 tsp. Grenadine, Whites of a dozen eggs, Orange Peels.
Directions: Mix ingredietns into a chilled punch bowl with a block of ice and add egg whites before serving. Garnish with orange peels.

I found an interesting one on iDrink, but only if you like cinnamon and don't have some horrible tequila story, after which you swore the stuff off forever.
Ingredients: 1 tbsp Cinnamon, 1/2 oz. Coconut Cream, 2oz. Orange juice, 1oz. Tequila.
Directions: Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Shake well, and pour into a cocktail glass. Dust with cinnamon, and serve.

I like my vodka in martini form, but I can understand that's not everyone's favorite. Even if that does make them uncivilized heathens.
I ran across this at DrinkNation and thought it sounded interesting. It's not really a drink, and does take some time, but with some experimenting it might make some interesting flavored vodka.
Ingredients: 1 pint of vodka, 2 packages of starbursts (yes, the candy).
Directions: Add the vodka and starbursts, or other candy, to a jar and then cover it with a lid. The infusion will take approximately 2-3 days depending upon the kind of candy used and shaking will make it break down faster. When the candy is fully dissolved, you may have to strain it through a fine mesh strainer to get out the nasty stuff floating on top. Drink it straight over ice, as a shot, or mix with 7-up.
